When people are leaving a company or a position, often they are not sure how to write a resignation letter. Here are a few quick tips, and an example to help you. 1. A resignation letter follows the standard format and conventions of business and formal letters more generally. 2. Write in a similar way to how you'd write other formal correspondence, for example in the way you might write to your attorney. 3. It's great to add a touch of sincerity, if you can. Make sure it's genuine, and don't go overboard. A very brief heartfelt and positive comment is great (but if it's not sincere, just leave it out!) Here is an example of a good, professional resignation letter: [Date] [Your Address] [Recipient's...

Delivering a resignation letter to your current employer is where you really make your job change official. Once you have signed and returned your job offer letter and have received confirmation that it was received, you will be ready to get ready to put your resignation letter together. These days, it isn't uncommon for a less formal resignation, perhaps having a conversation with your boss to let them know you have found a new job and then maybe sending them a brief email so they have written confirmation that you have resigned. An official letter of resignation might not even be involved. Resigning from your current position can sometimes be a difficult task especially if you worked for an...

High blood glucose levels may be the first sign that you are sick or have an infection. The rise in blood glucose is due to hormonal changes, natural reactions of your body to help you feel better and fight an illness or infection. At these times you may not feel like eating. If you eat less or don't eat, you may think you should stop taking your diabetes medicine. Don't stop taking it. In fact, you may need more. Also you need to keep eating and drinking fluids. It is best to develop a plan for such times before they happen, so discuss this with your dietitian and doctor. Do call your doctor if you are unable to keep food down or you have ketones in your urine, or at any other time discussed with...

Keeping the kids entertained can seem like an impossible task sometimes, especially when they are down with a cold or a tummy bug and need to be kept indoors. Unable to run around or get messy, you're likely to have an unhappy child on your hands, especially when they are over the worst part of their illness. While you might wish you could sit and relax with your child while they are feeling unwell, the chances are that you won't be able to put a stop to your daily tasks forever - and that's when it becomes difficult to make sure your little one's illness isn't compounded by boredom. Luckily, modern entertainment technology means that there are options to keep young minds busy, even when they aren't...

If you are concerned about parasites, you will want to consider a parasite cleanse. Besides eliminating parasites from your body, a intestinal cleansing can also help to improve your digestion, clean your system, and help with any symptoms of constipation that you may be experiencing. When eating, tiny pieces of food stick to your intestinal walls. This food will actually start to rot inside of your body. This can cause diarrhea, irritable bowels, headaches, constipation, and weariness. A body parasite cleansing will eliminate this food build-up and help your digestion to work properly once again. After the colon parasitic cleanser, the human body will be better able to absorb the vitamins and...

In a job interview, it would be easier for me to admit that I am a recovering addict or ex-con (I am neither) than to reveal that I have Bipolar Disorder (which I do). Such is the stigma. And there have been a number of times when I have felt guilty for calling off sick after waking up in a nasty bipolar mood. But it need not be so. An employer has far more to lose by discriminating against a Bipolar employee, than does the employee by being open about his condition. Under Federal Law, people who have bipolar disorder have a legal right to disclose the disorder and request accommodations without fear of harassment, reduction in pay or benefits, or the loss of their job. "Under the Americans with...

If you are planning to quit working at your present place of employment, it is a good idea to write a letter of resignation. Whatever the reason is for you wanting to leave, the letter of resignation is a tangible thing that will remain in a filing cabinet long after you are gone. For this reason, you never want to write a letter of resignation while you are angry or upset. Sometimes circumstances will make this hard to do, and if that what applies in your case, just try as best you can to not write the letter in malice. Down the road, you might find yourself in a situation where you will need to do business with your old boss or your old company. Keep the letter professional. Regardless of how you...

