Fmla Forms

In many districts, to avoid legal battles, they have a last in-first out system.The newest employee gets cut first in a staff reduction. Even if the principal has three long-term employees worse than the great newbie.Also, districts try to keep their teachers. As someone said, they cut positions, not teachers. That means that they won't hire additional guidance counselors when people leave/retire/move, but they won't fire the ones still there.Likewise, they cut jobs at a school, and those teachers were the first on the list to get jobs elsewhere in the district, before they hire outsiders. FMLA should protect you in case a principal does go after you, but only refer to it after the fact. Don't lead with the fact that you've been out 12 weeks for medical reasons, because it isn't relevant to your evaluation - bring up the positive contributions to your school. (Also, teaching is a heavily FMLA profession - caring women, with pregnancies and sick kids and cancer scares and dying husbands and parents. We deal with 100 sad student stories, we are empathetic when we need to put life before work.)As for evaluations, data is your best friend. (It's usually 40%-50% of the eval, and helps shape the principal's expectations of the other 50%.) Work to find ways to show that you have increased students' performance, and everything else melts away. How can you market quantitatively what you've done all year in the class?

NOOOOOOO. You are talking to a military romance scammer. I received an email from the US Army that directly answers your question that is pasted below please keep reading.I believe you are the victim of a military Romance Scam whereas the person you are talking to is a foreign national posing as an American Soldier claiming to be stationed overseas on a peacekeeping mission. That's the key to the scam they always claim to be on a peacekeeping mission.Part of their scam is saying that they have no access to their money that their mission is highly dangerous.If your boyfriend girlfriend/future husband/wife is asking you to do the following or has exhibited this behavior, it is a most likely a scam:Moves to private messaging site immediately after meeting you on Facebook or SnapChat or Instagram or some dating or social media site. Often times they delete the site you met them on right after they asked you to move to a more private messaging siteProfesses love to you very quickly & seems to quote poems and song lyrics along with using their own sort of broken language, as they profess their love and devotion quickly. They also showed concern for your health and love for your family.Promises marriage as soon as he/she gets to state for leave that they asked you to pay for.They Requests money (wire transfers) and Amazon, iTune ,Verizon, etc gift cards, for medicine, religious practices, and leaves to come home, internet access, complete job assignments, help sick friend, get him out of trouble, or anything that sounds fishy.The military does provide all the soldier needs including food medical Care and transportation for leave. Trust me, I lived it, you are probably being scammed. I am just trying to show you examples that you are most likely being connned.Below is an email response I received after I sent an inquiry to the US government when I discovered I was scammed. I received this wonderful response back with lots of useful links on how to find and report your scammer.

Yes, in America it is legal for employers to require you to work when sick, or punish you for not working when sick—even if you have a doctor's note.The only national sick leave law is called the Family and Medical Leave Act. It does guarantee that you can take up to 12 weeks off, unpaid, every year, without getting fired. But here's why you couldn't use that, even with your doctor's note.FMLA only applies to serious illnesses. This usually means something that will last more than 3 days. It can also refer to something which will regularly require you to take time off, such as very painful periods every month; it can also mean things that will require a doctor's continuing care, such as a cold with a bacterial infection which requires antibiotics.This means that FMLA cannot be used on illnesses which will not recur, or which will last less than 3 days (unless you must be hospitalized), or which will get better on their own. FMLA does not apply to most colds, or minor sprains, or even stomach flu.In fact, it is illegal for employers to take away from the 12 weeks guaranteed to you for serious illnesses on non-serious illnesses. That is, let’s say that you had a cold, and your employer wanted to be nice and give you 3 days off under FMLA. Then let’s say you got pregnant (this counts as serious). Your employer is not allowed to give you less than 12 weeks of FMLA leave just because you got a cold.Note, of course, that the 12-week limit is absolute. If you took 1 week of leave for pneumonia, then you have 11 weeks of FMLA leave left available that year for any other condition. So if you got pregnant after that, you’d be able to take only 11 weeks. Your employer is allowed to decide whether it wants to use a rolling year which starts when you first take FMLA leave, or a calendar year.Note also that since your employer is not allowed to take away from your bank for non-covered conditions, your employer is going to be very picky as to what it allows as FMLA. You can see it as being stingy (or being scared of getting in trouble with Uncle Sam)—but you can also see it as being generous, helping you save that 12 weeks for when you really need it.FMLA might not apply to you. Only companies which have more than 50 employees are required to provide FMLA leave. (Other states might have less; Maine requires all companies with more than 15 employees to offer it. But federally, it’s 50.) And it only applies to employees who have worked full-time for 1 year or more.Even if you do have a condition which would be covered under FMLA, and even if FMLA does apply to you, your employer is not required to recognize your doctor’s note. Your employer is not legally allowed to ask you more than what is listed on form WH-380, which is mostly just describing the illness and asking how much time they need (the form is here: https://www.dol.gov/whd/forms/wh...).However, your employer is allowed to require you to use that form.Also, your employer doesn’t have to let you print out that form yourself and take it to the doctor; your employer is allowed to make you get a partially-filled-out copy from HR. (Once you tell HR that you want FMLA leave, your employer has 5 days to get you that form.) Then, your employer can require that you submit it within 15 days.What this means is that most companies do use that form, and they do not let you print it out yourself. And companies like this do not accept a regular doctor’s note.So put it all together, and there are a lot of reasons why your employer will not accept your doctor’s note. Your employer probably doesn’t have any sick leave other than FMLA (and yes, it’s legal to do this in most states). And your sickness probably doesn’t count as “serious” for FMLA. And even if it does, your employer doesn’t have to accept your doctor’s note.

