Work From Home

if your boss fire you b/c you can not work overtime, can you get unemployment benefit?

If you fail to work overtime, that may or may not be “cause” for not receiving unemployment. You have to appeal to your state.

No, unless you have a signed employment contract. Employment is "at will", which means it is the will of you or your employer for you to work there. They can fire you for any reason other than the protected discriminations - race, religion, gender, familial status, etc.
——————————————————————————–
if it is mandatory overtime and everyone else has to do it then unfortunately no, you can’t sue him and yes, he can fire you for it. It might even jeopardize you from getting unemployment compensation because it can be called insubbordination.
——————————————————————————–
There are several variables to this; depends on the agreement at time of hire and weither or not your state is an ‘at will’ state.
If the issue of overtime has never been addressed, until the last moment, then you may have a case.
If your state is an ‘at will’ state, meaning they can fire you without cause, then you don’t.
——————————————————————————–
Most employment is "at will" — meaning it can be terminated for a good reason, a bad reason, or no reason at all. Unless you had a contract covering such a situation, or you were fired on one of the bases prohibited by the Civil Rights Act (and corresponding state legislation), you don’t have a case..

As a matter of fact, they can fire you without reason, and it’s nearly impossible to prove a reason without paperwork stating a reason.. dicisue this issue with your local attorney,most lawyers provide free consultation.In the meantime apply forunemploymenttbenefitt

Awhile ago at an old job I had, we hired a part-time employee who promptly began taking a lot of days off for illness, car trouble, etc. At the end of about 3 months, the boss realized that she had been absent more days than she had been present. She was let go.

She never told anyone anything about a pregnancy (it was always a different excuse — illness, car trouble, etc.) But just before she was fired, all the women in the office (including the boss) realized that we’d been harboring the same suspicion — that she was pregnant. When she did come to work she had low energy, was distracted, and she had what looked to be a belly bump that was starting to emerge the last couple times we saw her.

So my question is, if she had told us that she was pregnant (instead of making up excuses), would it have been legal to fire her? Can you fire someone for missed sick days if they are pregnant?

I ask because at my work we only get 6 sick days a year and it is REALLY important that people show up to work (I’m a teacher). Could they fire me if I have to take more time off? I’m at a private school, so union rules don’t apply — just normal labor laws.

Does anyone have experience with this?
I am particularly worried because you aren’t supposed to tell anyone until after 3 months. So I feel bad about that girl at the office because she was probably only about 3 months pregnant when she was fired so she was technically doing the right thing by not telling us. Should you tell your boss earlier than 3 months if you are having to take a lot of days off because of vomiting, etc?

In my field of work, we are to report that we are pregnant right way, as soon as we get the pregnancy test. I’m an infectious disease/critical care RN and there are many patients that I just cannot take while pregnant because of radioactive medications etc. So that waiting til the 3 months thing doesn’t apply to us.
I would say it would totally depend on how long you had worked there. For this part-time employee, she seemed new and she seemed to have a lot of issues right off the bat, which played a huge role in getting let go. It is not legal to fire someone due to medical problems, but that doesn’t mean employers can’t find other ways to make the employee’s lives miserable. We had a nurse who worked with us for 30 years, and she suffered as stroke and then a heart attack back to back and was out for 6 months. They posted her position and filled it with someone else. They did not fire her, but she was demoted from assistant manager and had to be a floor nurse. And she had worked for this company 30 years.
Best advice I would give is that you go to work and don’t miss any days, even if you don’t feel well. If you have to miss a day because you are really really sick thats one thing, but just know being pregnant you will be tired and you may be nauseated, and you will feel like that whether home or not. Being a teacher is not hard physical labor per say, you don’t have to lift 300lb patients and you get breaks and time for lunch, which we rarely have. I had to quit working this pregnancy entirely since I miscarried last year on the job and I figured its just not safe for me to work with those patients who are so incredibly sick. As long as you are generally a good employee, you should be fine.

