<br />YOSHIYAMA: Okay.
<br />HERKES: Seventy-five hours a month.
<br />YOSHIYAMA: As I would look at this job or, you know, I guess our job comes in phases. Right now,
<br />we’re in the organizational phase, okay, and soon we’ll be over that phase and we’ll go into something
<br />else, whatever that may be, okay. Whoever works for us, be the attorney or a clerical support position,
<br />will also be in those phases, so the first job of the person that we hire, if it be a secretary, is
<br />organizational in nature, you know, learning about us, us learning about that person, that person maybe
<br />brushing up on public information kind of stuff, organizing our office, etcetera, okay. And then along

<br />we just start them off, because we don’t know who we’re going to get, and later on says okay, we’re
<br />going to give this person benefits. What, could we have gotten somebody better, you know?
<br />??? Just point of clarification, I see some faces over there. What you’re talking about is if the person
<br />goes over 20 hours, by law we have to offer some benefit package, is that my understanding?
<br />RAY: No.
<br />HIGASHI: Not -.
<br />SANTANGELO: If we contract -.
<br />BALOG: Not necessarily.
<br />HIGASHI: If you go over 20 hours after three consecutive, four consecutive weeks.
<br />??? There’s some criteria, right?
<br />HIGASHI: And if it’s a consistent thing, yeah, you can -.
<br />RAY: Well -.
<br />HIGASHI: You can go over 20 and then you go back down.
