WILL FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY HURT MY CHANCES OF FINDING A JOB? Bankruptcy attorneys are often asked whether someone can be fired from their job if they file for bankruptcy.   The short answer is NO.   The Bankruptcy Code contains specific protections for people who file. Section 525(b) says: "No private employer may terminate the employment of, or discriminate with respect to employment against, an individual who is or has been a debtor under this title, a debtor or bankrupt under the Bankruptcy Act, or an individual associated with such debtor or bankrupt, solely because such debtor or bankrupt— (1) is or has been a debtor under this title or a debtor or bankrupt under the Bankruptcy Act; (2) has...

Even with the current financial crisis Brazil has been able to sustain its economy, largely due to its strong domestic market that has been fuelled by abundant credit. M&A activity in Brazil has been very slow since the end of 2008, with transactions for the first semester of 2009 following by 20% when compared to the same period of last year. However the drop is mainly due to a reduction in M&A activity by Brazilian companies. Foreign companies when compared to last year are still very attracted to the Brazilian market. We have seen a few deals this year in the IT sector, followed by food and beverages. By the end of the year we should see more deals in other sectors such as mining and...

Charles is self employed and runs his own business and has done so for years.  Until recently his business has performed quite well.  With the downturn, and an addition to his family, Charles decided the family needed to move.  But there was only one problem--no bank would finance the $320,000 house he was looking to purchase.  Everywhere Charles went, he would show he had the money to buy it--but...

However, among popular beliefs attributed to vegetarian diets, there are some myths that one should be aware to be guided accordingly. Top 5 Vegetarian Diet Myths 1.

In addition, contrary to the Court’s recent decision in Penn Plaza, employees would not be permitted to waive the...

Everything seemed to be going well in my job but when I told him that I was leaving, he fired me. Do any of these stories resonate with you?

California Divorce Overview California is a 'no-fault' divorce state, which means that when a spouse requests a divorce, they will not need to specify a reason or prove wrong-doing on part of the other. From time of initial filing, the soonest a divorce can be finalized is 6 months. No-fault does not mean no disagreements, though. If you foresee that there may be disagreements regarding how the family assets are going to be handled, or how the kids will be cared for, get professional advice immediately. Even if you both agree on how to separate your lives, it is important to have the agreement reviewed by a professional. An advisor who has been involved in many divorces can help you spot weaknesses...

Landlords are highly frustrated due to recession. They are unable to meet their mortgage payment and other financial commitments. Moreover, their tenants are not paying them rent on time due to reduction in their salary or have been laid off by their employer. As a result, landlord is resorting to legal ways of evicting a tenant as he is unable to meet his financial commitments. If a landlord has a "buy-to-let" mortgage, the lender is legally obliged to give the tenant two months statutory notice. A tenant may be paying his rent on time despite of that he will have to face the consequences of his landlord not making the mortgage payments. By law, it is mandatory to offer some notice period to the...

Every job carries some risk of occupational injury or illness. Office jobs expose workers to conditions that arise as a product of eye strain, and hours of typing each day can lead to a painful bout with carpal tunnel syndrome. These injuries, however, can likely be treated and cured by medical treatment and cautious recuperation. Amputation injuries or the loss of use of all or part of a limb or member are a different story altogether. Though there have been significant advances in prosthetic design and functionality, loss of use injuries are still likely to render an employee unable to work in his or her chosen field for a substantial length of time.

Sure, the Credit CARD Act was a step in the right direction. We all have a little more consumer protections than we did before. But as we've seen too often, when Washington tries to fix our problems, the legislation gets watered down to the point where the language is, well, wishy-washy at best. Here are just a few of the areas where the vague wording of the CARD Act gives credit card issuers a little too much wiggle room. Regular Interest Rate Hikes Many consumers think that the law protects them against rate hikes. This is true, but only to a point. You're only protected during the first year of a new account (with a few exceptions, such as variable rates that are tied to an index). But what about...

Are you looking for individual health insurance at a group rate? If so, COBRA is your answer. It's not a snake, but its high cost can make it feel like one! COBRA stands for the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. It is a law that was passed by Congress in 1986. COBRA provides you the option to continue your current healthcare plan (i.e. your former employer's group health insurance) at the group rate that your former employer pays. COBRA enables you to continue to go to the same doctors, receive the same prescriptions, and be treated at the same hospitals you're accustomed to. The most important feature of COBRA is that if you have a pre-existing medical condition (e.g. diabetes) you...

