Laws about PAYCHECKS..in ?
So...every week I am supposed to get my paycheck on a Friday...I work at a hotel in Okeechobee, and the owner lives in Wellington, 1hour and a half away. The manager faxes him payroll on TIME every week, but he is to lazy to send his stuff on time. So some weeks I get my paycheck on saturday, on whenever Fedex shows up. It has even been as bad as 4 days...all because he is lazy and stupid. So my question is... IS there anything I can do to get him to realize hey...you need to send them on time...or find a different solution... Sometimes I have bills that need to be paid THAT day, and I can't pay it b/c he didn't send the checks. Who pays the late fee??? So I have spoken with the manager and she has spoken to the owner.. when the manager gets payroll which is on a wed. as soon as she gets it she faxes it to the owner...his response it well they need to get it to me faster. he has two days to get the checks there...and dosn't care if they get there on time or not. He basicly said well the employees that can't wait should just be replaced. I was very fortunate to fnd this job..it's a shitty one, but in the small town I live in I was lucky to find this. I don't want to quit and I have been looking for another job but no one is hiring....Is he breaking a law?

1 :
You can write your employer a letter and POLITELY ask him to set a specific day of the week that his employees can be assured that their paychecks will arrive or be deposited directly into their checking accounts. Don't be sarcastic or whinney about it. It would also help if you could get all or most of the people in your workplace to sign it also...so the employer would know that all have the same feelings and concerns.
2 :
I understand it's not easy but you need another job with the economy the way it is things will just get worse.
3 :
As an employer, he is obligated by federal standards and Florida employment law to 1. designate specific pay days and 2. pay his employees on those specific days. (or earlier if the paydate falls on a holiday or day when the business isn't open) Since it is a hotel, I'm sure it's open everyday. As far as what to do, that's hard because you don't want to piss him off even though what he is doing is wrong. Since you report directly to the manager, I would voice your concerns to the manager and let him/her deal with the owner. I would mention something along the lines of "as an employee, I need to be able to depend on receiving my checks on the designated paydays. Just like everyone else, I have bills that must be paid and when we don't get our checks on time, it results in late fees and delinquencies in my financial commitments. I'm not asking for anything unreasonable - it's only right for people to get paid when they are supposed to" I'm sure the manager isn't getting paid on time either and will understand your concerns. This will then place the burden on the manager to discuss the issue w/ the owner. In the interim, keep documentation of EVERYTHING (all dates when you weren't paid on time, record of your talk w/ the manager, etc.) If things do not improve, I would begin quietly looking for another job. When you leave that employer, file a complaint w/ the labor board in your state. The employer will be fined and you could possibly be reimbursed for lost time (the days when you should have had the check & weren't paid yet..) More than likely, they won't have your final check ready when they are supposed to - you get paid for that too.

4 :

I can't stand Twilight and I've never read Artemis Fowl. 4). I don't know..... 5). My title's not finalized yet. 6). That's a hard question. My top favorites are Avatar, Harry Potter 5, Megamind, Inception, National Treasure, and Toy Story 3 as of now. Deathly Hallows will probably become my new favorite in a couple weeks. 7).

