Business & Finance - 20 August 2007

Hi, I work for a small business company.
I am going back to school this year - I will be a Student-at-Large this semester (meaning I am not seeking degree). I am taking Fiction writing Class.
Now, I am thinking to approach my boss - and ask if he would reimburse my tuition.
What are the general rules / requirements / laws on that? (if there are any).
Is Educational Assistance governed by nay employment laws/ regulations?
p.s. my co-worker, who is pursuing a MBA has her tuition reimbursed. but because we're so small and lax around here, she never got any Written Agreement with the employer. -- I do not want to follow into those steps.
What do I do?
What questions should I ask? What should I agree to?
Do I even qualify ( being an "irregular student" enrolled in a Fiction Writing Class)?!
Please, Help!
Thank you.

It was on bloomberg online video news.I didn't really get how the rate differential is related to what is happening with coperate bonds and T-bills( rediculously low yield). A guest from Lehman Brothers also mentioned something like "currency swap with ECB" as the next step.....how does all of this comes together. I just want to understand what I heard.

Ok, so I really wanted this job at a truck stop (yes, I know, it's not glamorous but I needed a job!). I filled out an application, got 2 interviews, and then the lady who interviewed me told me to call her in a week if she hadn't called me already because it looked like I was really going to get the job.
I called her and she started beating around the bush telling me "oh, I need to finish my interviews and oh, i'm waiting for the office to call me" and so forth.
I've been turned down like this before, so my question is, why don't they just tell you that you're unqualified or they found someone else instead of just beating around the bush and playing guessing games?! Is there anything I can say to them?

I was contacted by a guy who said his name was Cristian Little and contacting me for his company. He said it was for an at home job that paid about 2,000 a month and that if I was intrested, they would provide paid training, all I have to do is have a bank of america account. I've heard of at home work scames, but will they contact me through a career website?

I looked for a job all summer,but no one was hiring so is now a better time to apply.Like for grocery stores and drugstores(CVS,Ekcerds,etc)or anywhere really?

I'm only 16,so that limits the jobs a bit.

My wife and I are starting a company in California. Most likely only my wife and I will be the only people that will work for the company so we don't plan to pay employees in the near future, however if we expanded in a few years, we definitely could. From a tax / profit standpoint, which should we choose? I know that LLCs are easier in a number of ways but which will save us money? I do know that LLCs have $800 minimum to pay per year to operate in the state.

I have heard people say one or the other but not really cite the true facts, %, and numbers that would be paid for each.

Thanks for your help!

Okay we applied for Healthy New York medical insurance. It is by Community Blue but has lower premiums for small business owners. My question is I just found out that I am about 5 weeks pregnant. The doctor will not want to see me until I am 8-9 weeks (around the end of September). My insurance will begin September 1st, however I got pregnant the last week of July when I was not covered. Since I never saw a doctor and won't until I am covered will this pregnancy be considered pre-existing?

I got laid off of my first job out of college (worked there for 4 years) at the end of May, I found a sales job in the middle of July and as of today I quit b/c it just wasn't working out. Should I not even bring this up on my resume or in interviews? Can companies run a background check and find out if I've had another job? What if I said I was temping the whole time or I went on vacation or something. How should I handle this situation the proper way?
