Business & Finance - 17 November 2006

Folks... I just got a new job. However, back in June I got a 17 thousand dollar raise at my old job. This raise was dramatic but I was hired at a very, very low rate. The raise brought me to 55k a year.

Today I get a call from my old boss. He said they made a mistake in payroll and I was being overpaid. They had me down in the system at 80K per year. I honestly did not know the difference in my checks because the raise was dramatic in the first place (17,000 more a year). Do I have to pay them this money back? Any information and/or legal advice would be appreciated

We signed documents on Sunday and left a deposit for the purchase on a home. Escrow opened on Monday. On Tuesday we received a preliminary on what our payments would be. I sent an email to our realtor explaining that the payments were too high and not what we were quoted. Our realtor told us if we backed out we would loose our deposit. We were pre-qualified but my husbands work hours have decreased. Do we loose our deposit? Can we back out without losing our deposit? Does an email count as far as notifying our realtor within 72 hours? Don't we have 72 hours to back out without losing our deposit?

I know this isn't the greatest job but one of the perks is that after so long the sick hours do roll over and if there are other associates out there I need help with the answer!

I am having some trouble with a new business. I am concerned because the large advertising expense will erode profits for the first year of operations and I know that to obtain financing you will be required to submit an income statement prepared based on absorption costing. A manager approached me about a way to improve profits so it will be easier to obtain financing for future operations. The manager suggested that I have the controller classify the large advertising expense as a product cost, similar to materials and labor. How would classifying advertising expense as a product cost improve profits? Is this approach ethical? Is it legal?

This would be the third year this boss has done this. Shouldn't he have to give us our paychecks before the holiday begins? We are in California.

I am in health care and my new employer (not for long) doesn't compensate if I work through my lunch break, they won't pay OT. If you stay over for some reason or another, they call you at home the next day and say " you can come in 30 min later". Or if you do a double they make youtake the next day off. Which might be good for some people, but sometimes I like to work a little OT around the holidays for Xtra $$! Or some people I work with they depend on OT to help out with the bills! I don't see how this company can get away with this! No wonder the employee turnover is so high!! Plus the insurance and benefits are crap! Sorry just had to vent!

Do employers have the right to demand your e-mail password so that they can monitor your activity to see who you're talking to and make sure you're saying what they want to hear to people. It's really to have total control over communication that takes place in the company and to make sure that the "executive" team isn't being talked about behind their back and also to make sure that people don't know and aren't talking about the boss and his extramarital affair. This can't be legal can it? He will say it's for occasional monitoring to make sure we're using e-mail for professional purposes, but I know better.
