Ask a Lawyer: Possible Overtime Violations
I work in a Doctors office; we are all on salary. Does this mean we get paid the same money whether we work or not? Does she owe us extra if we work overtime daily?

Telecommuters: Invisible workers?
During the six months that Allison Brinkman worked at home as a public relations manager, she savored the advantages. "I didn't have to dress up, fight traffic, or worry about paying for doggie day care," she says. But she found disadvantages, too.

Path to retirement has pitfalls for women; Lower salaries and longer lives make saving all the more crucial
The economic slowdown has made it harder for many people to keep up their pace of saving for retirement. But women, especially, can find it difficult in tough times to invest enough to ensure a secure retirement. After all, even under ideal circumstances, women face steeper obstacles than men in building a proper retirement nest egg. They live longer, for example, so they must pay for longer retirements. Their job histories are typically shorter, too, which translates into smaller 401(k) accounts. And, compared with men, studies show that on average, women have lower savings rates and are more likely to invest too conservatively, putting themselves at risk of outliving their money. What's more, as home values have dropped and lending standards have tightened, it's become harder to obtain home-equity loans or other products, such as reverse mortgages, that can help ease the financial weight of retirement. It's true that women have narrowed the gap in education and pay levels. Yet they're far more likely than men to interrupt their careers to care for children or parents and to retire earlier than men. |
