Employment Security Commission Knowledge Base
Employment Security Commission? Why don't more white-collar employers use their services more often to advertise for openings? Most of the jobs are labor-intensive and don't require much education. The jobs that do require a degree are usually social-service jobs or other low-paying government jobs. What is your experience and/or opinion?
Who knew the job market was so low? Wow! I have been looking for FT employment now since April. I have gone through three black ink cartridges printing out resumes--not to mention the 50 or so I have submitted online. Today I sat in the employment security commission office for 4 hours and they really had nothing to offer either. I have a degree, but no one wants to pay more than $8 per hour and the two job offers that I have received offered no benefits...and that is nearly impossible to live off of these days! Is anyone else having this much trouble? Is it only like this in NC?
Identitiy Theft? A couple of years ago while attempting to find a job through my state's (North Carolina) employment security commission, I was told that I was employed at a company that I had never heard of. Recently I discovered the same thing again. Somehow it seems as if someone has been using my social security number to collect wages at this company. However, when I called the social security administration I was told that there was no way that someone else could be using my social. What i dont understand is how, when my social is entered into the employment security commission database, this particular company comes up along with other jobs that I have actually worked. Does this classify as identity theft? If so, what do I do? I think someone has been using my social to collect wages.
Finding a job...? I'm looking for a part-time job for when I go back to school next month... I've looked online at the employment security commission's website, I've tried all the local newspapers, I've tried Craigslist, and Monster.com.... There are on-campus jobs, but the starting pay there is $6.25. I'd like to make more than that. Where else is there to look? I would ideally like to have something around 20 hours a week, preferrably an office job. I have applied to a few different places... one in particular I really had my heart set on, and when I called back after submitting my application, they told me they were "Persuing other applicants." UGH! Its sooo disappointing, and I'm getting discouraged. I live in a rural town in Northwest NC and will be commuting to school about 45 minutes away in a small college town. I could work either place. As far as experience... I have been a real estate broker for almost two years, but can no longer work in re b/c it requires full time commitment. So my question..... what tips do you have for me to find a part time job??? Any help you provide is greatly appreciated!!!
Do I have to pay self employment tax on the rebate my Realtor gave me back from my home purchase? I sold my home and bought a different home last year. My Realtor rebated several thousand dollars of his commission back to me on the purchase transaction. My normal income is just a pension and my spouse and I both receive Social Security. My tax man says I do not normally have to file and haven't for a couple years now. I am being told that I have to file this year due to that Realtor rebate and that I will have to pay self employment tax on the rebate amount received. Another tax man told me that it was not earned income (I didn't do anything for it - it was just a way of the Realtor discounting his fees) and that I did not have to pay self employment tax. What is the right answer? Does it matter what kind of 1099 is issued? Where do I go for reliable answers.......? PLEASE HELP!!
How is the Tax calculated for commission based employement? NEW YORK STATE, NY CITY. I work at an agency where I get commission check, I get it regularly, and then at the end of the month, they add whatever is remaining on my commission on top and payme the balance. On my paycheck, it states "Commission" and it is simple Company Check, not employment Check, it does not have any Tax Witheld or Social Security. And I don't think I have medical insurance, etc. I started working there in about Nov 1st. How will the salary be reported to IRS, and how will I file my taxes? Is it going to be indepenedent contractor / outside position, and then I should be able to claim all of my expenses to work there, such as transportation, food, etc. Or should I just start another business, and work at my job under that business so taxing could be easier? I am new to this, so any help would be appreciated.

Can I get the security deposit back? I made a contract for renting a condo - 2 years lease including "diplomatic clause" in April this year - S$2,500 monthly. But my employment pass expires in October and there is no chance to extend the EP. So I must leave Singapore after living in this condo for only 5 months. In this case,How much can I get the security deposit? Could you tell me an advice in detail ? I append the following two articles for your reference. (i) Notwithstanding the tenancy is for a term of 2 years it may be only determined after a period of 12 months if the tenant shall be required to leave Singapore permanently on a job transfer or if tenant's employment is terminated. (j) If this Agreement should be lawfully terminated before the expiry of the tenancy herein aforesaid,the Tenant shall refund to the landlord,pro rata,the commission paid by the Landlord to his real estate agent. The landlord shall be entitled to deduct such refund from the deposit held by the landlord.
