Goodwill Industries Application 2017-2023

I’ve never actually had to do this in job-seeking; I already had a job, then had a stroke, then, when I returned to my job, I filed for Accommodation.I wouldn’t have even done that, but my District-level person was being a butthead. I wasn’t coming back to full-time fast enough for her; a month after my stroke, my doctor allowed me 25 hours, two weeks later, I requested being ticked up to thirty hours, and my doctor held me there until I’d had my whole first round of PT/OT. My DD started making noises about me stepping down from managerial and going on-call (more hands-on/physical *snort*) so I asked my doctor for forty.When I took that paper to the DD- forty hours, back at full-time- my DD immediately put me back into the on-call manager rotation, and, lo! and behold! I was scheduled as primary on-call that very weekend! Doc said, “No- forty hours, no nights or weekends,” and castigated my DD for wanting to kill me so soon after almost killing me. So, with that paper in hand, I wrote a letter to HR explaining what I was requesting and why, including my Doctor’s Note, and was granted my accommodation.They nearly had to do this. When I was hired into my position, I was assured then I was not on-call, I worked straight eight M - F, no OT unless I volunteered to take a shift somewhere else in the district to cover a call-out. Both the President and Vice-President told me directly I was not on-call. It was the DD who had instituted a weekend on-call rotation a few months after starting her own position, because too many of her younger, more vibrant, managers liked to party on the weekends and so were not covering their programs correctly, and, because I try to be a good employee, I didn’t fuss, I pulled my call-weekends like a good little soldier, covering for others. But not anymore.Not anymore. HR granted my accommodation; DD wasn’t happy and still isn’t. I get notes to record for any little thing she can find- it gets old. I know she’s covering her ass, she knows I’m covering mine, so here we are, in a state of detente; neither one of us giving an inch.My job is difficult; all mandated paperwork for 35 people- and it has to be exactly, meticulously, correct. I do it. I do it and manage a program which is richer and more widely varied than any other in the company, but, as boxed-in as I am, I boxed them in, with me. So, here we are- it isn't fun, it isn’t “right”, it just is.I despise that I had to force my company to do the right thing; but I wasn’t going to allow them to brush me away simply because I can no longer pick up the slack in other departments.

I wrote about the independent-contractor-vs-employee issue last year, see http://nctaxpro.wordpress.com/20...Broadly speaking, you are an employee when someone else - AKA the employer - has control over when and where you work and the processes by which you perform the work that you do for that individual. A DJ or bartender under some circumstances, I suppose, might qualify as an independent contractor at a restaurant, but the waitstaff, bus help, hosts, kitchen aides, etc. almost certainly would not.There's always risk in confronting an employer when faced with a situation like yours - my experience is that most employers know full well that they are violating the law when they treat employees as independent contractors, and for that reason they don't tolerate questions about that policy very well - so you definitely should tread cautiously if you want to keep this position. Nonetheless, I think you owe it to yourself to ask whether or not the restaurant intends to withhold federal taxes from your checks - if for no other reason than you don't want to get caught short when it comes to filing your own return, even if you don't intend to challenge the policy.

