Business & Finance - 2 November 2006

..to be 'on call',I have to answer a support phone upto an hour or so after I finish work and all weekend (this is a new reduced version it used 2 be 24/7) I recently requested a copy of my contract to see what wording there was regarding this as I have only had covering letters to add to my original contract.(I transfered jobs which did not have 'on call'.) It took my HR department 6 weeks to tell me they did not have a contract on file for me and a further 4 weeks to get a new copy drafted. when i did finally get thecontract the 'on call' was only mentioned in a covering letter stating that salary included an 'on call' allowence. Is this right surley this should have been put into the contract? I have had a session with my boss because there was a day when I lost the phone and knowbody could get hold of me but I rang in a day later to sort problems. I'm being bollocked for something there not even prepared to put into contract can I do anything about this?

The company announced it will pay .60 cents on the first 5%. Do you think someday they someday take this back?

Also announced, medicare-eligble, over-65 retirees will no longer have employee-provided heatlh coverage effective Jan. 2008. They will receive $1800.00 that can be used for supplemental heath insurance.

This is a service industry. All are engineers. Money is not the prime factor here. Respect, Freedom, Growth,Opportunity,Challange, Power these work as a motivational factor. Can you suggest some motivational tips, which may helpful to retain the talent.

I have two choices to move into a place:
300bucks, I have to switch trains to get to work, no internet, in a dodgy neighbourhood, share with 2 guys (I'm a girl)
562 bucks, I don't have to switch trains to get to work, internet access available, in a genteel neighbourhood, share with 2 girls.

Which would you choose! Honest serious answers please, and why!

Hello guys I have little confusion about seo optimization. My question is that suppose a domain name that is 14 year old has 6000 links (check by typing link:www.domain.com). On the other side there is a site that is 8 year old and has 3000 links. Which domain will come top in the search assume that they both are optimized for the keywords. How big of role does domain age play when it comes to seo?

I am 23 years old & I'm fixing to graduate from college. I will no longer be covered under my parents insurance & I want to buy some. I've always had wonderful insurance with Blue Cross/Blue Shield & I'd like to have the same kind of great insurance when I purchase it after graduating. I just want dental/maternity/maybe optical/and the other basics. Ballpark, how much would insurance be on me? When I get married will it be cheaper to cover both of us? What will that price be? I'm very healthy & do not smoke.

the "borrower" gets his money right away, either as a credit line or monthly payments ...

does the bank wait for the borrower's death to cash in (with the sale of the house) or does the bank get its money some other way ...
