A key question is whether the federal government can produce any significant accomplishments during that time. This will largely depend on whether the president can forge a

In the current labor market, many employees are placed in employment through temporary agencies. There are many agencies in the local market including Labor Ready, Inc., and Manpower. If an employee is injured on the job that they have been placed into by a temporary agency, a question arises as to who is their employer. A recent Pennsylvania Superior Court decision was issued explaining this

Being in the staffing and recruiting industry for nearly 9 years, I never cease to be surprised by the reasons people quit their jobs, lose their jobs, or call off work (see "lose their jobs" for more information on this one).  Since every week I find myself saying at least once "well, there's a new one," I've decided to keep a journal of excuses and my reaction to them.   I'll post them here

SHARED-WORK PROGRAM In March 2012, Pennsylvania implemented a new Shared-Work Program. The Shared-Work program allows an employer to temporarily reduce the work hours of a group of employees as an alternative to a lay-off. Employees covered by the plan receive a percentage of their UC Weekly Benefit Amount, or WBA, while they work the reduced schedule, if they are otherwise eligible for UC.