**UPDATE** After my answer was viewed over 4,100 times without a single upvote, I revisited it to see where I might have gone wrong with it. Honestly, it seems like a reasonable answer: I explained what each of the forms asked about is for and even suggested getting further information from a licensed tax preparer. BUT, I’m thinking I missed the underlying concern of the querent with my answer. Now I’m reading that they don’t care so much about the forms as they do about the right or, more accurately, the obligation of their employer to withhold taxes at all.So let me revise my answer a bit…Your employer doesn’t charge you taxes - the government does. The government forces employers to withhold (or charge, as you put it) taxes from the earnings of their employees by threatening fines and even jail time for failing to do so (or for reclassifying them as independent contractors in order to avoid the withholding and matching requirements). Whether you fill out any forms or not, employers will withhold taxes because they don’t want to be fined or go to jail.Now the meta-question in the question is how can the government tax its citizen’s income? Well, that’s a big debate in America. Tax is the only way governments make money and they use that money to provide services for their constituency. Without funding, no federal or state or county program, or employee, would exist. But still, some people believe taxation is illegal, unjustified, and flat out wrong. They believe that free market forces should fund the military, the Coast Guard, Department of Defense, Veterans Affairs, Border Patrol, the FBI, CIA, DEA, FDA, USDA, USPS, the Federal Prison Complex, the National Park Service, the Interstate Highway System, air traffic control, and the Judiciary (just to name a few things). They even believe paying politicians for the work they do, like the President and Congress, is wrong.Others (luckily, most of us) appreciate paying taxes, even if they seem a bit steep at times. We’re happy to benefit from all the things our tax dollars buy us and we feel what we pay gives us back returns far greater than our investment. If you’re on the fence about this issue, consider how expensive health care is and how much you’re getting out of paying for it privately (out of your own paycheck). Same with your education or that of your children. Do you pay for private schools? Private colleges? Do you pay for private child care too? All expensive, right?Well what if we had to pay for private fire fighting? Or all mail had to be shipped via FedEx or UPS? Or if the cost of a plane ticket to anywhere doubled because we had to pay out-of-pocket for air traffic control? What about the military, border control and veterans? How much are you willing to pay out of every paycheck DIRECTLY to the department of defense AND veterans affairs? If we privatized the military, would we still be able to afford $30 billion dollar fighter jets? Who would pay to defend us?I bet people living paycheck to paycheck would be hard pressed to find extra money to pay for the military, when they’re already spending so much for teachers, schools, health care, local emergency response, food safety inspections, social workers, the criminal justice system, road repairs and construction, bridge inspection and maintenance, and natural disaster remediation (just to name a few things).Think about if all the national and local parks were privatized. Visiting one would cost as much or more than it does to go to Disneyland. Think about how much more food would cost if farmers weren’t subsidized and food wasn’t inspected for safety. Imagine how devastating a pandemic would be without the Center for Disease Control to monitor and mitigate illness outbreaks.We all take for granted the myriad of benefits we get from paying taxes. We may like to gripe and moan but taxes aren’t just for the public good, they’re for our own. (That rhymes!)**END OF UPDATE**W-9 forms are what you fill out to verify your identification, or citizenship status, for your employers. They have nothing to do with payroll taxes other than being the primary tool to from which to glean the correct spelling of your name and your Social Security number.W-2 forms are issued by employers to employees for whom they paid the required payroll taxes to the government on their behalf. The W-2 also details the amount of a person’s pay was sent to the government to fund their Social Security and Medicare accounts. W-2 forms are necessary for people when filing their personal income taxes so they can calculate if they under or overpaid.W-4 forms are filled out by employees to assure that the appropriate amount of pay is being withheld (and transferred on their behalf) by their employers to the government. If you don’t fill out a W-4 then your employer withholds the standard default amount for a single individual. You can update your W-4 at any time with your employer and you may want to when the size of your household changes.Even if you aren’t an employee (like you get paid without taxes being withheld for you) and are issued a 1099-MISC form instead of a W-2, you’re STILL responsible for paying your taxes as you earn that money - in no greater than quarterly installments. If you go over three months without paying taxes when you’re making money - whether your employer is withholding it and paying it on your behalf or you just made the money and no one took any taxes out for you - you’ll be fined and charged interest on your late tax payments.Talk with a licensed tax preparer and they can help you better understand what it all means. Good luck and happy tax season!

VA Form 21–4192 is an application for disability benefits and like similar state benefits, it must be filled out by the veteran or by his or her qualified representative. This is a private, sensitive, legal document and every dot or dash in it can be critical, so must be accurate and verifiable.Employers have zero responsibility to fill out this form or furnish information for it, however, Social Security would have all the information required that the Department of Defense did not have. The veteran’s DD-214 is likely required, but does not furnish all the information required on the form.