It is no longer possible to use a credit card and carry the balance forever without paying it off! By the way...that is good news! The bad news is that your minimum payments, that you may have been struggling to pay, have gone up...and in some cases doubled! While it has been reported that all credit card companies are doubling the minimum payment, this is not necessarily accurate. However there are a few reported cases like MBNA, Bank of America and Citibank who have announced that they are moving from 2% to 4%, but not all credit card companies have to follow that formula...but they do need to increase the minimum so that people do eventually pay off their balances. Let's start with why this has...

Owning a home is a national dream not only in Canada but anywhere else in the world. The biggest obstacle to buying a home in Canada was finding the down payment.

I apologize for the abruptness of this news, but my work schedule has increased dramatically after the new year and I am no longer available during those times. Thank you for the opportunity to work with you." How do you react when a good employee walks out on you? What are your first feelings? The A's: Anger and Anguish?

The work environment may not be the happiest of places for every employee. Each person that falls victim to workplace discrimination or harassment will react differently- some confront the issue by discussing it with their manager, while others, in the case of last weeks feed up JetBlue employee, grab a beer, release the emergency exit and slide on out in a dramatic exit.

People often deal with scores of risks in their everyday lives, some of which may lead to massive financial losses. Insurance Plans are a way of defending against all these fiscal losses. For a payment (known as premium), the insurance firm will undertake the accountability of compensating financial loss. Protecting anything except human-life is widely known as general coverage. Some most common examples of general insurance are property coverage like belongings and house against theft and fire, or cars against theft or accidental damages. The injuries occurred due to accidents, or hospitalization for surgery and illnesses can also be incorporated in insurance policies. Even one's liability to other...

Speaking up in the workplace about unfair employment practices is a protected right of workers. The United States put laws in place to safeguard this type of conduct because employers retaliate sometimes when a worker complains about conditions. Activities that commonly invite employer retaliation include exercising worker rights, reporting alleged violations of the law to proper authorities, and participating in legal proceedings as a plaintiff or defendant involving the place of work. Particular protections under law against retaliation include the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The NLRA guards employees who complain about the conditions of their job. The...

Pre-settlement and post-settlement cash advances for law firms and attorneys are a good idea in many situations. Under this form of payment, law firms and attorneys receive the funds they need to get the case into the courts.

Rather, with pre-settlement and post-settlement, they get the money they need right away. What is a legal settlement? In many situations, those who have personal injury lawsuits will be owed thousands of dollars, sometimes even more. They may be out of work or disabled due to the injury that someone else caused.

Termination occurs when the employer instructs a contractor to permanently stop the performance of work and leave the site. Construction contracts specify each party’s rights, obligations, and remedies for termination. Termination on construction projects often results in claims and disputes; therefore, the decision to proceed with this option should not be taken lightly.   There are two general types of termination typically addressed in construction contracts: termination for convenience and termination for cause (sometimes referred to as termination for default). In a termination for convenience, the owner may terminate the contract for whatever reason it wishes, such as economic/business...

any years, the major credit card companies have allowed their customers to pay as little as 2% of their outstanding balance each month. This payment, while minimal, has actually allowed the credit card companies to reap record profits, mostly because of high interest rates. While interest rates on home loans have lately been in the neighborhood of six percent, the interest rates on credit cards sometimes reach as much as thirty percent per year! The customer may not be paying much on the principal, but if they fail to pay that principal, the interest accrues quite quickly. In fact, it can take more than nine years to pay off a simple $1000 balance if the cardholder only makes the minimum payment...

Instead of ignoring them, you are advised to take proactive action to face them. Here are some tips you need to bear in mind when dealing with them.

The world is moving so fast and you and me get so busy doing our own thing that we lose contact with each other. In fact, it is easy for us to become lonely and isolated.

There is no one reason that can define why people quit jobs. It could be triggered by a career growth plan, a bad boss, a strenuous environment at work, relocation or a personal reason. This list can never be exhaustive. However, at times, how you quit is more important than why you quit. A resignation or leaving a company does not have to be a bitter experience on both sides. You can make the separation amicable or at least decent by resigning gracefully. The way you handle your resignation says a lot about you and sometimes, it even defines your options in the long-term. Your conduct in the professional life can come back to haunt you at any time later too. So be very particular about how you say...
