Business & Finance - 21 July 2006

I quit my part time job after a year as they were giving me too many hours ( I was on a 10 hr a week contract - they were giving me up to 50 a week!). I give 2 weeks notice and then went on holiday, when I got back I hadn't been paid. They said I had to give 4 weeks notice and will deduct money from my wages for their costs incurred and I'll get my wages minus the deductions the following month. I told them that I would've worked the extra 2 weeks if I'd known but they said it was too late. Is there anything I can do? Please help.

I lived in an apt complex for a few months and I cancelled the contract giving my notice and the termination fee of $720 (rent payment) becuase I was buying a house. Now the apartment complex sent me to a collection agency and they sent me a letter saying that I owe $1011. I sent a dispute letter to them. They called me at work which they are not supposed to and the collection person yelled at me and told me that I owe that money beucase of damages. I left the apartment in the same way that they gave it to me the 1st time, in excellent condition and I have witnesses. Also the kept the $200 deposit. I heard that if I write a dispute letter they can not report me to the credit bureaus, which I did write it and sent. I need help and orientation if someone have go thru this before or any legal advise. Thanks!!

What can I do to show my boss that I'm capable of handling this supervisor position? The person who is leaving has this LEAD position and we started around the same time and I know I'm capable of this! I'm a bit younger than her but I know I can handle it! What can I do?!?

Any suggestions would be helpful. I work in a call center and its a pretty small department. I've alrelady talked to my supervisor about it and she's considering me, but there are other people interested in it.

Thanks!

A loans company is trying to ellicit an admission from me that I lied on my application so they can sidestep a dispute and just give me back the money I've paid for an insurance premium so that I don't take them to court. I don't know whether a verbal admnission is automatically going to get me a CIFAS mark or whether I have to sign something first. Either way, if it happens, is there any way to clear my name?

Probably such a question might have been raised earlier.. would request you to give this a thought and some time. In the current international business scenario, we are seeing a trend of movement of business from the west to east, particularly China. With such a backdrop, is it a viable option for young b-school grads learn CHINESE (at least to the extent of speaking Chinese)?

I am the main person at my job, a small law firm, and I have been here for 7 years. Besides the two attorneys, there is only one other person at my job and she started about 8 months ago with no experience. I believe it is time for a change in my life. I have been offered another job, but we are still working out the salary, etc. and I'm not really sure that I will accept it. I am sure that I want to leave my present job. It just bores me to death. I know all there is to know about it.