Departments of education and school districts always have to make decisions about what to include in their curriculum.  There are a lot of life skills that people need that aren't taught in school.  The question is should those skills be taught in schools?I teach high school, so I'll talk about that.  The typical high school curriculum is supposed to give students a broad-based education that prepares them to be citizens in a democracy and to be able to think critically.  For a democracy to work, we need educated, discerning citizens with the ability to make good decisions based on evidence and objective thought.  In theory, people who are well informed about history, culture, science, mathematics, etc., and are capable of critical, unbiased thinking, will have the tools to participate in a democracy and make good decisions for themselves and for society at large.  In addition to that, they should be learning how to be learners, how to do effective, basic research, and collaborate with other people.  If that happens, figuring out how to do procedural tasks in real life should not provide much of a challenge.  We can't possibly teach every necessary life skill people need, but we can help students become better at knowing how to acquire the skills they need.  Should we teach them how to change a tire when they can easily consult a book or search the internet to find step by step instructions for that?  Should we teach them how to balance a check book or teach them how to think mathematically and make sense of problems so that the simple task of balancing a check book (which requires simple arithmetic and the ability to enter numbers and words in columns and rows in obvious ways) is easy for them to figure out.  If we teach them to be good at critical thinking and have some problem solving skills they will be able to apply those overarching skills to all sorts of every day tasks that shouldn't be difficult for someone with decent cognitive ability  to figure out.  It's analogous to asking why a culinary school didn't teach its students the steps and ingredients to a specific recipe.  The school taught them about more general food preparation and food science skills so that they can figure out how to make a lot of specific recipes without much trouble.  They're also able to create their own recipes.So, do we want citizens with very specific skill sets that they need to get through day to day life or do we want citizens with critical thinking, problem solving, and other overarching cognitive skills that will allow them to easily acquire ANY simple, procedural skill they may come to need at any point in their lives?

Years ago I worked at document management company.  There is cool software that can automate aspects of hand-written forms.  We had an airport as a customer - they scanned plenty and (as I said before) this was several years ago...On your airport customs forms, the "boxes" that you 'need' to write on - are basically invisible to the scanner - but are used because then us humans will tend to write neater and clearer which make sit easier to recognize with a computer.  Any characters with less than X% accuracy based on a recognition engine are flagged and shown as an image zoomed into the particular character so a human operator can then say "that is an "A".   This way, you can rapidly go through most forms and output it to say - an SQL database, complete with link to original image of the form you filled in.If you see "black boxes" at three corners of the document - it is likely set up for scanning (they help to identify and orient the page digitally).  If there is a unique barcode on the document somewhere I would theorize there is an even higher likelihood of it being scanned - the document is of enough value to be printed individually which costs more, which means it is likely going to be used on the capture side.   (I've noticed in the past in Bahamas and some other Caribbean islands they use these sorts of capture mechanisms, but they have far fewer people entering than the US does everyday)The real answer is: it depends.  Depending on each country and its policies and procedures.  Generally I would be surprised if they scanned and held onto the paper.   In the US, they proably file those for a set period of time then destroy them, perhaps mining them for some data about travellers. In the end,  I suspect the "paper-to-data capture" likelihood of customs forms ranges somewhere on a spectrum like this:Third world Customs Guy has paper to show he did his job, paper gets thrown out at end of shift. ------>  We keep all the papers! everything is scanned as you pass by customs and unique barcodes identify which flight/gate/area the form was handed out at, so we co-ordinate with cameras in the airport and have captured your image.  We also know exactly how much vodka you brought into the country. :)

I strongly recommend purchasing a tax program, Turbo tax, H&R block etc.These programs will ask you questions and they will fill out the forms for you.You just print it out and mail it in. (with a check, if you owe anything)I used to use an accountant but these programs found more deductions.

Yes, you do. Census helps the government/private companies know the number and the types of people in your town/state/country. When you provide information, you get better service.If you're worried about your personal information getting leaked, don't be. A census usually only requires your name and the no. of people in your house (depends on the scale of the census)You got to nothing to lose anyway. Just give the information. It'll take less than 5 minutes.

I hate when people ask a question, then rather than answer, someone jumps in and tells them they don't need to know--but today, I will be that guy, because this is serious.Why oh why do you think you can do this yourself?Two things to consider:People who get a masters degree in Accounting then go get a CPA then start doing taxes--only then do some of them start specializing in international accounting.  I've taught Accounting at the college-level, have taken tax classes beyond that, and wouldn't touch your return.Tax professionals generally either charge by the form or by the hour. Meaning you can sit and do this for 12 hours, or you can pay a CPA by the hour to do it, or you can go to an H&R Block that has flat rates and will do everything but hit Send for free.  So why spend 12 hours doing it incorrectly, destined to worry about the IRS putting you in jail, bankrupting you, or deporting you for the next decade when you can get it done professionally for $200-$300?No, just go get it done right.
