Further they attempt to avoid wage and hour regulations (eg overtime and meal breaks), liabilities for discrimination and wrongful termination, and also seek to avoid liability for the negligent acts of the independent contractors.

An employer who improperly categorizes an employee as an independent contractor faces severe penalties from the taxing authorities, and may be liable to the employee for such things as overtime pay, vacation pay, insurance payments or other benefits. Doing so is illegal, and many independent contractors may have claims against their employers for the improper characterization.

There are several factors to consider when determining whether or not a worker is actually an employee under the law and not an independent contract (regardless of what the employer calls them). Over the years a list of factors has been developed by the courts and the taxing authorities in determining whether or not a person is an ?employee? or an ?independent contract.? These factors are codified in the relevant statutes of many states. For example, The California Labor Code ?2750.5 provides in part:

Proof of independent contractor status includes satisfactory proof of these factors:

(a) That the individual has the right to control and discretion as to the manner of performance of the contract for services in that the result of the work and not the means by which it is accomplished is the primary factor bargained for.

(b) That the individual is customarily engaged in an independently established business.

(c) That the individual’s independent contractor status is bona fide and not a subterfuge to avoid employee status.

A bona fide independent contractor status is further evidenced by the presence of cumulative factors such as substantial investment other than personal services in the business, holding out to be in business for oneself, bargaining for a contract to complete a specific project for compensation by project rather than by time, control over the time and place the work is performed, supplying the tools or instrumentalities used in the work other than tools and instrumentalities normally and customarily provided by employees, hiring employees, performing work that is not ordinarily in the course of the principal’s work, performing work that requires a particular skill, holding a license pursuant to the Business and Professions Code, the intent by the parties that the work relationship is of an independent contractor status, or that the relationship is not severable or terminable at will by the principal but gives rise to an action for breach of contract.

The key questions to ask are:

Does the employer have the right to control the manner in which the work is completed?

Does the provide the tools and equipment for the job? (as opposed to the worker providing his or her own tools and equipment )

Is the worker prohibited from competing against the employer and/or working for other employers at the same time?

Is the worker paid by the hour or with a salary? (as opposed to being paid to complete a distinct project)

If the worker can answer some or all of the foregoing questions affirmatively, then that worker may very well be an employee entitled to all the rights of an employee.

In that statement we define our current belief. In every belief about our current situation we build our history and ultimately that history comes to this point?

To do or to die.

Take a look at nature. It is either growing or dying: every tree, every blade of grass, every insect, every animal and every human being is the same ? growing or dying.

If you find yourself habitually saying:

I don?t have the confidence instead of saying, I?ll try,

I can?t afford that, instead of saying, I?ll find a way,

I don?t have the time, instead of turning off the telly, or

Diets don?t work instead of finding one that does

Where are you heading?

Life without purpose is just misery and muddle.

This needs to be the debtors

net

income, i.e. the income that the debtor receives after their taxes have been deducted. Any other incomes that the debtor may receive also need to be calculated, e.g. any overtime, bonuses or commissions that do not form part of the net income, a part time job or any state benefits that may supplement the debtors income.

Once this figure has been calculated the next step is to analyse the debtor’s expenditure. All general living expenses need to be accounted for. Examples of things to include are rent and housing associated costs, food and clothing, travelling expenses, and an element of expenditure for sundries.

For sure, they have one or two names that they can think of or better, attorneys that they worked with before. This will ensure that you will be getting an attorney that somebody you know has already worked with and can therefore give a valid opinion about his credentials and capabilities.
Having worked with someone you know, at least you can be assured of their character and their commitment.

From the names given to you, you can then choose for the attorney that you think will best represent your interest in the legal case you are fighting for. This is very important as you will have the chance to choose from some of the best attorneys that you have.

Ask for references

Before hiring an attorney, you can ask for some references, people who will attest to their character. References may be clients who they have handled in the past or people who have had dealings with them. It is actually even better if clients are given as references, not only those who have won the cases but also those who lost.