I’m 19 and am seriously considering what I want to do with my life. I am a perfectionist. I stress over every little detail when it comes to my work and want to turn it in perfect. This sometimes leads to procrastination and laziness(I don’t always feel like giving the 140% effort needed to make the work perfection). I also think I could have slight ADD…lol

I did very well in English/Writing classes through High School, but again, stressed over each essay and didn’t find them to be fun at all. Two of my HS English teachers thought I was far beyond everyone else in my writing. I recited a poem in one of these classes and the 56 year old teacher said it was the best she had heard in all of her years of teaching. She’d had me repeat the poem in front of the class and said beautiful was an understatement.

I enjoyed Algebra a lot. I had an A+ throughout Algebra 2. I found it to be like a puzzle; there was always an answer. There was no need to stress over a problem. I only felt a tad OCD when it came to writing neatly. If it wasn’t fun, it seemed a good way to pass the time. I also had an A+ in Psychology but this teacher awarded points just for being in class or for watching the day’s video. I found it interesting and I left feeling as though I had learned something. I loved my Anatomy and Physiology class in HS! (though it may have to do with the crush I had on the teacher). It was my favorite class and I found the workings of the body pretty interesting and easy to understand. I even purchased my own Anatomy and Physio book. I loved my Biology course in Fresh year of college(though it was with the best professor in the Uni and it was a non-majors Bio course). I love studying the workings of the body and considered going into medicine…but I dislike visiting hospitals(they’re scary) and I’m uneasy around sick people(mostly vomiting). I have always hated history and politics…I want nothing to do with either.

I am shy, but I am not quiet. Once I am comfortable, I am probably the loudest one in the group. I love to act silly and am the center of attention(again, only when I am comfortable) If I don’t get comfortable, I don’t do so well socially.

I love kids. I always spent time with the young children at family gatherings. I volunteered with 3-4 year old children once a week for a year while in HS and visited an after-school program at an Elementary School for a couple of days(I found I loved the 1-2 graders). I am currently pursuing an Elementary Ed major, though, as this post suggests, I’m not entirely positive it’s the career for me. I am interested in earning a little more money for leisure purposes and would love to live in or near a city. Teachers don’t earn much at all. I also fear that I will enter the classroom and my students or my supervisor would not like me at all or would not agree with the way I interact with/teach my students. I don’t do well performing speeches or presenting in front of an audience. But I feel more comfortable in front of children. I don’t think I would have a problem with a classroom of children but worry about having the principal or parents watching me. Also, with an Elementary Ed major, teaching is the only way to go. If teaching didn’t work out, I would be screwed.

My job will not be my number one priority in life! That is very important. I don’t want to work 12 hours a day. A family and my love(when I find one lol) will be my number one priority. I want to travel. I want a nice, large place to live. I am also one who wants all the new cool things that are out on the market…I can’t help it.

Wow. You sound exactly like me. I mean, right down to the classes you excelled at in high school, wanting to live in/near a city, and the uneasiness around sick people.

I am a teacher. Like you, I enjoy learning and thought it would be a great career for me. Instead, I am now looking for a way out of teaching. These are the reasons I would steer you away from teaching, given what you’ve said:

1. You are a perfectionist and often don’t like giving the 140% needed to do a perfect job. Teaching is NEVER perfect. Never. A supervisor can come into my classroom and tell me that I’ve done a perfect job, and then the next day it won’t go so well and she’ll have lists and lists of things for me to improve. This has been one of the hardest parts of being a perfectionist and a teacher at the same time. The work is NEVER done. You will never be satisfied with your work and you will always be sad that others seem to be doing a better job AND having a better work/life balance than you are. Plus, there are "too many masters" in teaching. That is to say, there are too many people to please….you have to please the administration, the students, the parents….and they all want different things from you.

2. You are right, teaching doesn’t make a lot of money, particularly for the work that you do.

3. If you are a perfectionist, it will be hard to deal with kids’ mistakes. I find that I am not nearly as patient of a person as I once was. I get a lot more frustrated than I ever imagined I would.

4. You don’t want to work 12 hours a day. As a teacher, you would.

I’m not saying that it would be a total mistake to do it, but I am telling you from my experience that I don’t recommend it if, as I think you are, you are like me. 1st and 2nd grade students may be different, though — I teach students in grades 5-8.

