Careers & Employment - December 2006

Our company gives out $25.00 gift certificates for a turkey on thanksgiving. We hired two new interns and I gave my boss their gift certificates to give to them when he saw them. After the holidays I asked them of they got them and they both indicated they did not receive them. What now?

We work 12 hour day shifts, 3 on 4 off and 4 on 3 off. 40 of us have been told that as the project we are working on is ending they are giving us 2 options,

1/ we can reapply for our jobs (they have 12 jobs) and take a 30% pay cut because we would change to monday to friday.

2/ we can work 12 hour alternating day/night shift for 10% more.

Working M>F and taking a 30% pay cut is out of the question not to mention the extra 6 hours of travel time a week.

Working Night shift is out of the question because I would be spending 4 to 5 hours a day travelling when I'm working nights.This would mean that I get maybe 5 to 6 hour sleep after working 12.2 hour shifts.

I've given the company 3 other options which they refused, one was to give me redundancy (as they've made my job redundant). They are also Outsourcing our jobs because when I go in two weeks they are replacing me with 2 contractors. I would appreciate any advice on what you would do. I live in Ireland, Thanks.

The positions I am applying for are court clerk positions, nothing high ranking, so how "thorough" will these background checks be? In the state of Colo., when verifiying employment, the employer can only say if you are rehireable, and nothing else. How much can they legally say if they are contacted for a background check? I have worked for some real aholes in the past and I don't know what they will (or can) say.

i work in retail, obvouisly can't name who!, but am expected to work 21 days straight through december, until xmas day!
we don't normally do this, just in december, but still i wasn't asked if i could, just expected to! "with the needs of the business etc?

there are incentives (ie money) such as time and a half etc for working days off etc.
i questioned this in a round about way as to not put my managers back up. and was told that they would speak personally to anyone who had a problem with it.

but is this illegal?

I signed a non-compete work clause with my employer 2 1/2 yrs ago. I've been offered to come work with another company to eventually become owner, but they are a competitor. Would there be legal recourse if I went to work with the competitor? I would need to take my current client roster with me.

Is there favor on my side if I ask for an increase in commission rate (I get 40% without a base and everyone else gets 50% without a base), and if they refuse then could I switch companies without having legal trouble?

I've read many reports confirming this, but I'd like to hear from HR managers in hospitals and clinics if there's really such a shortage. Most of the reports I've found are from 2004 which may no longer reflect actual statistics in shortages.

If there is a shortage, where and what type of nurses are in need?

Thanks.