The time has come--for reasons be known (or unknown) you've finally decided that it is time to transition on to new experiences and opportunities waiting for you. Now is the perfect time to resign from your present job before trotting along a new destination waiting on the other side of the bridge. Before one leaves their final footprints, do keep in mind of the following expectations regarding the resignation: - Do offer a two weeks' notice, if possible. Some companies require a two week notice as a courtesy while others do not. In some cases, there are employers that will let you walk out the same day or leave the final departure date to your discretion. Remember to be respectful of the employer's...

Income Protection is a valuable part of anyone's insurance program. When you depend on a personally generated income you can't afford to lose it, as a result of an illness or accident. There are some key features of income protection which need consideration. - Benefit period - Waiting period - Agreed Value OR Indemnity - Extended OR Basic Benefit Period This term refers to how long you will be paid if you are on claim. The standard benefit periods offered are: - 1 year - 2 years - 5 years - to age 55, 60 or age 65 There are a number of reasons why there are different periods: - Your occupation is a major factor. High risk occupations where this is a greater chance of claiming such as heavy manual...

The impact of stress in the workplace is a staggering $300,000,000! This is roughly $7,500 per employee, spent annually in the U.S. on stress-related compensation claims, reduced productivity, absenteeism, health insurance costs, direct medical expenses and employee turnover. Just reading that statistic can cause you stress! Because it doesn't show up as a line item number in the budget, companies are not addressing this very expensive issue. Time after time I watch companies concerned about improving the bottom line do exactly the opposite of what they should be doing. Someone decides they need to have fewer employees doing more work for the same pay in order to improve expenses because on paper...

MYOB have several different programs on the market to help businesses with their accounting and GST reporting requirements to suit the various stages of a business’s life cycle but which one would suit your business? MYOB constantly brings out upgrade versions of their top end products, either to make things easier for the end user or to keep up with the tax office requirements, ie updated tax tables for employee pays. Therefore, I would recommend you pick the program that suit’s your situation now, rather than what you might need in the future as all the MYOB products are fully upgradeable to the higher end product. For example, you could purchase Business Basics now but in 2 years time, you...

Encouraging results from recent studies indicate that probiotics may be beneficial in the prevention of contracting colds and flu, reducing the severity if contracted and boosting the immune system. The word "probiotic" comes from the Greek, "for life." These live microorganisms are "good" bacteria that promote growth of other microorganisms in the intestinal tract. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO) define probiotics as: "Live microorganisms, which when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host" Russian Nobel Prize winner Elie Metchnikoff noted during his work at the Pasteur Institute in the early twentieth...

Are you writing your resume and wondering how long it should be? A question often pondered is the following: "Is there a set limit to the number of resume pages for your CV"? Read on as I provide a guide for you to know exactly how long is too long and what is the perfect resume page limit? Firstly - Do Not Be Fooled By the Two Page Resume Rule Speaking with recruiters regularly they stress that a resume really has no official page limit set. The important thing to note is that it is the content and relevance that is important and the size will vary depending on your job history and age. Each job however, should be limited to approximately 100 words of content. Make sure you are specific with the...

The US is in the middle of a serious workforce change. Home-based businesses are now recognized as a viable source of new jobs. If it continues as expected, "the new American workplace" will be located in the spare bedroom or converted garage. It's no surprise then, that the home business movement of 2005 has received more attention from the "recession-that-isn't-a-recession" downturn. Today's laid off workers are not the blue-collar workers in manufacturing jobs; those have long since been shifted to China. Today, prized engineers and corporate Vice Presidents of such-and-such have been sent to the bone yard. Of course today we don't "lay off" our employees, we "down-size"; it seems to be a...

It is that time again; time to process your payroll. Why not make that headache go away and see what outsourcing your payroll can do for you. It does not matter rather your business is big or small hours can better be spent on the operational and financial aspect of it. Payroll itself can be time consuming, and with law as, changing on a regular basis in this difficult economic time this is just one more thing that you cannot afford to make mistakes that will cost you money. This is because so many factors play into it like; full-time hourly, part-time hourly, seasonal, salaried part-time, and the list keeps going. To top it all off you have vacation accruals and even bonuses to configure, not to...

