I am thinking of starting a home business where I would wrap presents for people that just don't have the time or just plain don't want to do it themselves.
I'd like to know if anyone has suggestions as to how I can go about charging per package/bag/etc.
Please help!

I own a small workshop. Last Monday, I had to leave early and only the workers were at the workshop. They are 2 workers ,and very honest. I trust them very much.
They sold things with the amount of 250 pounds on Monday. When the time came to close up, one of them put the money in the drawer of the desk , and they closed the doors and left.
The next morning, I came and asked for the money, it was gone. They looked for it every where , but they couldn't find it.There was no sign for any break in or anything.As I said , they didn't steal it. But what I think has happened is that they left the place for 3 or 4 minutes, which they often do, and someone got the money from the drawer.I decided to split the amount. I would pay 100. The one who had the money would pay 100. The other one would pay 50.But this last one refused . So I said o.k but I told him that if he ever leaves the place again, I would fire him. He got so upset and left. U think I was right or wrong ?wt should I have done ?

I've been working for almost one year at a publishing company in charge of a new book. I was talked into writing AND editing the entire book without any help whatsoever, even doing thousands of small things for free. The manager promised me at the very beginning to make my title "Managing Editor" and to pay me a certain amount of money. After finishing all my work perfectly (according to everyone in the company) he created a personal problem with me and claimed I insulted him (which is NOT true) and now I've found out that after writing the entire book he won't mention my name at all (will put the name of one of his friends instead, someone who doesn't even work in the company) and refuses to give me my money! Unfirtutanely, I'm a freelancer so I don't have a contract; I only have all the files and some emails from him as proof of my work.

I feel so cheated and wronged I've been crying for a week. I've done my best and more for this company so why is this guy treating me like this?

If I let credit cards go without paying them is there anything they can do to me, legally, other then pestering me. I am only on a disability income, with no assets.

Are they all scams? Some of them request your driver's license, etc. I know most of them will take a percentage of what they find, and that's OK if they are legit. Does anyone know a site or can give me some feedback on these types of companies.

I have been searching, with very little result, for a proper site where to find recent surveys and statistics re: average salaries in Ireland. The only near acurate one I found is the CSO. Still, this is not quite enough for me. Could anyone help?
(Being French, I might not have used the proper words -though I tried salary, earning, wages, income- I am sure good literate english speakers will do much better. Thanks in advance!)

My brother has significant debt. A house with a $96,000 mortgage plus credit card debt of about $58,000. He just inherited $75,000 from his wifes parents. Would it be wiser to use that $75,000 and at least pay off the credit card debt, OR should he invest the $75,000 and continue paying down the credit card debt like the rest of us? Problem is that with consumable debt THAT freakin high, it will probably take him close to 35 years to pay off his credit cards. Which is the wiser move, and what would you personally do?

My friend sells the odd thing on ebay and probably earns around £20-£30 per week -She sells her kids old toys and clothes etc.
She uses the money in her paypal to buy other goods off ebay.
She's really worried about getting grassed on, does she have to declare it, as she only does it when she needs to buy something for the kids.

She gets no child support whatsoever and has been trying to get it for 3 years.

I means working online away from head offices. For example, one lives in Singapore and works for a company in USA without requiring to visit the office which is based in US at all. All s/he needs is just a laptop with an internet connection to work and contact the head office. It sounds like a dream, doesn't it?

I heard there's someone who actually works that way and I'm quite interested in. But I don't know where I can apply for such that kind of jobs. Hope someone here could give me some ideas. I'd be so grateful! :>

I have been on medical leave from my employer since late July of this year, after having major surgery. Although I have kept my employer advised of the status of my disability (including submitting certifying paperwork), I had never heard one thing from my employer until I received a certified letter today, stating that I was now considered an "inactive" employee and no longer on the payroll. My medical benefits have ended as well. I was never advised by my employer that my job was in jeopardy, nor given any status on my FMLA, which was submitted before my leave began. Now, my ex-employer is stating my FMLA leave of absence began when I was still reporting to work every day and that I was advised of this. I was never given status on anything. Now, I'm sick AND out of a job. They will never "re-hire" me. I have contacted my state's Fair Employment dept (waiting for return call) and will be meeting with an employment law attorney. I'm devastated. Serious replies only please.
