Careers & Employment - November 2006

I am a contractor and I get paid hourly; however I have been working overtime (>40/week). Federal law state that you should get overtime if worked over >40 hrs. Is my company violating the law by stating that I don't get overtime?

Here's part of the wording:
"...the company hereunder, during the term, the company will pay the contractor at a rate of $54/hour, all hours worked. "

I work in a factory which employs 600 people,most of which do not speak english and do not know the fire drill as they have never been involved in one,the reason they have never practiced one is because the company have not practiced a full fire evacuation drill for about 3 years and the foreign people that work in the factory (400-450 ) have not been employed by the company for this amount of time.is the company breaking the law.

I'm really stuck in a rut. I graduated from Exeter Uni in 2005 in French and Spanish with a pretty good degree (2:1 with distinction in Oral French) and I just don't know what job I want to do. Since I graduated I have done various temping jobs to fund me going travelling (April - July) and I am currently doing a maternity cover job in the Belgian Embassy working as a Trade Assistant and French Admin Assistant. I can speak fluent French and Spanish and have just started learning Italian. I'm pretty good with computers, have good all round multi-communication skills (ie. grammar, spelling, speaking with people, I.T) and am a confident person, but I just don't know what to do or where to start. I live in the South-East of England but am happy to move. If anyone has any job suggestions I might not have thought of or websites that could help me out I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!!

OK, I just recently have a new boss as the organization structure changed and my ex-boss is transfered to other dept.

The problem is that he likes to back-stub me while talking with my new boss and as natural the new boss is pretty confuse. Most of the lies are not true and the way he describes my character could destroy my job at this company.

I couldn't believe his (ex-boss) character and what's the real point of doing this. Is it like that saying "the sour grapes" kinda thing?

You could imagine, I am happier with my new boss. But then again, how long it would be until he'll be poisoned by the dirts and change?