Don't Let Your Termination Rattle You To ward off the negative feelings that come from a termination, it would be good to have a night out with friends and have a good time to release your anger and stress. You should be sure to be your usual self if you should happen to encounter your former boss. Avoid giving dirty looks and expressing your anger. If you run into co-workers, talk to them briefly, but take care that you do not discuss your being fired. It is necessary to portray strength and determination to tackle the situation instead of being weak and indecisive. Staying at home just watching TV is not good. Get active and get your life back on track. Start a Job Search Right Away Draw up a job...

This morning while I was in the shower I decided to run for president. Not president of the United States but President of Earth. At first I was going to call myself President of the World but since there is undoubtedly other forms of life out there, some of which might actually be more advanced than us, I decided to limit my jurisdiction to president of just this planet. Of course there are a few obstacles I'll need to overcome before I can officially be recognized as president. First, I'll need there to actually be a position called President of Earth but I think if I write my congressman that shouldn't be a problem. After all, our congressmen do read each of our letters and understand that if...

Although I spend most of my time evangelizing about the benefits of entrepreneurship, I do want to throw a little reality out there for those who may look at it only through rose-colored glasses. Here are ten reasons why you may NOT want to start your own business: #10: You can't blame your lame boss for your problems. As much as you might have complained about your boss or "Management" in your corporate job, you might find yourself missing the person who takes the heat for big decisions. Whichever success or failure your company experiences is squarely on your shoulders. #9: YOU are all the departments in your business. You must take care of product development, sales, marketing, accounting...

For any employer it is vitally important to have a comprehensive return to work form. The more staff you have though, the more vital it will become to the smooth running of your business. When an employee is away due to illness, bereavement or maternity/paternity, that time has to be properly accounted for. For extended periods of time you need to be sure that it is properly documented; to benefit both the company and the staff member. Of course this is something of a sensitive area, particularly when absence has been caused by more personal issues. Therefore, regardless of the situation, it is always best to treat any return to work situation with a certain amount of understanding. This extends...

Quitting one’s job can be a very delicate decision. There are various reasons why a person might want to leave his job. The most common reason is that one gets a better job and then leaves the job that he is currently in. Apart from this, relocation, bad relation with the boss or colleagues, change in profile, mental or physical issues could force a person to leave his job. Once you have made the decision that you want to call it quits, the next main question is how to do it. The way you resign is very crucial as it may make or mar your future prospects with the same employer and the same boss. The thumb rule while resigning is that one must never burn bridges behind. In professional journey, one...

Leaving an employer is a stressful situation whether you have been employed for a few days or many years. Whether the experience has been positive or negative, when it comes time to leave you must do it professionally. Writing a resignation letter could be one of the hardest letters you'll ever write. Many people leave a job with hostilities and hard feelings. Studies have shown that leaving a job can be almost as stressful as the breakup of a marriage. All this can lead to an emotionally charged feelings that we must be careful not to transfer to the written resignation letter. Professional sample resignation letters all have one thing in common. They are written in a business-like manner and...

If you are flexible and accommodating when making allowances for time off, your employees will strive to work WITH you, not AGAINST you! How many times have you answered the phone to hear underlings with obviously faked coughs assure you that they are REALLY, TRULY sick... when you know their excuses are contrived? Yes, such lies and deception can set you to fuming, but always remember that the best way to keep your employees coming to work is by making them WANT to come to work! You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, as the old saying goes, so be sure to encourage your workers with positive reinforcement rather than jumping straight to negative and punitive consequences when addressing...

