Hi,

What is the procedure to sue the employer in UK for not releasing the pending amounts. What kind of court do I need to go to and do I necessarily need a lawyer?

Regards,
Chandan

I have 3 jobs, one at a resturant, another at a cafe & childcare twice a week.

I am 15, what are your opinions on this? I enjoy working, if I didn't I wouldn't be doing so much. But I don't want to be wearing my body out.

Any advice? or Opinions?

Thanks xox

i live in new york ( upstate )
i graduated in 2006 , ( engineering degree )

but i worked at this call center for 6 months ( mar - august )

what had happend was that i got fired when they were trying to make me full time , they checked my attendence report ( Due to my absenses which was against the company policy ,but i did call in sick whenever i took leaves )

Now i am home , looking for engineering jobs , but i don't think i would be able to find anything any time soon . so would very much like to know if i am eligible to get any unemployment benefits .

We live in the state of Arkansas, and my friend works at a local pharmacy. She works some really crazy hours. Like, 4-5 days a week, all of which are shifts of 12-14 hours each. Now, this doesn't sound like a bad deal, but her boss won't pay overtime rates. What he does (and this seems really wrong to me), is that he pays her for the normal 40 hours a week, and anything over that, he pays her through another financial company that he set up. He refers to this as "contract labor" . Simply put, she makes the same for a normal hourly rate as she does with her overtime hours. She might even work 70 hours, but never gets paid a dime more for her overtime.

So, is anything about this wrong or illegal, or does she just have an incredibly crappy job?

I'm looking for a new job and a friend gave me this advice when deciding between the two jobs....."Frame all decisions through a window of timeliness. In the long term, are your choices sufficient for your aims? Embracing distant gratification can help overcome short-term work difficulties like a pro"
what do you think he means by this?

Okay, so im thinking of resigning my Suntrust computer tech job to work for Worldspan IT Engineer (Programmming) it's better pay than at Suntrust but the only thing is that i first have to go through a 3 month training. the Recruiting process states: "Review for hire with reporting manager following successful completion of training program" I am 30 years old. I am not sure if i should be taking this career risk in being "hired" and reviewed...i am not sure now if i should resign from my secure full time job or take a risk with this other job and see if i get hired after the training. Has anyone worked for this company or know someone who has ? If so, how has their exprience been? Is Worldspan a good company to work for and to get hired after the successful completion of the training program ? Any advice would help. THanks

I work in a comprehensive school and am on a full-time (52 weeks of the year) contract. I am entitled to take 26 days leave a year but have been told that I can only take this time during school holidays (i.e when pupils have their holday). I was just wondering if they are legally allowed to restrict my leave this way and If anyone is in the same predicament?

like I said her experience is limited and she is applying for similar positions not upper positions. Her experience includes in factory work: Build & inspect PC Panels, audit PC Panel parts, Feeder on a J machine, Packer, Inspection, knows how to operate a tow motor and could easily get a new licience for it again. So does anyone have any ideas for a short JOB OBJECTIVE sentence.

Well, I have been looking like mad in my area for a server position. I have two strong leads at Applebee's and Outback.

The problem is this: I get the feeling I could make more as a server at Applebees, since they don't combine tips as Outback does, and there is a faster customer turnaround time. However, I was informed by the Applebee's manager today that they do not have much space for servers at this time but room for a hostess. I am told I could work my way up to server, but I will have to work days (I wanted weekend nights, serving).

I guess this is kind of a composite question. My interview at Applebee's is tomorrow, and my interview at Outback (I already passed the required test) is Monday. I feel like I have to decide now whether to go with Applebee's or Outback.

What is your opinions on this? Do you think working my way to server from hostess or turning down the hostess job and going to the outback interview is the better choice?

Thanks!

Same pay, almost equal benefits, but better career oppurtunities. My current boss is super nice, and my co-workers rock as well.

Should I stay or should I go?