The obvious answer is yes — I could decline to hire you because you farted during your interview. David’s reference to protected classes refers to Equal Opportunity Employment, so we’ll just assume the reason to decline is not for one of those reasons.In the construction industry, we have a lot of turnover. We need people with basic skills; sometimes, those skills are only “has a valid driver’s license.”What if a person has tattoos on his or her neck?This is a pretty good example. There’s nothing wrong with that if the person is applying for some back-office position where customers don’t see. However, construction laborers are often sent out to people’s homes — customers’ homes. They may be there; they may not be there.Little old ladies tend to get scared when big men with neck tattoos are hanging around their home and properties. — I didn’t make that rule. It’s just something that we’ve noticed. And, I don’t have the time or utility in the process to see if I can work neck tattoo guy (NTG) at a job that wouldn’t matter.I may need to send NTG, at any moment, to go help at the job with little old lady (LOL), and I’m not going to ask my customer if he or she is fine with people working around them with neck tattoos.That’s odd. It’s atypical. — It would not be normal business practice to ask that.So, we might have a policy that says — sorry. “We’d consider your employment, but because of your past actions viz. tattooing your neck — we cannot consider your application. And, I wish you the best of luck.”Now, what if we then hired someone else who was more qualified and had neck tattoos? Would that be wrong? Is that unfair treatment?Again, having neck tattoos is not a protected class. So, that’d be fine also under the law.—I’ve been at a company where a homeless person, found under a bridge, was hired to give him a chance.If the employer wants to give a person a chance, then he or she can. If you smell like crap when you come to your interview, or come to pick up an application, then that could be immediately disqualifying.These are decisions normal — and okay — for employers to make. Accommodations may be made for you, and may have to be made for you, if you have certain conditions.—I think of a very overweight man who stank so bad due to his inability to clean himself — he was applying to be a renter at a commercial property — not for a job — that it was discussed whether we’d allow him to rent aka pay money aka bring in income for the company — because the way he smelled might be bad.These are tough choices. If they’re not tough choices, then perhaps you’re less human or less ethical than you could be in business.However, if what you’re doing is not against the law, then it’s your decision, just like it’s the applicant's decision to apply for work or to be a lessee.—Your question is phrased a bit differently, though. It’s not so much about the decision to hire; rather, it’s the decision to accept an application.I would give anyone an application to fill out and bring back, unless that person was obviously intoxicated, obviously rude, or obviously anything obviously disqualifying from the start. — How do you know if someone is intoxicated?Well, you can get training to be the Designated Employer Representative (DER). You can get training to help you to figure out the signs that are articulable, observable, and contemporaneous(-ly recorded) to allow you to rule out people at the point of getting an application, but I still don’t know if you’d do that. It’d probably be better to get the drunk or drugged up person out of the office by giving him or her an application.Do you have to give him or her a pen or pencil to fill out the application on your property?! — No!How many times do you think I’ve told someone — “I’ll pay to print you off an application, but that doesn’t mean I have to pay for your ink to fill it out?”—It’s usually a good idea to give all people seeking an application an application to fill out. You don’t have to allow that person a place, in your property or in your office, in which to fill it out. You don’t have to read the application when it’s turned back in.I’ve had people tell me, “Well I don’t have infinite gas money. I need to fill it out here!” — To which I replied: “We don’t provide gas money for your application and interview process.”Tough love. — There are other ways to get people not to come back than just to say, “We don’t like your appearance so please don’t come back.”That’s not necessarily illegal. In general, it’s not illegal.However, if I told a person, “I’m sorry; I’d love to consider you but you’re a black woman” — umm. — If I ever did that, I would encourage the individual to sue me and my company, because I would be doing something wrong.—I also don’t ask customers if it’s okay if I send African-Americans or women, or white people, or pick a class — to their jobs. If I were to get a request for an all-anything group of workers, then I would cancel the contract.And, being in rural East Texas — I will tell you the truth. I have gotten those requests, and I have never honored one of them.The customer either changed his or her mind, or I canceled the job. — That’s a more sophisticated form of your question to answer.I don’t have to take work either. I don’t have hire people I don’t like. I don’t have to work for people I don’t like. — Asking me to act like that would lead, if not immediately nearly immediately, to my cancellation of the job — for cause.
