I'm writing because I believe the City of Alexandria, Virginia is in violation of their agreement with part-time non eligible VRS employees. VRS employees would receive a state pension and their Prudential Supplemental Pension. The only thing I would receive as a part-time employee would be the Supplemental benefit from Priudential. Again, The City of Alexandria is penalizing it's part-time employees. Three years ago they riffed part-time employees who were making high hourly wages and had served the city for an average of 25 years or more, majority, minorities,women, and considered seniors (well documented). The city has also coaxed individuals into changing their classifications, so the city would not have to offer those employees insurance. Now, they are penalizing employees for taking the Lump Sum payment from the Supplemental Prudential Plan. …show more content…
I attended the bogus information meeting. They held these meetings knowing that they were not going to side with the part-time employees, historically, they never do.The individuals on the Retirement Board or City Counsel who approved this change will not be affected because their monthly annuities will be much higher from the Supplemental Plan than an individual part-time employee who selects the annuity option. With that being said, I don't believe an individual after 25 plus years of service should have to wait each month to receive $187.00. the better option for me is the Lump Sum option. That would've allowed me to roll some over and keep a portion as a cash payout. After all, I earned this during my 25 plus years of
The two major components of Medicare, the Hospital Insurance Program (Part A of Medicare) and the supplementary Medical Insurance program (Part B) may be exhausted by the year 2025, another sad fact of the Medicare situation at hand (“Medicare’s Future”). The burden brought about by the unfair dealings of HMO’s is having an adverse affect on the Medicare system. With the incredibly large burden brought about by the large amount of patients that Medicare is handed, it is becoming increasingly difficult to fund the system in the way that is necessary for it to function effectively. Most elderly people over the age of 65 are eligible for Medicare, but for a quite disturbing reason they are not able to reap the benefits of the taxes they have paid. Medicare is a national health plan covering 40 mi...
In September 2015, PVHMC established the Hospital Gold Alert policy with the purpose of establishing a quick response notification process for patients presenting with two or more indicators of Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS). According to the Sepsis policy indicators for SIRS include: 1) heart rate great than 90 beats/minute, 2) Respiratory rate greater than 20 breaths/minute or PaCO2 less than 32 mmHg, 3) WBC great than 12,000 cells/mm3, less than 4,000 cells/mm3 OR bands greater than 10%, and 4) Temperature greater than 38oC/100.9oF OR less than 36oC/96.8oF. It is also noted in the policy that either a nurse or a physician can initiate a “Gold Alert.” Upon identification of two or more indicators, the “Gold Alert” is announced via overhead speaker and includes responder location.
Sam Johnson a non-union employee advised his supervisor that he was diagnosed with AIDS. Sam considered this important information to tell his co-worker Catherine so she was able to take the necessary precautions. However, Catherine reacted poorly to this news and enacted her right to refuse work with Sam due to fear. A problem arose because the supervisor considered this refusal to work insubordination and asked Clark for advice. This issue has now escalated as Clark believe it is a good idea to fire both of them, deeming it a health and safety issue and insubordination. However, Maple Leaf Shoes Ltd. does not have just cause to dismiss John or Catherine. Maple Leaf has to make accommodations for both of these individuals. The company should make arrangements to move Catherine to a different department if she feels unsafe working with John. However, it is extremely unlikely that Catherine will contract the disease from John in this work environment if safety precautions are taken into consideration. Furthermore, education opportunities should be provided to employees and supervisors, including Clark to learn about HIV/AIDS in order to come to the understanding that John is still a valuable employee even though he is ill. John should be able to remain in his position, unless his illness does not allow him to continue. This is the ideal situation as John could have a case against the company to sue for wrongful dismissing without cause, due to the fact that he notified his co-worker and supervisor when he found out. John has been a valuable employee for the past 8 years. He should be able to receive the benefits offered to him from this company. As mentioned in the assignment, the company is considering moving to a flexible benefits plan where this can be utilized to John’s choice. This would be beneficial for both parties as the plan will allow John to continue working for the company, until such time he does
The DOT (also know as USDOT) Number is an ID for federal safety regulations. The MC Number is your "Interstate Operating Authority." This is the $300 fee I believe you were referring to. The cost is dependent on Authority. 'Permanent Authority has a filing fee of $300."

