First, I'm from California. I just started a job that's seasonal for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Just a normal call center job but I work about 11 hours a day. I know I get 3 hours of overtime each day, but after the 4th day, that totals to 44 hours of work already. That's 12 hours of overtime, but in California you receive overtime for every hour over 40 hours worked in a week. That's so far 32 hours of normal pay and 12 hours of overtime. BUT if I work anymore that week, is every hour over that considered overtime, or do I have to put in 8 hours more of regular pay hours to make 40 hours of regular pay hours? Also, when is double pay other than more than 12 hours a day? And, if I continued to work 11 hours for the rest of the week (thats 7 days x 11 hours), how much would my paycheck be if I make $10 an hour without tax taken off?

My mom and dad been divorced for over seven years but gets calls every night from these creditors. The creditors seem to not believe he doesn't live there, thinking her husband to be the one they are looking for. My mom sent cease & desist letters but they are calling again; she thinks the debt was simply sold. She cannot keep paying $$$ to send registered mail to these creditors when they can simply keep selling the debts. I'm also not in contact with my dad though he's asked for money in the past, so no help there.

I am a single mom with a part time job at my daughters daycare. I work there so that I dont miss out on my daughter, get a discount on child care, and so that I can financially provide for our family.

I work 15-20 hours a week as a fill in (someone calls in sick- Im the back up)
Unfortunatly it's not paying all the bills. I need a job that I can work random days-no set schedule ( b/c I work different days every wk at my daughters daycare).

Any suggestions on EXTREAMLY flexible job?

I've been trying to find a niche product to sell on ebay that has a lot of demand and where I can buy it cheap enough to make a profit on it. I'm looking for high volume products that are not already being sold by everyone. How do you go about finding these products? or creating them?

The money is perfect and nobody will ever know it's counterfit. What would you do? Would you just be set and party for life? Would you start your own non-profit? Or would you do something else??

My boyfriend is 20 and has never even had a bank account. He makes okay money, but he cashes it every week. I am 19 and I've had a bank account since I was 14. I went to college for a year, and then decided to leave, so now I've got a bunch of open loans and only about a year of credit history. We REALLY need a loan so that we can get a car. Do we have a chance? How do we go about this? I know there are a lot of seedy places, but are there some reputable ones? Will a bank help us out?

Social security payments go up for a person that retires at a later age. Is the same true for a person that is disabled? Will filing at age (example) 55 for disability earn the disabled a smaller SSI check per month than filing for disability at a later age?

A friend who is a real estate investor (she's new to the game) in Oregon tells me that Oregon law prohibits the auctioning of houses. I cannot imagine a reason for this and I'm wondering if perhaps she's misinformed.

Are any of you aware of such a law? She said it's reasonably new.

My credit is not great because I just left school, so I have a lot of open loans. I really need to get a car. I have a perfect driving record and a steady job, and I can afford monthly payments. Is there any chance that I could find a place to help me get a car? I live in Maine, so bonus points if you know a place in Maine...

daughter was fired 4 theft at clothing store. They told her she owes them $8,000 even though they don't know what exactly was taken. They told her she could bring back the merchandise & they would deduct it from her total, depending on its condition. Except everything she will be bringing back doesn't even come close to what they said she owes. What can I do about this? Anyone know? Other employees got caught to but they only were charged $1400, this just doesn't seem right to me. Please help me.....

I am having a job interview to get a promotion soon. I was told it would be mostly behavioral questions. I'm not sure what questions to expect. It's to go from the teller line to a loan officer position. Is there anything I should look out for or try to do? I get nervous in pressure situations and I really want this job. Is there anything I can do to prepare? Or anything I should have handy. I need to make this an excellent interview because I don't have the training and I need to impress them with my ability to answer questions better than the person who is already trained to do this job.

If they're still in training, they're not a regular employee yet, right? So then if they're let go, that doesn't equal getting fired, right?

For example, I am a self-confessed chocoholic, especially Cadburys, but I hate the fact that they exploit the countries supplying the cocoa. I used to shop at Gap, but discovered years ago that they use child labour - and were recently found to still be employing children. I have just watched a documentary about Coca cola and found out it had ties with Nazi Germany, employed questionable practices with regard to hiring of ethnic minorities, also has ties with child labour and so on. And due to the vicious, murderous nature of the diamond industry, I will never wear diamonds again.

I never intended to be a kaftan-wearing, tree-hugging "ethical consumer", but it looks LIKELY that almost every big corporation out there is, at best, horribly exploiting somebody much weaker than themselves. At worst, it is killing them.

ANyone out there feel where I am coming from? Can I go out and buy chewing gum tomorrow morning without having to worry about who died to provide it?