5 :
1. Swedish Fish, Rice Krispie Treats and Coke. We have none of 'em at the house, so I'm craving all of them. 2. Thriller/mystery 3. Tie> Harry P and Percy J 4. I don't know... (Imma google the author you suggested later) 5. Don't have a title for it. So far it's 'Story I'm Writing'. 6. Harry P#5, Disturbia, Up or Wall-E. I love Wall-E. 7. Tom Welling or Ian Somerhadler. yum! 8. a new word- 'lasideboy- means weird lookin' girl'. 9. Mine is Heidi McGill: her story has more umph to it. She has more personality. 10. I'm a creative B*itch. State the real facts, or don't say anything at all. 11. I really don't know! I'm thinking realistic fiction... I gotta Google genre's really quick. 12. Kind of...
6 :
1. anything and everything. Alot of candy/sweets (I have a sweet tooth) :) luckily I have a fast metabolism or I'd be in trouble.... 2. Adventure. Anything that has the hero's going on an adventure, either through a fantasy land or just a spy action novel. I love reading about things that would never happen in real life. A hint of romance in the action is good. 3. Harry Potter, but just the first 4 books. They just got too complicated after that. 4. I read Gordon Korman alot in middle school (I'm in college now). I remember him fondly. He wrote 3 trilogies about teens in survival situations. 5. I haven't decided yet. I'm thinking about "Candles". What do you think? 6. Hum... thats hard. A toss up between Casanova(with Heath Ledger), Stardust, and the Back to the Future trilogies. 7. I'm not sure I have one. Maybe Heath Ledger (R.I.P), Micheal J. Fox, Vin Diesel, or Mark Walhburg. 8. One of my teen characters played a prank on his roommate (at boarding school) using pinecones. I thought it was funny. 9. Probably the roommate I mentioned above. (Not the one that played the prank, the other teen guy.) His name is Eric. He's tall, lanky, with brown hair and brown eyes. He does well in school but is worried about what to do after high school. 10. I don't even know. I haven't gotten to the angst-y part of my book yet. 11. Adventure/sci-fi/fantasy. It's set in the post-apolcatic future. Its sci-fi, but no aliens. Its also fantasy, but no mythological creatures. It's complicated. 12. You write better than alot of older teens. Good luck with your story!
7 :
1. I don't really eat much when I write, it just distracts me. If I do, it would just be a little bag of cheeze-its or something simple like that. What am I craving? Well, I couldn't eat ANYTHING today because of a dang dentist appointment, so right now I'm pretty much craving...food. God, I'm hungry. Okay, new topic. 2. Same here, I always read fantasy. 3. Again, same here. Percy vs. Harry is giving me a headache, too hard of a decision. 4. I really don't know. I usually read the popular, best-selling books, but Kaleb Nation's books sound interesting, I'll give him a try. 5. Victims of the Deep 6. I'm not much of a movie watcher, but I do love Disney (the old Disney, not the crap modern Disney), especially Beauty and the Beast (I know, dork alert). 7. Morgan Freeman, Johnny Depp, Tom Hanks, etc. None of them are cute really, I just love all their movies and the characters they play. 8. Hmm...I honestly don't have one for my book. I like yours though. =) 9. Woot! I freaking love this question! So a little about her: -17 years old -hair is a dull red, messily cut just below the ears -brown eyes -features relatively plain except for the burn marks on the side of her neck that she hides with a scarf -adopted when she was five and has lived there ever since -reserved and not very social -has flashbacks of a fire from her past that no one believes - some thinking she's mad - so she keeps them to herself -has a passion for the piano, but never plays around anyone, thinking it will show her as weak That was probably a little more detailed than you were asking, sorry 'bout that. =) 10."Killing yourself won't save her." 11. Fantasy-ish 12. Well I don't really count, since I already knew that from previous questions. =) Fun question! =)
8 :
1. I mostly drink juices or coco-cola :D But right now, it's 3:30 AM, so I'm not craving anything :P 2. Murder mysteries, fantasy and chic lit. But I only write mysteries. 3. Tie between Artemis Fowl and Harry Potter. 4. Hannah Moskovitz and Kody Keplinger. 5. Ashes of Vengeance. 6. Casablanca, Grease and Chicago among others. 7. Looks wise-Ian Somerhalder or Neil Patrick Harris. In general-Joseph Gordon Lewitt is a new favourite. 8. It had something to do with unicorns and my cousin...approximately 11 years ago. 9. Logan Wilson--CIA agent. 10. This is from my previous story: "I will always be grateful to that bag of rice." It makes more sense in the story and it's based on a very wonderful, personal experience. 11. Adventure/Mystery. It's a gray area. 12. Should I be?