The reporting party (RP) stated her son Michael Girard DOB: 2/13/68 is a resident living in the facility. The RP disclosed the facility does not provide meals that meet the recommended dietary allowance. An example of breakfast would be two donuts and a glass of milk; one hard-boiled egg. The residents were served hot dogs and can soup. The residents are not provided fresh fruits or vegetables. The residents are sent to their rooms at 6PM and receive cookies and soda as a snack. According to the RP the residents don't have access to the food. All the food is locked up and a resident named Dale has the only key. The residents do not have access to the microwave oven to warm their food. Additionally the residents have no access to the television and are forced to watch CNN or programs preferred by the caregivers.
This question marks its way back to the time when people used to rely on the security of windows login credentials. The security no doubt prevented users from having access to one’s personal computer, but once a person had logged into the system, he/she would have the access to basically anything and everything that came their way.
Software application development at my company was initiated first out of security concerns. There were increasing numbers of security breaches reported in hospitals, banks, Yahoo, and other places that paused potential hazards (Snyder, 2014). We are in the financial Industry with huge volumes of sensitive data. Our Information Technology department expressed concerns that our SQL server was an easy target to those that may want to hack the system. Existing security measures and periodic training were very strict but they were not enough to protect customers from hackers.

The SEPF was founded in 1965; it was created to provide a 6 year retirement benefit. It now provides a monthly lifetime benefit for members that meet the eligibility requirements. The plan also offers disability benefits for members that are eligible. The plan is sponsored by the Service Employees International Union. The board of trustees is made up of three union and three employer representatives. The members of this plan do not contribute any of their own money. The employers are responsible for contributing a negotiated dollar amount based on the hours worked by their employees enrolled in this plan. That money is held in a trust fund and invested; this money is what the fund uses to pay out monthly benefits. The plan serves just over 7,000 members within New York State. There are two offices, one located in Syracuse, NY which is the main office and a smaller office located in Albany, NY. The staff in the Syracuse office is the fund manager, bookkeeper, computer tech., benefit fund specialist and receptionist. The Albany office where I am located is staffed by two benefit coordinators. The staff is comprised of both men and woman varying in age and race. A diverse staff I feel is important to our organization as we service members of many different age, race and gender; this I feel helps to give the members a level of comfort.
On the GORT-5, Jarrod’s average rate was one minute and 71 seconds or 131 seconds. Jarrod reads very slow and is focused too much and pronouncing the words correctly that he is not able to make meaning from the text. Although reading comprehension was his strongest skill area in the GORT-5, research on reading fluency, has shown that when students are able to read fluently, students are able to improve their comprehension. Jarrod will benefit from explicit instruction in reading rate, prosody and building confidence reading aloud.
After my first conversation with the grape producer I decided that purchasing his company’s product would be to my business’s benefit. The partnership began with my company faithfully receiving Muscadine grapes from Mr. Bre’nard Williams. Each delivery was prompt and at a consistent price. An invoice was sent with each delivery, requiring payment within 30 days. There may have been a few times that a late payment may have been made; however, it was done within 45 to 60 days. I also did not receive any interest or penalties on my late payments. The samples turned out to be very popular with my regular
As an advisor to the Mayor of New York, to address recurrent corruption problems within the department, it is I recommending an oversight strategy based on the various approaches to address those issues by increasing the use of special prosecutors with police misconduct investigations. It is heavily relied on by local police officers to make interrogate suspects, investigate cases, arrests, and at trials to testify. With police officers relying the prosecutors to turn their arrests into convictions and help with investigations; it is in some cases involving alleged police misconduct that questions about prosecutors’ sympathies for the defendant, thus leaving sympathies that may prevent the prosecutor as an effective advocate for the state in prosecutions in dealing with cases.
The push for Congress to pass legislation protecting the rights of employees and their retirement was inevitable. Retirement plans are extremely important for all working individuals.