I have seen many girls flourish in the Softball program, playing on traveling teams, and at the varsity level at our High School. Part of the success the girls have is due to the efforts of a handful of men and women who are the commissioners, coaches and administrators of these programs I would hate to think what my daughter?s life would be like if she was not playing softball. She loves that softball.

In the spirit of keeping the game going; I have seen them organize teams, balance schedules, and choose coaches. I have watched them scramble to find an umpire so the game could be played. I have seen them on the golf cart riding around – trying to locate the key that opens the shed, so the lights could be turned on for a night game.

Tolerate no distractions. A clear vision and passionate commitment to your priorities makes life simpler and you become incredibly attractive to those who share your vision. Clean up any distractions and serve your clients with absolute integrity and total commitment. People know when they are getting your best.

Always focus on what you want for your business in the months ahead. We don?t generally get everything we wish for in life, but being clear, focusing on the important rather than the convenient or the familiar, and being smart and working hard can take us further than we imagine. The clearer you are about what you want, the more likely you are to get it.

If you need some time alone, find someone to be with your loved one.

Change your behavior to fit your values:

For example, Clara felt guilty because her friend was in the hospital and she didn?t send a card. Her guilt propelled her to buy some beautiful blank cards to make it easier for her to drop a note the next time.

Ask for help:

Call a friend and say, ?I?m going through a hard time. Do you have a few minutes just to listen?? Have a family meeting and say, ?Our lives have been a lot different since grandma got sick. I?m spending more time with her. Let?s figure out together how we?ll get everything done.?

Revisit and reinvent the “Ideal You”:

You made the best choices based on your resources and knowledge at the time. As you look to the future, you can create a refined vision of the “Ideal You.” What legacy do you want to leave? What values do you hold dear? Then, when you wake up in the morning and put on your clothes, imagine dressing the “Ideal You.” Let this reinvented “Ideal You” make those moment-to-moment choices that create your legacy.

Understand that you will be a more effective caregiver when you care for the caregiver first.

quickly and without much or any advance warning, that could be all it takes to lose everything.

These are not the only ways you can lose the data that is stored on your computer. Most people think this will never happen
to them, it’s human nature. So what do we do? Nothing, which means you could lose everything. Disc recovery is an absolute
must to avoid these things from happening. Disc and Data Recovery is very easy to install and use and can be virtually self
maintaining. So why doesn’t everybody take advantage of data recovery? It could be the expense, but it doesn’t cost much,
more likely they just don’t understand the importance or simply don’t think about it at all until it’s too late. Data
recovery is quite possibly the most important thing for computer users. Don’t get caught without it!

Or, if you want the shade to cover more than the window, measure the height and width of the surface the shade will cover. Your shade will probably need to be between 45 and 54 inches wide.

Before you shop for your fabric, you?ll need to calculate the number of dowels and the amount of fabric you?ll need. To figure out how many dowels you will need, divide the window height by six to nine inches, which will be the space between each dowel fold. You?ll need to find a number that goes evenly into your window height. For example, if your window height is 64 inches, divide by six. You?ll then need eight dowels for eight pleats. Each dowel needs 1.5 inches, so multiplied by eight, you?ll need an extra 12 inches of fabric. You?ll also need an extra six inches of fabric to mount the shade, meaning you?ll need 18 extra inches for this example. Add this to your window height to get your final height. Add two inches of fabric to your window width. Now you have the size of the fabric you need. Whew!

Next, the fun part: selecting the fabric of your shade.

I like the idea of being tied directly to the hook and not needing to “feel” through the swivel.

One thing to be careful of is what happens when you hang up. For instance, if your weights become hung on the bottom between rocks and you pull hard on the line to free it, the Keepers might slide down the line. If this happens, you might want to move them up the line, cut off some line and retie the hook. This is because when the Keepers slide on the line, they can scrape and damage the line. Just be careful and check your line often.

I have never been the best at tying knots (or wanting to) and these eliminate that.
