I want to study Employment Law via distant learning. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to which certification is best. I don't have any law certifications. Starting from scratch.
It depends what you want to do with it in the end. Employment Law isn't normally studied until MA level for those wishing to take the degree route.

Are you looking to work as a soliciter? HR Advisor?
If you want to practice employment law the traditional route of applying to university to undertake a law course, open univsersity do one via distance learning and i'm sure there are others then take an MA as an employment law specialist. If you are not ready academically for this you can do an A-Level in Law or a BTEC which should give you the enterance requirments.

If you are looking to go into HR side of things as a job then you will need to start with the CIPD Certificate in Personnel Practice which you can do distance from the CIPD website then onto the CIPD Diploma, then MA in HRM.

Hope this helps, if you let me know your aims of doing the course I will think about what is most appropriate..
Depends what you want to do with the qualification when you have it.
If you are a member of a union the TUC hold an employment law course that can be studied by distance learning or by day release at college and gives a very good insight into the basics. Its free if your member.
Look at their web site for more info.

Hope this help,

i was 15 when i got caught shoplifting after my friends persuaded me to steal in new-look, my friends stole to but they never got caught and it was me alone. i agree and i know what your thinking i deserve it right? but i really regret it and i seriously need a job. i remember the police guy told me that i had to pay a fine and i did and also i will get a shoplifting record and it wont be cleared until im 18 and yet im only 16 now! i was wondering if you could tell me what kind of jobs can i get at this rate ? please help me im troubled!
You can get a job, but it's very unlikely anyone would hire someone who's been convicted. You could always plead your case if you were lucky enough to get to an interview stage of a job but as most want detail on the application form you would generally be classed as untrustworthy. Harsh sadly as your obviously upset about what you've done. Talk to your local job center and see what may be an option for you, there are jobs out there for loads more people who were not just being young and stupid.

Good Luck.
Highly unlikely - and if you don't declare an unspent conviction you may be at risk of committing a further offence - obtaining a pecuniary advantage by deception (although in UK this was repealed/superseded by the Fraud Act)..

You should have thought about this before listening to your friends but hardly anyone does and so end up like you. There are plenty of jobs you can do - but I should put off any that involve handling money or the like (eg Royal Mail) or where honesty is a particular issue.

They should be able advise you about this as a job Centre.
Bit like putting a fox in charge of the chicken run is how they'd see it, even though you may never do itagain. All is not lost though: retail jobs vary a lot and there is a very good chance that they wouldn't check, a) because they have to pay for checks and b) because basic retail jobs do not pay tha much to justify it.
mowing lawns. and trust me everybody does dumb stuff when they are young, it's on your record but when they look at how old you were they'll just see how you were young and stupid like we all are at that age.
I doubt it, you are a liability now, so i doubt any retail stores would hire you…sorry.
No retailer on Earth will hire you with that on your record. That is like hiring a bank robber to work in a bank vault!
If your in the UK, and didnt go to court then it sounds like to me that you have a caution that will not show up on any records and you do not legally have to tell any employer. years ago when i was around your age i broke into a security hut and stole a security guards uniform, and was caught…obviously i am aware now how stupid i was. i was given a caution that included a fine and was told a caution lasted three years, where if i did anything else during that time then i would get a criminal record. If that was your first offence then i would put my money on you NOT having a criminal record.
Hello.

I'm sorry to read of your problems and of the many unhelpful answers that have resulted from your question.

My approach is a little different but long-winded. The link below will take you to the Citizens Advice Bureau for the U.K. I would suggest you might like to take a look around their website to see if it covers matters like shoplifting, punishments and work. If not, I would like to suggest you ring them and discuss your problem with them in confidence. Here's the link:-

I would further suggest you may like to contact the Connexions organisations in respect of young people at the link below:-

I do hope either of these links will be able to answer your questions and give you the right advice that you seek.

All the very best for the future.

In 2007 I had a 30 day overdue payment on my first credit card. I have not messed up since, but it is not scheduled to go back into positive status until 2014. I think that is a little harsh. Is there a way to get them to put it into positive status sooner than that?
Negative information stays on your credit report for 7 years. You can't change that. However, its impact on your credit score diminishes as time goes by especially if your history's been good ever since. Missed credit card payments happen. You can't make yourself crazy over it.
I agree with Al. If it is over 2 years old then it has a minimal impact on your score. Lenders who personally review your credit report will still view it as a negative. Have you contacted the issuing bank and asked them politely to remove the late payment. If you are a good customer they will sometimes work with you.
the further you get away from the negative information the less weight it carries. a 30 day on a CC 2 years ago is a completely different beast from one that just happened. I wouldn't lose any sleep over a 2 year old CC 30 day.
hello

as long as within 2 months you are paying your debt you will be safe.
It will stay on your credit record for about 7 1/2 years - you can't "delete" it. But as time goes on, it affects your credit score less and less. Just keep making your payments on time.