Lots of injuries happen in the workplace and in fact nearly half of accidents that occur now happen in the workplace. It can feel difficult for employees to start a claim against their employers as many worry about the repercussions of doing so. All employers are legally obliged to have Employer's Liability Insurance which will cover them if one of their staff are injured whilst at work and action can be taken against employers who then discriminate against staff members for pursuing a compensation claim for injuries suffered whilst at work. There is a strong link between liability and negligence in law and health and safety laws in the work place are becoming more and stricter. The first step to...

It's all very easy for the average person to sail through life, getting the odd ache and pain that is associated with aging and not having too much to complain about. It is very easy for this average person to read through the papers and see compensation payouts to people who have had accidents or injuries at work and think these people have got it made. In what looks like one swift move, they've gone from sedentary office worker to sedentary couch potato with a huge payout for repetitive strain injury. However, this is a gross glossing over of the problem. DSE risk assessment is frequently being carried out in offices these days to try to minimise the chances of experiencing repetitive strain...

It seems today that more and more people are experiencing various illnesses than ever before. Although the quality of life has improved infinitely in the last hundred years and life expectancy has risen dramatically, unfortunately incidences of various serious illnesses have apparently risen along with that. This can be attributed to pollution, lifestyle, the standard of health care and any number of other factors, but it all points towards one thing - an increase importance of critical illness cover. Today, one in five men experience a critical illness before retirement age, with one in six women experiencing one. This could cause severe financial hardship for households that need a certain level...

Employee benefits are a crucial piece of getting quality employees to work for your small business. In most cases, the small business owner cannot afford to offer many benefits due to the cost to the small business owner. As a small business owner, you can offer some incentives to employees to get quality employees to work for you. 1. Hours of operation are critical to a small business. Youneed employee availability when your customers or potentialcustomers are available. However, you could offer youremployees flex time or reduced hours on Friday (the daymost folks would like to take off). You might post yourhours from 9-5, Monday through Thursday and 9-3 on Friday. The extra two hours off on Friday...

A lot of articles talk broadly about the overall benefits of corporate wellness programs for businesses, how they can save companies money while leading to higher employee productivity, job satisfaction, and morale. This article will only focus on specific statistics of corporate wellness programs, demonstrating thoroughly – in dollars, cents, and percentages – the great value corporate wellness programs bring to the companies that use them. First, a comprehensive review of more than 100 peer-reviewed studies of companies with health & wellness programs over the past three decades showed an average annual savings in healthcare costs of $358 per employee. Moreover, companies in these studies...

It is not just your home or your vehicle that you need to insure, you also need to insure yourself. While most people insure themselves in the event of death, you should be more concerned about insuring yourself while you are alive. An income protection plan will enable you to insure your income against illness or injury, paying a regular monthly income in the event that you cannot work. You need to have a regular income to sustain yourself and if something goes wrong with you and you are not in a position to work your health insurance policy will protect you. It is difficult enough to survive on your current salary - now imagine how much more difficult it would be without a salary coming in at all...

Everyone has a different idea about the perfect time to tell others that she is pregnant. Many women wait to tell anyone except their partner until after their first trimester, when the highest risk of miscarriage has passed. Others can't wait to share the news. At work, there's no perfect time to tell others. It's wise not to wait too long, especially if you have health issues or other complications to sort through with your supervisor. No matter when you break the news, consider the following tips:o Tell your boss personally. Your boss deserves to hear the news directly from you instead of overhearing it in the break room.o Watch out for potential conflicts. These days, it's illegal to withhold a...

You've found out that you are expecting, and along with the joy and anticipation that comes along with this news you are also wondering how you are going to break it to your boss. While you may be tickled pink at the arrival of a baby, your boss may be less enthusiastic about the news. Unfortunately, some bosses regard pregnancy as a liability and they do not want expecting mothers and new mothers to be on their staff. In fact, some women are shocked to find that they were suddenly let go from a position they had for years because they became pregnant. If you feel that you were unjustly fired from a job due to your pregnancy, or your boss told you they just couldn't handle the liability or maternity...