Should I seek employment elsewhere? I am paid strictly on commission but I have no gaurantees on when or if I will be paid. During my company's busy months I am paid fairly well and make more than I have anywhere else. During my company's slow months I get behind on all of my bills which will eventually ruin any credit I have been trying to build. I am unable to save any money during the busy season because I'm making up for all of the bills I have gotten behind on during the slow season. My question is, should I look for a new job where I will be paid hourly but make less money for the security of knowing when I will be paid?

Barack Obama DROPS TAXES!!!!? Barack Obama's Plan Support Working Families Provide a "Making Work Pay Tax Cut" for America's Working Families: American people work longer and harder than those in any other wealthy nation in the world. But their hours are getting longer and their wages aren't getting any higher. In addition they are being squeezed by rising health care, education and energy costs. Rather than relieving the burden on working families, the current administration has provided tax cut after tax cut to the wealthiest Americans and enacted tax breaks for the most well-connected corporations. Barack Obama will restore fairness to the tax code and provide 150 million workers the tax relief they deserve. Obama will create a new "Making Work Pay" tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000 per working family. This refundable income tax credit will provide direct relief to American families who face the regressive payroll tax system. It will offset the payroll tax on the first $8,100 of their earnings while still preserving the important principle of a dedicated revenue source for Social Security. The "Making Work Pay" tax credit will completely eliminate income taxes for 10 million Americans. The tax credit will also provide relief to self-employed small business owners who struggle to pay both the employee and employer portion of the payroll tax. The "Making Work Pay" tax credit offsets some of this self-employment tax as well. Provide a Living Wage: Barack Obama believes that people who work full time should not live in poverty. Before the Democrats took back Congress, the minimum wage had not changed in 10 years. Even though the minimum wage will rise to $7.25 an hour by 2009, the minimum wage's real purchasing power will still be below what it was in 1968. As president, Obama would further raise the minimum wage, index it to inflation and increase the Earned Income Tax Credit to make sure that full-time workers can earn a living wage that allows them to raise their families and pay for basic needs such as food, transportation, and housing -- things so many people take for granted. Expand the Earned Income Tax Credit: In both the Illinois State Senate and the U.S. Senate, Obama has championed efforts to expand the EITC, which is one of the most successful anti-poverty programs to date. As president, Obama will reward work by increasing the number of working parents eligible for EITC benefits, increasing the benefit available to parents who support their children through child support payments, and reducing the EITC marriage penalty which hurts low-income families. Under the Obama plan, full-time workers making minimum wage would get an EITC benefit up to $555, more than three times greater than the $175 benefit they get today. If the workers are responsibly supporting their children on child support, the Obama plan would give those workers a benefit of $1,110. Expand Paid Sick Days: Half of all private sector workers have no paid sick days and the problem is worse for employees in low-paying jobs, where less than a quarter receive any paid sick days. Barack Obama will require that employers provide seven paid sick days per year. Expand the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA): The FMLA covers only certain employees of employers with 50 or more employees. Barack Obama will expand the FMLA to cover businesses with 25 or more employees. Barack Obama will expand the FMLA to cover more purposes as well, including allowing workers to take leave for elder care needs; allowing parents up to 24 hours of leave each year to participate in their children's academic activities at school; allowing leave to be taken for purposes of caring for individuals who reside in their home for 6 months or more; and expanding FMLA to cover leave for employees to address domestic violence and sexual assault. Encourage States to Adopt Paid Leave: As president, Barack Obama will initiate a 50 state strategy to encourage all of the states to adopt paid-leave systems. Obama will provide a $1.5 billion fund to assist states with start-up costs and to help states offset the costs for employees and employers. Expand High-Quality Afterschool Opportunities: Barack Obama will double funding for the main federal support for afterschool programs, the 21st Century Learning Centers program, to serve one million more children. Obama will include measures to maximize performance and effectiveness across grantees nationwide. Expand the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit: The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit provides too little relief to families that struggle to afford child care expenses. Barack Obama will reform the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit by making it refundable and allowing low-income families to receive up to a 50 percent credit for their child care expenses. Protect Against Caregiver Discrimination: Workers with family obligations often are discriminated against in the workplace. Barack Obama will commit the government to enforcing recently-enacted Equal Employment Opportunity Commission guidelines on caregiver discrimination. Expand Flexible Work Arrangements: Barack Obama will address this concern by creating a program to inform businesses about the benefits of flexible work schedules for productivity and establishing positive workplaces; helping businesses create flexible work opportunities; and increasing federal incentives for telecommuting. Obama will also make the federal government a model employer in terms of adopting flexible work schedules and permitting employees to petition to request flexible arrangements.