9 :
1. I actually try not to eat while I write. But I'll eat before I write. Munching on pretzels or crackers. Stuff like that. 2. Fantasy is my favorite genre. 3. Twilight - totally. Haha. You know I mean to say Harry Potter ;) 4. I don't know too many (none) young authors, so I can't formulate an answer. 5. Actually, I'm writing 3 books right now that I'm focusing on one chapter at a time for each. I'll pick one. "Burn All Magic" 6. Favorite movie? I have seen enough to give a good answer. I might say Titanic since I have seen it so many times, but I'm not sure. 7. WILL SMITH. WILL SMITH. WILL SMITH. That man is a hunk of comedy. My heart laughs for him. haha, I sound like a fangirl. Actually, I just really love his acting. He can play a variety of roles. And only a good actor can do that. 8. "JaJuJa" - "Jasmine, Jupiter, Jade". They're triplets. The phrase "JaJuJa" is actually never mentioned in my writing. Just something stupid I thought of. 9. Favorite character ever created? You're killing me. Characters are 1 of the main reasons why I write. Well, perhaps this one character named Bethany Armstrong. 10. Probably the most meaningful is "Her shoes were flat and her feet were flat" because it suggests she does a lot of traveling and she is not so well to do. 11. Fantasy. 12. I thought you might have been like 28 when I first saw you on here. Than I saw you more and I thought maybe 18-20. 13 is a bit of a difference, so yeah, a tiny bit!
10 :
1. I eat these things called baozi. They're dumplings stuffed with deliciousness. I'm craving something... sweet. Like cherries. 2. Tragedy. 3. Harry Potter. 4. Mmm, I'm not sure. I don't really know any young authors. 5. Porcelain 6. Leon: The Professional, Guns and Talks, or Secret. I like a lot of movies, so I don't think I can say that I have a favourite. 7. Uh... Hm... Rainie Yang. 8. I don't write anything funny, really. 9. Jayden Wong or Abel Cain. 10. "He died that morning." 11. Tragedy. 12. No. I don't care about ages. Besides, that's like saying "are you surprised that I'm twenty-two" even though it's stated on my page. |:
11 :
1) I eat sugary things when I write and I'm not craving anything right now; I just ate dinner. 2) My favorite genre is also fantasy, though I have a soft spot for science fiction too. 3) I tie between Percy Jackson and Harry Potter too. I liked them both for different reasons. 4) Isobelle Carmody. She wrote this book called "Alyzon Whitestarr" and it was fantastic, but I don't think it made that much of a splash when it was published in the US. It did in Australia (somewhat), but not here. It should have. 5) Puppetmaster. It's my NaNoWriMo novel. 6) Dreamgirls, without a doubt. 7) I don't think I have a favorite actor. 8) The Emo Hallway. It was for a parody I wrote of vampire books. With so many emo-seeming people storming their way into the genre, the ones I included in the story needed their own hallway in the school to do their emo-ing in. 9) Bellflower "Belle" Constantine, a supporting character in ANOTHER story. (I have about twenty in storage that I started, stopped, and plan to finish one day; I only have three that I'm actively working on.) She can sense emotions and teleport (it's a superperson story, just roll with it) and I just love her hippy-dippy name and chilled-out vibe. Before I even had her role planned out, I knew she would be in the book. 10) (From Puppetmaster): "Then don't dance." (It's out of context, so it will need some explaining. This is said to the main character, who loves to dance and is being kept from doing so by the person who says this, the antagonist that is obsessed with her. I'm sure you can figure out the deeper meaning to this.) 11) (Puppetmaster): Contemporary young adult fiction/suspense. 12) It doesn't surprise me that much. Teens have a big presence on Y!A. I should know--I'm sixteen and I've seen so many teens around here!
12 :
1) I don't usually eat anything while writing because I'd probably get my keyboard all sticky. But I usually have a cup of ginger tea. Right now I'm not craving anything because I feel kind of sick. 2) Drama, sometimes fantasy as long as it isn't crappy, and sometimes crime fiction. 3) Definitely Harry. 4) I'll have to say Nathaniel Rich. 5) It's called "Lilac". 6) The Prestige, Labyrinth, 1408. 7) Robert Downey Jr. He's awesome. 8) Nothing really, my novel isn't supposed to be funny... 9) Eliott Rye, the cynical, socially-awkward photographer with a passion for philosophy. 10) "I've been seeing him everywhere." 11) Drama/Mystery. 12) No. I'd be surprised if you were 46 though.
Helloooooo....Anyway, here it is: 1) What do you eat when you write? What are you craving right now? ME: I'm eating a brownie. And some chocolate milk. 2) What's your favorite genre?