Like if you did something seriously wrong (i.e. making a scene in a crowded store and triggering several customer complaints) and she firmly decides to fire you, can begging make her change her mind? My friend did this at Burger King. Yelled at her boss in front of customers and now she is being fired. If she begged her boss to change her mind, would she?

No. Deciding to fire someone who breaches social and business protocol is necessary. If the boss didn’t fire your friend for this totally inappropriate behavior, she would fully open the business up to verbal abuse by all the employees. What is accepted for one becomes accepted behavior for all. More than likely she would lose customers who witnessed these outbursts. No one wants to pay for a good or service and be forced to see or hear what you described. Kudos to the boss for setting boundaries and sticking to them. Firm means firm. Period.

I don’t know about everyone else, but the current Dibiase gimmick isn’t working for me. Here’s an idea of how to truly get him over.

Firstly Dibiase turns face. The WWE could air a series of ’secretely’ taped video of Dibiase. Him donating money to an orphanage, giving a substantial money to the poor, helping in charity concerts and other things. Then next week on RAW his father comes out and tell Dibiase to explain himself for squandering his hard earned money .

Dibiase says, "Father, I was helping them. I just can’t stand to see them suffer while I’m living a grand life. Father, we’ve more than enough money to live like kings, so what’s the harm in sharing a bit of it?"

Ted Senior than looses it, and scolds him where did he get such a ridiculous idea. Then orders him to stop but Ted disobeys…Then Dibiase Senior books him in a series of handicap matches in hoping that his baby boy snaps out of it. But after everything Ted refuses and during all those weeks he has been continuously donating his money.

Then Dibiase Sr then has enough and disowns him. As he leaves Ted grabs a mike and says

"Fine! If you want to be as cold hearted as the gold in your bank, then FINE! I’ll earn my own money! And with that money, unlike you, I’ll make this world a better place."

Ted will struggle at first and then his meteoric rise shall begin after he wins the US championship in an upset victory. He’ll win matches and help the poor. He’ll gain respect from the faces and he’ll constantly feud with the heels that denounce the unfortunate.

As time will pass and as Ted will get richer and after winning the World Title it’ll be a momentous occasion, but as he gets more and more accolades he’ll get greedier and more corrupt. He’ll eventually turn on the people who supported him and then he’ll feud with a faces who’ll stand up for them. At the end of those lengthy feuds, Dibiase will realize the error of his ways, not in a corny way though, but slowly and eventually.And he’ll get back to helping the poor once again.

This storyline isn’t going to take place in months or weeks. This is a storyline the duration of which will be years.

So what do you think?
Chad, those are fantastic ideas. Yes Maryse could be the one who tapes what Ted is doing and she is extremely mad. And in the series of Handicap matches, they can bring in wrestlers for a one night only contract along with the current roster. Would be awesome if they bring Golberg.

And that’d be sick if Cody gets involved and Maryse runs off with him after Ted Dibiase is disowned.And by sick I mean awesome.

And yes the face he’d feud with will be his best friend who will help him during his feuds and will hold the Unified Tag titles together. His name is Kofi Kingston.

A few questions here. First, where is Maryse in all of this? Perhaps she is the one who had DiBiase, Jr. secretly taped as proof to offer to his father. Maryse is outraged that Ted is donating these generous sums of money to the needy, rather than spending it on extravagant gifts for her. Second, who are the guys that DiBiase, Sr. brings in to knock some sense in to his son? "The Million Dollar Man" has deep pockets and a lot of connections to the wrestling world, so maybe he could bring in outside help instead of relying solely on the current WWE roster. I could definitely see Cody Rhodes get involved in this, and even be the guy that Maryse runs off with. When DiBiase, Jr. wins his World Title and turns heel, who is the face that he goes to war with and eventually sides with? HBK, Randy Orton, John Cena, John Morrison? Could Ted, Sr. bring his other sons in to this feud?