from the washington times maybe we should adopt their ilegal immigration policies go protest your own land? The Mexican solution FRANK J. GAFFNEY JR. By Frank J. Gaffney, Jr. April 4, 2006 The Congress has received lots of free advice lately from Mexican government officials and illegal aliens waving Mexico's flag in mass demonstrations coast-to-coast. Most of it takes the form of bitter complaints about our actual or prospective treatment of immigrants from that country who have gotten into this one illegally -- or who aspire to do so. If you think these critics are mad about U.S. immigration policy now, imagine how upset they would be if we adopted an approach far more radical than the bill they rail against that was adopted last year by the House of Representatives -- namely, the way Mexico treats illegal aliens. In fact, as a just-published paper by the Center for Security Policy's J. Michael Waller ( www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/Mexicos_Glass_House.pdf) points out, under a constitution first adopted in 1917 and subsequently amended, Mexico deals harshly not only with illegal immigrants. It treats even legal immigrants, naturalized citizens and foreign investors in ways that would, by the standards of those who carp about U.S. immigration policy, have to be called "racist" and "xenophobic." For example, according to an official translation published by the Organization of American States, the Mexican constitution includes the following restrictions: • Pursuant to Article 33, "Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country." This ban applies, among other things, to participation in demonstrations and the expression of opinions in public about domestic politics like those much in evidence in Los Angeles, New York and elsewhere in recent days. • Equal employment rights are denied to immigrants, even legal ones. Article 32: "Mexicans shall have priority over foreigners under equality of circumstances for all classes of concessions and for all employment, positions or commissions of the Government in which the status of citizenship is not indispensable." • Jobs for which Mexican citizenship is considered "indispensable" include, pursuant to Article 32, bans on foreigners, immigrants and even naturalized citizens of Mexico serving as military officers, Mexican-flagged ship and airline crew, and chiefs of seaports and airports. Article 55 denies immigrants the right to become federal lawmakers. A Mexican congressman or senator must be "a Mexican citizen by birth." Article 91 further stipulates that immigrants may never aspire to become cabinet officers, as they are required to be Mexican by birth. Article 95 says the same about Supreme Court justices. In accordance with Article 130, immigrants -- even legal ones -- may not become members of the clergy, either. • Foreigners, to say nothing of illegal immigrants, are denied fundamental property rights. For example, Article 27 states, "Only Mexicans by birth or naturalization and Mexican companies have the right to acquire ownership of lands, waters and their appurtenances, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines or of waters." • Article 11 guarantees federal protection against "undesirable aliens resident in the country." What is more, private individuals are authorized to make citizen's arrests. Article 16 states, "In cases of flagrante delicto, any person may arrest the offender and his accomplices, turning them over without delay to the nearest authorities." In other words, Mexico grants its citizens the right to arrest illegal aliens and hand them over to police for prosecution. Imagine the Minutemen exercising such a right. • The Mexican constitution states that foreigners -- not just illegal immigrants -- may be expelled for any reason and without due process. According to Article 33, "the Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action." to pancho what a load of crap this is what you have to say wow so different rules and your here protesting instead of mexico oh its ok because were a poor what about the poor people who are trying to better their lives by getting into mexico because their country is even poorer its ok for mexicans but not anyone else sounds like mexicans are corrupt and they are bringing those values here no thanks