After this job ends, will I be able to continue where i left off with my original unemployment claim?

I am collecting through New York State, and am wondering if I should take the job knowing that I will be released at the end of the holiday season.
Continue to file, you might still get some benefits, and yes, you can continue, as teh job would end at no fault of your own. You can walk into any UI office, (most states call them the state workforce office, the one that gives you classes and gives you jobs to go apply for) and they can advise you on how it will affect you. BUt remember, if they hear theres a job you could take and turn down, your busted and will lose benefits. You can go in and ask, wow I see all these great sounding jobs that last 2 months, and ask, if I dont get hired will UI still help me, and say Im on my way to apply now, and then your covered.

Would you have to work for a specific amount of time in Florida and if you got laid off could you collect unemployment benefits from Nevada?
Quitting your job makes you ineligible for unemployment. So no, you cannot collect UI. You will have to work in Florida for at least 6 months to be eligible for any UI, at least a year for full UI benefits.
If you were actually laid off or fired from your job in Nevada then I would say probably you could. I don't know if you have to apply through Nevada or Florida to get it though.

Now if you Quit then the answer is probably no. I think there is sometimes exceptions to the rule such as if you had to quit due to a medical reason. But otherwise if you quit then it is probably no.

I did a freelance job for a Bride. She was pleased with the work my partner and I did, but the Bridesmaid was not.

The bridesmaid then demanded a full refund (we charged the Bride $120). Since we were advised from our school we were legally in the right, we did not grant her wish.

Now, the Bride has contacted me saying she is going to fill out a 1099 tax form that will some how force me to pay her the $120. Now, she only has my name and cell phone number, not address. So I'm wondering two things:

1) Can this tax form force me to give her the refund?

2)Can she fill out this tax form without my contact information? (Boils down to me, if the IRS doesn't know where I am, how will they bill me?)

Thank you for your help
1. Since the wedding was clearly not part of HER ordinary business, a Form 1099 would not be necessary. All that it does is serve notice upon you and the IRS that you received some amount of money. Assuming that you are showing that income on your tax return you have nothing to fear.

2. If she tries to file a Form 1099 without your SSN on it, the IRS will stick her with a $50 penalty unless she can show evidence of her due diligence in securing your name, address, and SSN.

3. Filing a Form 1099 does not create any liability to you to refund any money. It's just a record of an amount of money paid to you. The purpose is to ensure that you report the income AND to give the payer the evidence necessary to deduct the cost. (And that is why you don't prepare a Form 1099 for non-business expenditures, since there's nothing for you to deduct in the first place.)

My guess is that "Bridezilla" is taking tax advice form a Tax Moron. Let her stew in her ignorance. The only way that she can "force" you to refund the money is to sue you in Small Claims Court and win. For $120 that's not likely to happen, though she is free to do so if she chooses. Since the bridesmaid had no hand in the payment, she has no claim of any refund at all. Tell HER to eat rocks.
Hi,

i don't see how this tax form can force you to pay the $120. It is a form used to declare revenue.
The bride has no clue what she is talking about.
A 1099 form is used to declare income not request a refund. It is given to a freelancer who earned $600 or more in one year from the client. That's not you.
For the client to provide you with a 1099, you would have to provide them with a W9 which states your tax id number/social security number, address, and formal name. The way this works is the client asks you to complete a W9, you fill it out and return it to them.

The bride (not the bridesmaid) can take you to small claims court if she wanted to get her money back. Besides that, I don't see any recourse on her part.

Hi, I'm considering obtaining renter's insurance from Progressive underwritten by Homesite. I'm a college student, so obviously I may be moving soon. Will be able to cancel my policy before a full year?

I live in Illinois
Of course. Just give the agency a call and let them know you're cancelling it. If you are moving though, the renter's insurance can go with you - no point cancelling it if you will need it at the next place.

ps. If you pay the entire year in advance, and then you decide to cancel - you should be able to get back the unused premiums.
Yes, you can. But if your legal residence is your parent's, then you're automatically covered under their homeowners insurance, in most cases, while you are away at college.

If you are still on medical disability, no. To collect ui, you have to be able to work.
Once you able to work, you can apply and see what happens. Most likely you would not be eligible, but if your former employee does not question it, it would go through.
generally…NO
you lost the job because YOU were not able to work that makes the job loss your fault. to be eligible for unemployment you must have lost the job "through no fault of your own" .

you always have the option to file BUT don't expect to be eligible.

were suppose to live as a group we leave the building as a group. can they tell me that i have to wait until everyone has a ride, i dont think i should tell her what she can do . once were off the clock were on our time.
Unfortunately they make the rules, their moto(unspoken) is like it or leave. Just state your reason for leaving in your write up.
your boss can write you up because she does not like your behavior, wether u are on or off the clock.

your off the clock behaviour can be considered as a sign of insubordination.
Yes, so you simply think yourself. It's always been like that and that's the way it will odds are stay
