Question : Does an employee retain intellectual property of software made for their employer?
More directly, if you are employed by a company and write a program that is used by that company, does the company own it? Can the person that developed it copyright it? Would there need to be a clause in the employees contract that gave the company rights to the software? Is it possible that if a company employed a person that wrote software that was critical to the operation of the company, that the person could use the software against the company if any “bad” situation was to occur? Especially if the company had never thought to protect themselves from such an incident.

You are really beating about the bush on this one, aren’t you?!? Under most circumstances, the company that employs you owns computer programs developed for that company’s use while you were employed there. If the “company never thought to protect themselves” then they probably shouldn’t be in the business of computer programming. I can’t believe anyone would be that stupid.

Question : I told management that a employee was selling drugs to kids while on duty only after the mom of one of the?
kids came in yelling at me about. I warned management about it because she was going to show up the following day. I also felt that 30 complaints between 2 employees was something the new manager (1 year in position, I trained her) would want to know about. When I realised that she was sweeping it all under the rug I told her boss ,the guy that hired me 4 years before. I was the Rock Star as management called me but for reasons I can only say are jealousy because all the residents loved me, requested me for parties (I was a Facility Coordinator) and never was reprimanded before. I have been fired and the drug dealing employee and the 2 employees the Homeowner Association residents complained about still work there. I have even been denied unemployment beenfits and need to appeal it. How can I expose the BS. I loved my job and never did anything as unprofessional as the others yet I’m fired. Help! Give me statement samples to add to my appeal!

Sucks.

I’ve spoken with someone who was harassed by a man she worked with who would scratch on her window every night and say suggestive things to her with her 4 year old daughter there. She complained to her boss and was fired and was also denied unemployment benefits because the boss she complained to made up a story. These things happen to good people and the only way to fix it is to talk to a lawyer, first to get unemployment benefits, and then to levy a suit against the company.

Answer by Suzanne Rides
Eureka.org says that for General Maintenance and Repair Workers, entry level salary in California is $ 2,277 per month, average pay is $ 3,229, and top pay is $ 4,024 & up, according to the California Labor Market Information (LMI) Survey.

Nationally the entry level salary is $ 1,633, average is $ 2,683, and top pay is $ 4,328 & up, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

I’ve used Eureka.org a LOT to research careers and try to figure out what direction I want to head in with my education. The salary info that they provide in addition to other info really helps make life decisions because loving the work you do is important, but you also need to be able to afford a roof over your head and to be able to put food on the table.

I was able to get a free access code from my local community college, but it’s still worth it even if you have to pay for it.

Assume the injury is not due to my negligence or wrongdoing

That’s the company that I plan to hire.
Examples: The employee lifts something and injures his back, or he falls down the staircase while carrying a 300 lb treadmill.

Answer by rickinnocal
If one of their employees is injured as a direct result of your negligence or wrongdoing then yes, you could be found liable. This is a basic principle of tort law.

If one of them is injured because he drops your piano on his foot then no, you are not liable.

What would you do about an employee who cost your company $3000 in fines from the client?

Question : What would you do about an employee who cost your company 00 in fines from the client?
The admin asst where I work didn’t do her job properly so now our client is extremely pissed….so pissed they are ready to cancel their contract. She took too damn long doing her job (permits/inspections) and now the client is hitting us with $ 3000 in backcharges…$ 1500 for each failed inspection on 3 houses. So $ 1500 for house #1, $ 1500 for house #2 which passed but we’re getting backcharged anyway b/c she faxed over the wrong manual the 1st time. btw…I work for a residential contractor.
If you were the boss what would you have done about her?
She’s been w/ the company for 3 yrs & handling permits for 2 yrs so she has no excuse. She got lazy & dropped the ball. This isn’t the 1st time she screwed up. Last time was a different client 6 months ago and it cost the company $ 600. She claims the whole thing is a misunderstanding and miscommunication between the client, the city, and us. 2 subdivisions in this city…1 inspected by the city, the other by an engineering firm (claims she didn’t know about this until 2 days ago). She told the boss that she was scheduling all inspections with the city until the client suggested it would be better and faster for us to sched inspections with the engineering firm. So she started doing it that way. It was 5 WEEKS before she finally called the city! …and of course she claimed excuses…days off for vacation and to take dad to surgery.
Now she’s put in a request for vacation for all next week!! As the HR rep, I’m tempted to reject it. …but her boss is the vice president of the company.

Answer by John
I would look at her job description to be sure what she did is an offense punishable by termination and then I would fire her.

Or if you think it was a one time mistake, maybe give her another chance with a reprimand and no raise next year.

Question : Anyone know of any Mortgage companies that will refinance a part-time employee?
I am very disappointed with my mortgage company and since I work a part-time job, no one else will aid me in refinancing for a lower interest rate. My mortgage interest rate went up this year by 2% and as I know they will continue to increase every 3-6 months.
I went from 7.1% to 9.1%. I been at my part time job for a little over a year. I had plans to sell my home this year but early last year the day my sister passed, I was given a letter from my full time job that I am laid off and they were going to let me know 2 weeks from that date but since I had to take a leave, they gave it to me earlier. Have not worked a full time since. Can someone please provide some sound information for I am desperate and do not want to lose what has taken me ten years to keep.

Thanks
I live in Illinois. SO far I only had one company run my credit and they states that I am at 633, he also advise me to mention this to other lenders and I know not to release my soc. sec number. Since then I have paid off another bill so my score may be a bit higher.

Well, you’re going to have to make a very large decision before anything else:

Do you want to fight to keep what you have, or do you want to fight to get more?

If you want to fight to get more, sell the house asap and reinvest the proceeds.

If you want to fight to keep what you have, I work along with Primerica Financial Services. We can consolidate pretty much any loan under the Sun, and we only do fixed-rate loans and mortgages. If you’d like to talk, e-mail me at geeloeeloee@yahoo.com. My name’s Chris. And I’m only a part-time guy.

How to welcome a new employee to office

Many of us have been there one?? Every day hundreds of people walk into an office intimidating for her first day of work, while trying desperately to the sweat of their brow, which seeps out without wiping their frightening.

Start a new job is difficult, painful and frightening for people who do not like change and disorder. It is therefore important that all employers to make newcomers feel at ease as possible to try. A calm and collected an employee works much better than the agony of fear of a disturbance of the balance of personalities within the Office.

Also, if you want to achieve your goals and benefits of getting up, nice to the employees if they go through the door to your office and follow a few simple tips.

allow the existing staff know when a new employee on the verge of joining the company is. Inform them that they should be kind and respectful to the workers so that they get in the go-to move.

Ensure introduced the new recruits to the rest of the staff on the morning after their arrival. You can even have a staff to submit their first port of call if they experience minor problems, rather than given the position of their department heads. This will help to build friendships!

Train the new starter, but still full of questions put to them when they need a feeling?? they will be of no benefit to the economy if they aimlessly trot ignorance of their main tasks and roles.

After the first month, an evaluation report so that the employee to raise any other concerns, and you can tell about their abilities and their business success. The criticism can be included in the meeting, but make sure he put in a productive manner.

Keep this in mind and the work of the new employees from their first day at work this day, offices in Denver for the offices of Denmark will be grateful that the time to make their lives a little easier held.