Example: Let’s say you were just walking, a bus hits you, and you die. Your boss visits your funeral, and he says to you that you’re fired from your job. Can your boss fire you cause you just died from a bus accident, yes or no?

BQ: First person to guess where I got the joke from gets 10 points
Hint: I got the joke from a t.v. show

I would almost expect my boss to fire me after I get hit by a bus.

You couldn’t possibly ever know under what circumstances a person comes to be in this situation, could you ?
Wouldn’t it be a better idea to make welfare more of a plan for the future than a way to become dependent on the system ?
In Connecticut, where I live, before you can even apply for assistance you must go classes in what’s called the "Jobs first" program. After which you must put in certain hours a week looking for a job and complete a certain number of applications as well. There are certain exemptions, but not many qualify. They also pay the majority of your daycare so you CAN go back to work, or go to school and get a degree. What alot of people don’t seem to understand is just how ridiculous day care cost are. It would cost me in excess of $500.00 a week, not to mention gas, lunch, and car repairs. Even if I am college educated, this is a HUGE chunk of money to shell out simply to be able to go to work and earn a living. Even if you’re making $12.00 an hour, which is not going to happen unless you have some sort of training or schooling, that’s only $480.00 a week. You’re still $20.00 short for daycare. Now you have to figure out how you’re going to pay your rent and eat and you say f*ck it, I give up. If you were to get a second job, you would never see your children.
For those of you who will say she should have thought of that before she got pregnant I say that most of us usually expect the men to stick around but they just don’t always do that, not all women intend on raising their children alone you know ? Then the women end up paying 100% of their income to take care of their children while the men are giving up only (in CT) up to 28% of theirs. How does that work ? I myself am not on welfare, but my husband died of cancer 3+ years ago he was 41 and our daughters were only 2 & 3. Do you think I was planning on being alone with 2 children ? No, I was not, nor was I prepared. Thank goodness for Social Security or we would have been homeless and starving to trying to get help while the rich people were trying to keep it from us. Would we have been asking for handouts as well ? Could you look my daughters in the eye and tell them it’s their mothers fault they can’t eat because she should have just ran out and gotten a job asap ? I certainly hope not.
You say we all could work harder in school, get a scholarship and go to college just like you. Is that truly a reality ? I wonder if it were 90% of kids whole work hard their entire lives to do their very best because they want to do something with their lives, would there really be enough scholarships to send them all ? How many would have to be turned away after such a struggle ? The point is that the ratio of students to the amount of scholarships given each year is preposterous. Where would the government get that money from ? Maybe if we weren’t dropping billions and billions into Iraq we could manage to concentrate on our own people and their future well-being, instead of taking it away from struggling mothers . They are either going to need help with the cost of living, help with daycare, or help with college, so you are going to need to give it up one way or the other. I am sorry, but the reality is that it’s just not possible for some people to make ends meet with all we need to live minimally comfortably.
I realize welfare fraud is rampant, ruining it for those truly in need. Maybe we should concentrate on those people instead.
Let me also just say that there ARE no jobs to be had for alot of people, but thank goodness for the uneducated, or who would be making your latte’s for you, mowing your lawn, cleaning your houses, etc…..
Philip: I don’t live in Virginia, I live in Connecticut, the highest per capita state in the country, and no, I’m not willing to move to afford daycare. It should be made more affordable instead. Also most people have more than one child in daycare, so multiply your 150.00 by 3 and do the math.
Not everyone HAS family. You people seem to think that we all have exactly the same resources and opportunities when it’s just not a reality.

Agreed. And the bigger problem is the lack of education a lot of the people born into welfare are getting about how to live normal and productive lives apart from the system. All that they’ve seen in a check coming from the government. They aren’t encouraged to get jobs in a lot of cases, until they turn 18. At that point, they’ve seen nothing but people working the system so that they never have to get a job! Their cousin working the fryer at McDonald’s is the responsible one from their family that "made it". We need to spend the money on similar programs to the one that you write about having in Conn. If people know how to get jobs, and more importantly that they have to have a job, then they are more likely to not only get out of the system, but to be an example to those around them of how to get out of the system.

