Business & Finance - 8 August 2006

My boyfriend's old employer bounced his pay check for working a month. He, in turn, bounced his rent check and other payments that he made thinking the money cleared. When adding up the fees, it came to roughly $5800. They agreed that they owed him the money, then wrote him a check for $3000, asking for more time to pay. It's been 4 months and they haven't paid him yet..so, the check that they originally bounced was for the amount of $2600; he took that check to the bank and cashed it; thus only leaving a balance of $200 more owed to him from them. They just realized it, and are now claiming that it's "fraudulent" as it was already bounced and they're having the bank do an investigation saying he wasn't authorized to cash it. We think it's crap. What do you think?

I'm a one-man marketing & design business and have decided to grow. Instead of recruiting someone full-time I'd like to employ someone on a placement basis whereby they gain work experience with the potential of a job if they prove themselves.

Does anyone have experience of recruiting in this way and what were the results?

I will soon join the workforce and was curious if you are still paid for sick days? I assume if you are paid salary then yes, but if you are hourly it may depend on the company.

My parents need IRS documentation to show that they don't need to file income tax returns anymore, because they've already retired and receive only SSA pension and SSI benefits as their income, amounting to less than 10 grand per annum combined, for both of them.

Anybody out there knows specifically where in the IRS website it can be found? Or any other source?

I keep getting these crazy offers saying that if I do a quick survey for them they will send me a $500 gift card to places like Old Navy, Red Lobster, Victoria Secrets. Have any of you filled out a survey? Did you get the gift certificate? Has anybody else won anything from any SPAM offer?

I earn £17,000 before bonuses and he earns around £13,000. We are not looking to get a mortgage straight away, but in around a years time. How much do you think we will be given? (Obviously providing our credit checks etc are OK!)