The phrase "JaJuJa" is actually never mentioned in my writing. Just something stupid I thought of. 9. Favorite character ever created? You're killing me. Characters are 1 of the main reasons why I write. Well, perhaps this one character named Bethany Armstrong. 10. Probably the most meaningful is "Her shoes were flat and her feet were flat" because it suggests she does a lot of traveling and she is not so well to do. 11. Fantasy. 12. I thought you might have been like 28 when I first saw you on here. Than I saw you more and I thought maybe 18-20. 13 is a bit of a difference, so yeah, a tiny bit!
10 :
1. I eat these things called baozi. They're dumplings stuffed with deliciousness. I'm craving something... sweet. Like cherries. 2. Tragedy. 3. Harry Potter. 4. Mmm, I'm not sure. I don't really know any young authors. 5. Porcelain 6. Leon: The Professional, Guns and Talks, or Secret. I like a lot of movies, so I don't think I can say that I have a favourite. 7. Uh... Hm... Rainie Yang. 8. I don't write anything funny, really. 9. Jayden Wong or Abel Cain. 10. "He died that morning." 11. Tragedy. 12. No. I don't care about ages. Besides, that's like saying "are you surprised that I'm twenty-two" even though it's stated on my page. |:
11 :
1) I eat sugary things when I write and I'm not craving anything right now; I just ate dinner. 2) My favorite genre is also fantasy, though I have a soft spot for science fiction too. 3) I tie between Percy Jackson and Harry Potter too. I liked them both for different reasons. 4) Isobelle Carmody. She wrote this book called "Alyzon Whitestarr" and it was fantastic, but I don't think it made that much of a splash when it was published in the US. It did in Australia (somewhat), but not here. It should have. 5) Puppetmaster. It's my NaNoWriMo novel. 6) Dreamgirls, without a doubt. 7) I don't think I have a favorite actor. 8) The Emo Hallway. It was for a parody I wrote of vampire books. With so many emo-seeming people storming their way into the genre, the ones I included in the story needed their own hallway in the school to do their emo-ing in. 9) Bellflower "Belle" Constantine, a supporting character in ANOTHER story. (I have about twenty in storage that I started, stopped, and plan to finish one day; I only have three that I'm actively working on.) She can sense emotions and teleport (it's a superperson story, just roll with it) and I just love her hippy-dippy name and chilled-out vibe. Before I even had her role planned out, I knew she would be in the book. 10) (From Puppetmaster): "Then don't dance." (It's out of context, so it will need some explaining. This is said to the main character, who loves to dance and is being kept from doing so by the person who says this, the antagonist that is obsessed with her. I'm sure you can figure out the deeper meaning to this.) 11) (Puppetmaster): Contemporary young adult fiction/suspense. 12) It doesn't surprise me that much. Teens have a big presence on Y!A. I should know--I'm sixteen and I've seen so many teens around here!
12 :
1) I don't usually eat anything while writing because I'd probably get my keyboard all sticky. But I usually have a cup of ginger tea. Right now I'm not craving anything because I feel kind of sick. 2) Drama, sometimes fantasy as long as it isn't crappy, and sometimes crime fiction. 3) Definitely Harry. 4) I'll have to say Nathaniel Rich. 5) It's called "Lilac". 6) The Prestige, Labyrinth, 1408. 7) Robert Downey Jr. He's awesome. 8) Nothing really, my novel isn't supposed to be funny... 9) Eliott Rye, the cynical, socially-awkward photographer with a passion for philosophy. 10) "I've been seeing him everywhere." 11) Drama/Mystery. 12) No. I'd be surprised if you were 46 though.