The open plan office was hailed as a revolution in buildings where many office workers had previously been segregated. They would, it was said, unite workers socially and make work easier, allowing more interaction and speedier results. It has often meant that offices could be constructed cheaply and quickly, keeping business flowing. Air conditioning was pumped in to keep the occupants cool and plants were installed to keep the air oxygenated. Well, it would seem from recent press reports that this is not so. Stress and raised blood pressure are apparently prevalent in open plan offices due to the pressure of other colleagues being able to see and hear every piece of work and every conversation...

Corporate training has been one of the most basic ways of getting more out of the staff you hire without having to go through the costs, both financially and time wise, of recruiting through advertisements. However, with businesses becoming more cautious and with many people always looking out for the best deal on wages, time off and sick pay, more and more companies have been wondering if corporate training is still the best way to go. With literally billions of pounds going into training people ever year for new job positions and with the great expansion of the European community, it is now much easier to find employees that will be able to carry out the job for you that already have the skills...

Being stressed and being sick, the old dilemma - which came first the chicken or the egg: you can't have one without the other. 1) Determine if you have sick time off allotted. Not getting paid while you are at home sick is a huge stress creation. Knowing you have say 24 hours of sick leave available. Also knowing that you must get a doctors ok to come back to work if you are out more them three days in a row, gives you an idea in advance on how to use your sick time wisely. There is no stress if you use this benefit sparingly and with common sense. Be aware to that some employers will dock you in your performance evaluation if you take too many "unexcused" sick days. 2) How sick are you? Would you...

As the biggest investment a business is likely to make is staff, any time lost to sickness can be costly. This cost must be measured not only in terms of lost production and sick pay, but also in terms of employee morale. Whenever an employee is off sick, there is a knock-on effect on those colleagues who have to cover. Recent reports have highlighted that sickness is costing British businesses up to £1.75 billion a year, or roughly £500 per employee. Although the problem is far worse in the public sector, the private sector is still averaging 6.5 days of sickness absence a year per employee. Improved management of a company's sickness absence could mean serious savings. Sickness...

This involves the calculation of amounts earned, the application of all deductions and the payment of net amounts due both to employees and Tax Collection Authorities.

Entrepreneur. The word scares some and excites others. If you are looking to quit your day job or have been laid off and want to pursue your big ideas now is the time.

So you have had an idea of how you can start a home based online business. Emmerson once said: "All I need is one idea." It worked for him and if you can come up with the right idea then it will work for you too. When you first get online you will see that there are millions of online business opportunities for the budding entrepreneur. The first lesson is to stay focused. Sure look and browse and investigate but when you have found a business venture that excites you, focus on it and don't be distracted by the other million opportunities. All in all most opportunities are only as good as the effort put into them by their owner so don't feel that you are missing out, just focus. This is not to say...

What or whose was the spirit that captivated Andrew Mason one dark and dreary night when he broke through the barrier surrounding three semi-derelict mills? It may sound like some sort of Edgar Allen Poe mystery but the notion that perhaps Henry Mason, who built Victoria Mills near Shipley in West Yorkshire back in the mid-19th century, somehow had an influence upon the restoration project is appealing. That Andrew Mason, Managing Director of Newmason Properties, should have taken on his wife's name when he married in 1993 cannot but add to that sense of positive fatalism. Henry Mason, Andrew Mason, Newmason and perhaps a stone mason or two seem to have conspired in a unique project worth an...

Small business health insurance plans cater to smaller businesses that have a little employee population. Most people who have smaller businesses find it hard to offer their employees medical plans due to the expensive quotes they encounter when looking for available options, especially since most employer-based plans are targeted at big companies. This is a big disadvantage since most people look forward to company benefits, especially health insurance plans. According to surveys, a considerable amount of businesses don't get insurance for their employees because of the expensive costs. This can prove disadvantageous to the business as employees won't have much incentive to stay. Sick employees...
