Business & Finance - 1 December 2007

I work at a daycare, and usually 90% of the time someone in the center is sick (either staff or a child). I came into work sick knowing that I was not able to call off, due to that I am the only teacher in the preschool room. My co-worker decided to inform me later, that if I am not allowed to go home, and I understood the reason. However, I did not understand the ultimatium that I recieved from my boss, that I will be suspended if I do not make a doctor's appointment. I do not receive health insurance from this employer and I can not afford to go to the doctor. They also strictly frown on any call offs (doctor's excuse or not), especially myself because I am the only teacher for that room (and I do not have a replacement). I am getting better, but they are still hounding me to go to the doctors, when I can't afford it. I understand their empathy but can an employer suspend a sick employee for not going to the doctors? is that legal?

I was engaged and he chated on me. Now I need some advice. I bought a house last August. The house and all bills are in my name only. His (ex-fi's) dad did give us money to help with a downpayment, but he signed one of those gift forms, saying that it was a gift to me (FI never mentioned). The monthly payment is taken out of a joint account. (I think I am going to change this and have it taken out of a account that only I have). Does fi have any right to the house, because everything is only in my name? He thinks he does, I of course say no because his name is not on anything. I am not sure if anyone was ever in a situatioon like this. We are NOT married, and each of us made deposits into this joint account to pay all HH bills, as well as any bills FI had (his carpayment, student loans) Whle I kept a different account to pay my bills (CC, cell phone ect).

I am working in IT, but would like to quit IT if possible. I am under 35 years of age. I would be interested in other line of work. I'd like to get your suggestions for something that does not take that much training, and legal high paying line of work. I don't care if it's dangerous.

However, I exclude going to Afghanistan or Iraq as a Army enlistee. That would not be the type of life I want to live.

Ok heres the deal. I've got a little behind. My landlord and I are cool. I know no matter what happen he won't throw me and my family out. I was a few days late on Nov rent. At the time a few days after was due I had the full amount with late fee. But anyway he decided not to take the money. Instead made me a deal. My rent is due the 10th of every month. So he made me a deal. He won't take the money I had. But would knock $200 off for Nov and Dec. A $100 each month. Well he put the due day for the 3rd tommorrow. I have nothing. By friday I'll get paid but will still short some. So anyway, I wanna come up with a reason I have to pay him friday and why it won't be the full amount. If he can wait 2 weeks will have full amount. Or by then I'll be able to get some assistance. HELP

If you gave out your name, bank account number, and routing number, can the person use this for identify theft or stealing money from your account?

Can they use it for anything bad?

I was told on Friday by a co-worker that they have been asked to be in my performance review. When the Copy Director left the company right after I was hired, the decision was made to hire a senior copywriter instead. I was told when she started that even though I am a junior copywriter; she is in no way over me. We both report to the same person and have been working as equals for the past 6 months. Being one of my peers, it seems wrong for her to be in my performance review. Yes, I do look to her for guidance, but her being in my review will make the situation more awkward and even embarrassing. My husband suggests I speak to my supervisor before the review, but I would like proof that this is illegal before I proceed. Does anyone know of any laws against a co-worker being in a performance review?