So, I’m 13 going to high school this year in August. I want to open my own businesses and I want to invest in things like the stock market. I’m already earning money online use stuff like Google Adsense and ordering stuff online, getting checks in the mail things like that. But I want to do more, and I want to start while I’m young. Because when I’m eighteen, I’m planning to move to New York, New York and live in a loft, property of my own. I don’t want to rent anything and I really am striving to be financially empowered. The thing is, since I’m so young, people really don’t listen to me. I mean, my parents do and that’s great and all but adults need to open their minds to the young because we have really good ideas. They do say that we are the future, but yet, some of them won’t even listen to us. My brother is 17, my other brother’s are 20 and 30. I told my 17-year-old brother my plan for the near future and all he said was "I said the same thing when I was your age". He acts like he’s been there, done that. He’s only 17. He’s not as consistent as I am. I want to go places, I wanna see the world! He’s very lazy, laid back - which is a good thing in some cases but the thing is I want to go places and I KNOW I can go places. I just want to start now and I need to know how the stock market works and I want to open up my own business and be able to live a luxury life, be financially empowered and NOT put my parents in a nursing-home. So…..if you’re an adult, and you’ve listened to me and thought through your answer please help me out
Props to you for having determination. You sound like me when i was young. Just make sure you work hard and go to a GOOD school. Top 50 school in the nation at least. Make sure you read read read. If you want to learn about the stock market…pick up a book and learn yourself.

I am 13(as you can see above) and I want to have a baby.

Don’t tell me I’m not ready, because I am.

I have enough money to raise it for about four years even if it has a disability and needs more care(I have been babysitting for three years and been saving every penny) and while using that money I will be earning more.

My parents said that if I ever had a baby while still living in their house they would help take care of it.

I won’t be "throwing my life away" as I never do anything with friends unless they come over( which rarely happens).

I am already taking college classes, so I will be able to get a job later in life to support the child.

I know how to take care of it as I have been babysitting for children 3 and under for three years.

I have picked out everything the baby will need for the first year of its life (the total comes up to 861.40)

I know that I will have to wake up in the middle of the night multiple times as I have taken care of my friends baby for 1 month when she was in the hospital.

I have read multiple articles on how to care for the baby and the risks of having it at my age.

I have read about being pregnant and how tired and cranky it makes you.

The only thing I am not sure about is how the pregnancy is. Please don’t tell me I am not ready or that I should not do this because you don’t know me. I am 100% ready for this baby.

My only questions are:

1. What is it like to be pregnant?
2. How do you sleep while pregnant(what position)
3. What do you eat?
4. How often do you have to go to the doctor/
5. What is it like going into labor?
6. What do the contractions feel like?
7. How can I tell my parents I am pregnant?
8. How long do you stay in the hospital after the baby is born?

Thank you(:
And please, give as long as an answer as you can with as much detail, this is very important to me.
the 861.40 was the FURNITURE!! I understand that you misread, but it was my fault for not putting enough detail. I apologize. I know it will cost very much for the baby, but I have been babysitting( I receive about 200 every month) I have holiday money( I have a small family and most of my relatives are rather wealthy and I get about 300 every holiday and about 500 on my birthday) I have a debit care with over 1000 on it, and I plan on babysitting until the baby comes, if I decide to have it. I am in high school and will be graduating in about three years. Then I will be in college for about a year, so I will be done with school at the age of 17. At 16 I will get a job, it won’t be the best job but it will be a salary. When I graduate I will get a better job. As for the care of my child while I am attending classes, my school has a program where the nurse will take care of your children at the school while you are in class as long as you have all B’s or above, I have an all A average.
And as for the risks thing, I was just saying that I understood that there were risks. And yes, I hav gone through puberty(when I was 10 I got my menstrual cycle).

Also, I don’t really have a life as a teenage at school. I have three friends, nobody else really talks to me except for the male population at the school. I do not intend to brag or anything, but I am considered quite pretty.

What about high school? what happens after the 4 years? any job you get without an education is going to be low income. No thirteen year old, no matter how much they may think otherwise, is ready to have a baby.
