My husband is working for a restaurant that is going out of business. I told him he should apply for unemployment benefits while looking for a new job. His boss told him that if he applies for benefits, they will have to pay it out of pocket (The state will pay my husband, and the state will send a bill to the previous employer). I was under the impression that the employer pays some type of unemployment insurance premium to the state for such purposes.

Anyhow, if they will have to pay it out of pocket, we'd rather not apply at all, since the owners are bankrupt after closing the restaurant down. But if it's just a claim on their insurance, it seems like it would make sense to apply for benefits until he can line up new work.

So, who pays for unemployment benefits?

I am in the process of getting this paid but they had to go ahead with the filing of the "warrant" against me. Can I be arrested or anything if I get pulled over or something? They told me at the Department of Revenue that it is a "lien" on me or my business, which I ended last year but the paperwork was supposedly never received.(always my luck) I do owe for the taxes but not near as much as they say. I am just worried about what the warrant means.

I knew from day one she was a brown nosing messy little witch(minus the 'w' add a 'b') SHe runs to the managers and other co workers and tells them every little detail of what goes on. Recently, I just stoped speaking with her all (just used to say hello, and keep short work related convo, now i barely say good evening) She has started this rumor to all managment and workers that I don't work and just talk to other people, etc. etc. Now we are under new management and I'm afraid my job is on the line b/c she has probally gone to them too. I know I'm doing my job so I shouldn't be concerned but I've been sick lately and had to take time off of work. I'm scared for my job b/c they are "weeding out" the slackers and people who don't come into work. What should I do? I really want to pull her as* to the back and give her a good NY beatdown, but we already know that's not the "civil" thing to do. Please help. Seriously. It's getting out of hand

This spring we purchased a lawn company on contract. However, the number of accounts that we agreed to buy has significantly dropped, resulting in us paying more than the business is worth. The contract states that they will give money back for each account lost, however the refunded amount is only 25% of what we have paid. We signed the contract and never thought so many accounts would have been lost. Now we would like to get out of the contract. The contract does not list what will happen if it is broken. Even though contract was signed can we get out of it because of unfair terms?

I co-signed for my (now) ex-boyfriends car about a year and a half ago. I only did it because I was told that it would only be for a year, and then it could be transferred into his name. Well that didn't happen, and I now have creditors calling me because he continues to fall beind with his payments. I am not sure what my rights are, or if I have any as the co-signer. The creditors and bankers are no help, and I seem to have a hard time finding people who can give me good advice.
As a co-signer, can I take the car from him, and sell it on my own, or do I have to get it transferred into my name before I can do anything?