But they didn't do that. All time I receive around 24 -26 hours, My average hour is 24 for all summer, I need to pay for my room, food, transport from my home to work... I was trying to talk with manager Lou Panico, He promise me 38 hour, but just promise, He don't do that. Other students have 40 - 36 - 37 hour. Another work people in that store ask me do you work part time? But I must work Full time. I don't know what to do.

Thank you Very Much!!! Ruslan Petryshyn, Atlantic City.

America is free country which means that they can hire who they want and how many hours they want you to work... If your employer finds out that you posted this on the internet with your full name you will probably be fired so if I were you I would remove this immediately.
2 :
First, America is NOT such a free country, but it IS a country where people have many opportunities legally to fight for freedom. Oftentimes freedom is not given to you on a plate; you have to fight for your rights because there are a lot of bad people around in positions of power. Contact a lawyer. Free legal services are available at: http://www.usattorneylegalservices.com/free-legal-aid-New-Jersey.html You can also contact the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission http://www.eeoc.gov/field/newyork/charge.cfm Good luck.

There is a lot about life that isn't fair, but complaining will not get you anywhere. In fact complaining is a sure way to lose your job. In New Jersey, employees are presumed to be "at will." At-will employees may be terminated for any reason, so long as it's not illegal. At-will employment is a doctrine of American law that defines an employment relationship in which either party can break the relationship with no liability, provided there was no express contract for a definite term governing the employment relationship and that the employer does not belong to a collective bargain (i.e., has not recognized a union). Under this legal doctrine: “any hiring is presumed to be "at will"; that is, the employer is free to discharge individuals "for good cause, or bad cause, or no cause at all," and the employee is equally free to quit, strike, or otherwise cease work. In New Jersey, if an employer shows express proof that an employee is employed at-will, even an implied contract will not overcome the presumption of at-will employment. You are lucky to be working 24-26 hours a week. There are hundreds of thousands of Americans struggling to find a job. Your manager cannot give you more hours just because you need more money. The store is most likely having to cut back on employees and hours just like other businesses. You are free to look for a job somewhere else with more hours, however finding a full time job in this economy will be very difficult. I would not mention discrimination or you run the risk of losing your job.
4 :
You have the freedom to go work somewhere else for 40 hours or just work somewhere else for an additional 16.
5 :
They're not discriminating against you. This is very typical of grocery store employers.
6 :
In America...groceries bag you.
7 :
If you have a copy of the correspondence where the store " guaranteed" you a minimum of 30 hours per week at $8 dollars per hour, you could tell the manager that he is in violation of the contract and that he owes you for the back pay difference(30 hrs- 24hrs= 6 hrs per week). You could force payment through the labor board if necessary, however doing so would probably end your employment unless the contract also guaranteed a specific time period of employment.
8 :
Why would you put your full name address of the company your work for and manager's name on the internet for the whole world to see? Whether or not you are being discriminated against, which I don't think you are, this is totally unprofessional. If your employer saw this it would be cause for termination. Haven't you heard all the stories of people who lose their jobs for posting things on their facebook pages or other places on the internet? There are people all over the country who would kill for those 24-26 hours, maybe they are trying to work around your school schedule. Maybe they just don't have the money to give everybody 40 hrs a week. There are a lot of reasons you could be getting fewer hours than you thought most likely the horrible economy and the nature of working in grocery.

Charles Dickens was born on February 7 of 1812. Charles Dickens had a difficult family life when he was young, due to his father's imprisonment for debt. The rest of Charles' family (his 6 younger siblings, 1 older brother, and mother) went with him. Charles worked at a shoe factory to help support his family. Charles Dickens lived in a boarding house, and visited his family every Sunday. This experience had an enormous influence on him. Charles had a happy life before his father was in prison, but had been very dark when his father was in prison. These experiences influenced him write Oliver Twist in his later years. Once Charles Dickens dad had got out of jail, he sent Charles to Wellington House Academy in London as a day pupil. Charles Dickens had to leave after 3 years, because his family was evicted from their home (due to unpaid rent). Charles Dickens had then started to work off jobs such as, a clerk at a law office, a stenographer, a journalist, and a cartoonist. In 1833, at the age of 21, Charles Dickens had his first short story, and some of his sketches published in a magazine. 3 years later, at the age of 24, his first book was published (a collection of stories). The same year, he had married Catherine Hogarth, who was the daughter of the editor of the "Evening Chronicle." Once married, they traveled, and he started his own weekly journal, acted a bit, and published a number of books, including the famous "David Copperfield." Charles dickens had then later fell in love with another woman in 1857. Charles Dickens had then eventually left his wife to marry this woman. In the mid-1860's, Charles Dickens had gave a number of readings across the world. Charles Dickens had visited America twice, the first time he hated it; the second time, he fell in love with it. His adult life may have been stable in many ways, but his father was arrested again, and his family constantly turned to him for financial help. Charles Dickens had then died in June 9th 1870 due to a stroke, after a days writing of his unfinished novel Our Mutual Friend How can i tell if its copyrighted? Is there a website where i can paste this and they will tell me? no some kid on yahoo gave it to me and said its in his one words but i want to 100$ sure so i dont fail
