Question: Is it legal for a company to not pay for training in California?

I just got hired at an AM/PM gas station. I trained for 2 days, 5 hours each. You train for as long as she thinks you need to without pay. She informed me that training is not paid. I did it anyway because I desperately needed a job.

I read that there are some ways around this but, i’m not related to the employer or mentally/physically disabled. When I asked her if it’s legal she replied, “I know what I am doing”.

Also, she’s taking all the tax’s out without me ever signing a W4 form. Thank you!!!!

Answer: legally you are to be PAID for all work hours, generally any training done by an employer is work hours……

see:

if this employer refuses to pay you properly for your time, then file a wage claim with the state at:

and it would seem ‘Flower’ is clueless in regards to labor law….

Question: SYEP job for 2009 (summer youth employment program)?

ok so i am a 14 year old teen who applied for summer youth this yeah….ive done the entire application online and i have my working papers but i have a few questions

When does the lottery begin, is it exactly after the deadline?

How will they contact me if i am selected?

My provider is a hospital…will i get at job filing papers there…OR will they direct me to some place else?

Oh yeah..is it true that if you are not selected in the lottery you can still be picked..IF those chosen do not show up?

How much will we make…i know its up to 25 hours per week, but is it 7.25 or 7.50 an hour——exactly how much will be taken off for for medical and social security tax

Thanks and good luck to all who applied

Answer: I think lottery will begin after the deadline. If you applied online you will receive a receipt.

You can check to see if your application got selected from this site, just log in with your SYEP ID. https://application.nycsyep.com/

Yes, you might get the “chance” to get selected if someone does not show up. This might happen a week after the program has already started or so.

You can earn 7.25 an hour. Not sure how much will be taken off but should be around 300-400.

Question: Should tax payers provide services to illegal immigrants?

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-illegal10-2009jul10,0,3398621.story

California state welfare officials estimate that cutting off payments to illegal immigrants for their U.S.-born children could save about $640 million annually if it survives legal challenges.

California has roughly 2.7 million illegal residents, according to an April 2009 report from the authoritative Pew Hispanic Center, accounting for about 7% of the state’s population. State officials estimate that they add between $4 billion and $6 billion in costs, primarily for prisons and jails, schools and emergency rooms. Beyond those services, the illegal population adds to the overall cost of other parts of local government, from police and fire protection etc.

This is just for California. What does it cost every state?

Answer: Absolutely, a shuttle service right back across the boarder into Mexico. God bless.

Question: are online tax schools a waste of time ? Can you really obtain jobs at a tax office with an online back ground?

I took a course through an online school that did not offer any tax software practice.It was affordable since I loss my job.I have been pounding the pavement and sending out my resume.I live in California and all of my requirements have been met,but I still haven’t gotten much response.What might I be doing wrong?

Answer: the California Society of Tax Consultants, www.cstcsociety,org offer online courses and they are very good
they do not however, guarantee you any job, but you are able to prepare taxes when you register with the California Tax Education Council, www.ctec.ca.gov
taking the courses with H/R, Jackson/Hewlitt, Liberty never guarantee a job with them they simply don’t have spaces for all the people taking the courses

A salve for California’s financial woes — if voters will buy it

The public might approve a tax extension if the money went to local governments instead of Sacramento. The spending lobby, the tax haters and a ticked electorate all fouled up in 2009. But Gov.-elect Jerry Brown may give everyone a chance to redeem themselves next year.
