Policies and Regulations

generally a car is provided to higher level saff , does it include the fuel, chaffeur, serviceetc.
is all this included in ctc or is over & above this.
a proffesional advice is required.

In most of the companies, general managers and above are entitled for company cars (either company gives the car from pool or employee can purchase it and company refunds the money equal to monthly EMI). Cost of fuel is included and it is genrally on per kilometer basis or fixed amount per month. The entitlement of driver and salary depends on company policy for each grade. Similar is the case with company paid servant / cook etc. Are you working in some company? Are you looking for opening in some multi-national company? Please mail me your resume in MS-Word format.

For example, foreign policy. Lots of people talk about whether they agree or disagree with particular wars started under particular majorities in congress and particular presidents, but nobody talks about which is better between intervention or non-intervention, the fundamental foreign policy choices.

People talk about economic policies like taxation and regulation, but nobody talks about economic planning or the free market, the fundamental economic choices.

People moan and complain about the welfare state a lot, but then elect people who sign the largest entitlement bill since the 1960s (Medicare D)

I don’t get how Republicans and Democrats can be so blatantly hypocritical and yet still be so many of them at the same time

Both Parties have a history of selling out the People for money from Special Interests/Elitists/Corporations/Unions/ Foreign Powers. The difference use to be economic prosperity vs. forced immorality. Now, with the Free Trade Act, and transfer of Corporations and Jobs overseas, Independents must take the realm. If a party will not represent the people – they are out-a-here. Messages were sent to the Republicans to get a clue with the election of the unknown kid. The Democrats then showed they do not have a clue, and we sent them a message. They have, so far, said "FO People, We are in control" and were sent another message.

We have now shown both parties that special interest money don’t matter – the people are sovereign and control who gets into office. If neither party will agree to represent the people, they will both be out-a-here, and the People will go with 3rd parties or Independents, whose views they agree with. If they then violate the peoples trust, they too will lose their career at the next election.

Reading their websites is hopeless – neither party actually seem to be saying anything in concrete terms. Perhaps I’m just a little slow though.

With a Politics AS looming it would be helpful to know about party policies. I’m aware of the history of both parties and what they traditionally stood for, but I need to focus on present policies. It would be very helpful if somebody could give me a brief breakdown! Thank you

At the moment, not a lot, as both are vying for the attention of the middle ground and floating voters.

I know that traditionally Labour were seen as revolutionary, in so much as their attitudes towards change, wanting a major overhaul of the state and society, whereas the Conservatives resisted change. The extent of which this is still true is questionnable.

Despite the many similarities there are still massive policy differences, particularly over ID cards, taxes, Europe, the Iraq War.

Example: The Torys believe in patient and pupil ‘passports’ which would allow individuals to take money out of tax-payer funded institutions, most notably the NHS. Individuals would use it to buy services in the private sector, such as private hospitals or even a place in a private school. With healthcare specifically, the would ‘top-up’ the taxpayer contribution from their own funds.

This is different from New Labours policy, which does use private hospitals to try and clear backlogs of NHS operations, but does not advocate the use of private healthcare directly.

There are also some marginal differences in attitudes to policy on education. Labour wish to place prime focus on early learning, wheras the Conservatives focus more on discipline.

Labour have embraced markets, and the Torys have embraced gay marriage, and both are (currently at least) relentlessly campaigning for support in the middle ground, arguably by taking the ‘third way’ but there is still a lot for them to quarrel over: multiculturalism, Atlanticism versus Europe, Asbos and the virtues of prison. Also hunting, Iraq, asylum and immigration.

Main difference is, and most likely always will be, taxes.

is there any law, protecting employers or employees for that matter?

The time at work belongs to the employer, not the employee, and they can legally set policy for personal affairs being done on their time.

Obama used selective memory to blame all the nations troubles on republicans. Was anyone surprised he would lay blame at the feet of one party?
Did he appear humble while pointing fingers?

The one in office now will continue to blame the last one till Jan.of 2013 when he is voted out of office.

Does our government have any policies that make women have mandated screenings or injections of some sort?
This is for my public health class at A&M

No, not to my knowledge, and I am a BC Survivor of 3 years.

I worked in healthcare. It’s the most regulated industry out there and its absolutely ludicrous. If you look at dollars spent on healthcare less and less money is spent on direct patient care-actual services for patients, and more and more money is spent on propping up administrative types that have to oversee everything. It’s absolutely upside down. It’s an outrage.

Avatar is about to become the number one movie moneymaker. Would they be forced to give part of their profits to just other less successful movie makers, or in addition have to support people that would have liked to get into the movie business, but never tried. How would this work in sports? Would a world class sprinter have to compete carrying barny frank on his back?

You get the idea.*

Here is the scenario, an employee resigned from an organization from 1st of Jan 2010. As defined by the company policy he has to stay for one month after resignation. Now the scenario is that the month is 31 days and the dates 30th & 31th are falling on Saturday and Sunday which are Not working days.

In this case, is the employee entitled to get a pay of 29 days or for the whole month? What does the general HR policy states? Know it can differ from company to company but the said company does not has any policy in this regards.

I am no expert in this area but I guess if the company pays your salary on monthly basis then they should give you a complete month’s salary as there are a few weekends in every month…

The case of forfeiting couple of day’s salary should ideally occur when one works for a company on hourly basis.

Hope that’s the case…

At a public seminar in Washington, DC, hosted by CNS on July 17, 2009, German Federal Foreign Office Minister of State, Gernot Erler reviewed Germany’s disarmament and nonproliferation policies and introduced a major study by CNS entitled Four Emerging Issues in Arms Control, Disarmament, and Nonproliferation: Opportunities for German Leadership.

The study, written by CNS senior staff members Dennis M. Gormley, Patricia M. Lewis, Miles A. Pomper, Lawrence Scheinman, Stephen I. Schwartz, Nikolai N. Sokov, and Leonard S. Spector, addresses four issues whose management will be essential to advancing disarmament and nonproliferation objectives and identifies initiatives where Germany can contribute significantly to this process. The study is available at http://cns.miis.edu/activities/090717_german_leadership/index.htm
