well my boss doesn't wanna pay me. I went on vacation to France for 15 days. My friends say that I need to have a paid vacation because all jobs do. So I was just wondering. I'm probably not gonna take legal action. I was just wondering.

Is this Receiver/Dispatcher job legit? I contacted this person through craigslist and he emailed me with more info about the position. Basically, he sends me packages through the mail and when I receive it, I print out a shipping label and ship it out myself. He also states that I will be provided with prepaid shipping labels so I'm not spending my own $. This is what I have to do after I receive the packages:
1:CONFIRM THE RECEIPTS OF PACKAGE DELIVERED
2:I WILL MAKE ADEQUATE SHIPPING LABELS AND REGARDS WEIGHTS PROVIDED
AND HAVE THE LABELS SENT TO YOU VIA EMAIL(THE LABELS REPRESENT PAYMENT
FOR SHIPPING THE ITEMS TO THEIR DESTINATIONS)

3:YOU PRINT OUT THE LABEL AND TAKE THE LABELS AND ITEMS TO THE NEAREST
POST OFFICE,DHL OR FEDEX STATION,THE COURIER WOULD HAVE THE SHIPPING
SORTED OUT.

Oh and he wants a copy of my drivers license (send to him email or fax) for record purposes. Is this a scam???

I agreed 2 do overtime about 3/4 weeks ago and I couldnt do it coz I was really ill. Now i have a formal warning and I have to have a meeting with my general manager about my absence coz this would be my 4th absence due to illness in a year. Can they do this as it was overtime and not my contracted day?

So I got this new job and I screw up alot. I'm kind of frumpy eventhough I try not 2 b. I sometimes forget to do little things that are important.
I work 9 hrs eventhough I only get paid to work for 8 hrs. My mom got mad at me because she doesn’t think that I should work 9 hrs when the job agency that got me the job only pays me for 8 hrs. The reason I work an extra hour (4 which I know I will not get paid) is because I know I screw up a lot and I rly don’t want to get fired,so I try to give my collegues/supervisor some extra help (by staying an hour more to help them)

So am I doing right or wrong?

We are currently looking for a number of administrative and executive assistants at my employer. I work as a Human Resources Manager and coordinate the panel interviews for the jobs. All finalists are brought into a panel interview and need to talk to a half dozen people at once. We ask some tough questions.

The first question we ask is this, "do you expect to participate in office politics in this job"? Almost everyone says no, or they are not familar with the term Office Politics. We did have a few very sharp candidates who said Yes. Of course this was the right answer.
EVERY PERSON WHO WORKS CLOSELY WITH OTHER PEOPLE AND NEED THEIR COOPERATION AND SUPPORT MUST PLAY OFFICE POLITICS.

Very few jobs work in isolation and we need to understand office politics and play it well if we expect to get ahead. Agree or disagree?

I work at a fancy hotel and I thought I would like it but I really hate it now. I am trying to think of excuses to call off of work. They didn't even train me enough and I already got in trouble three times because of this (working the front desk as a cashier). A lot of the guests are really rude and nasty and some of the other co-workers are also. I can't take it anymore but it is so hard to find another job/internship. I would really like to find something in my field of finance NOW because I am soo tired of this. Any advice?? And can someone give me a reason to call off today? I also hate that seniority is practiced and I am the only one who works the late shift because of this well everyone works the morning shift. Last night I worked from 3 to almost 1 because they had no one to cover the overnight shift.

I am a school counselor and I work in an office with one other counselor and a secretary. I began working in September and, after 3 months on the job, still feel like I am not part of the team. I ask lots of questions and am usually responed to with a roll of the eyes or a look of confusion. I am not an idiot--I have a MS and graduate cumma sum laude. The head counselor makes most of the decisions (which is fine) but she never tells me about them--she does tell the secretary though. I end up looking like a fool in front of colleagues. She even went so far as to change the testing schedule I was in charge of and did not even bother to tell me she did so, or why. The clencher is that my principal came to me Friday and told me my co-workers do not feel I am being helpful enough. I explained that I am always asking if they need help and am usually told no. I also mentioned that I never received a job description so I do not know what else I should be doing. Any suggestions?

I am applying for a night shift job at a local PetSmart. They are asking me what I think the minimum I should be payed is. I am only 18 and have not had experience at a night job so I don't know how much I should suggest. The work is stocking supplies and all that jazz. I need money to pay my college tuition and I am a night owl so I figured since 3rd shift makes more then normal shifts I'd go for it. Your help is greatly appriciated.

my job really sucks, cleaning exhaust hoods at restaurants. the hours are any time, day or night. sometimes even night jobs, followed by an early morning job. on top of the bad hours, it is hard work. we have to get out powerwashers, cover a bunch of stuff with plastic sheeting, vacuum up water, get on roofs of different types of places. all of this for $8 an hour! is it legal for him to pay that little? he also tries to skip us out on drive time, which some places are 50+ miles away. some holidays he doesnt pay us, i remember working on labor day, with no holiday pay! and i'm wondering if he's required to pay us graveyard-shift hours after 12am, like any other normal place. my father works at the post office, graveyard-shift and he automatically gets 1 1/2 times pay. is my boss doing any illegal practices? should i report him?

A seasonal position type employer sent me a letter saying that due to the evaluation of my performance I will not be made an offer to come back. I am very surprised and I would like to find out what happened. What would be the easiest/best way to do that? Ideally I would like to see my performance evaluation and why I was "probably" considered "unfit" for the job.
I saw several questions on here about Freedom of Information act but does that pertain to private employers? I live in Alaska and this is a private not government employer.
Is the employer even if I ask required to provide me any information?(I saw this differs from state to state).
Definately good information would be helpfull and maybe some legal link.
