EU Legislation to increase maternity leave and pressure on business
Paid maternity leave could increase to 20 weeks for women in the UK if new plans, agreed by the European Parliament’s women’s committee yesterday, are passed through the European Parliament in three weeks’ time.
Current European rules give pregnant women 14 weeks leave fully paid. In the UK, pregnant women get a year off, with the first six weeks on 90% pay, followed by 33 weeks on Statutory Maternity Pay. The rest is unpaid.
Outsourcing Home Business Chores – Why & How
We all hate certain aspects of our daily home business routines; the data plugging, the end of day accounts, the blog updates (heaven forbid). My personal pet hate is searching for the perfect flexible jobs for the job board; it’s at the heart of hmp but I hate it.
Thankfully we’ve had an in-house team of web squirrels to find these jobs from the launch of hiremyparents so I’ve been able to do less and less of it over time. Slowly stepping backwards, smiling all the time, no sudden moves. I can now focus on the parts of hmp I enjoy, things I’m good at.
I don’t want a flexible job – I want a flexible income
We’ve had an increasing number of requests from our members to put less flexible jobs on our job board and more links to reputable ways of earning a per action income.
These are ways for anyone with access to the internet to perform an action on behalf of a client and in return get paid for that action. These actions could be data entry, taking a call, creating links, performing social media tasks, the list goes on. They offer the ultimate in flexibility because if you don’t do the work you don’t get paid – if you do you do. They can be dropped and picked up as you wish.
Family Leave Insurance – Really?
President Obama has slipped a little gem into his proposed budget – family leave insurance.
Having a baby is a leading cause of poverty traps in the USA, the extra cost combined with time off can cause a down spiral that can put families over the poverty line. What Obama proposes is a fund that would help states launch family leave insurance programs by covering start up costs, and it’s a big deal for the economic security of America’s families.
Paid family leave helps stop family poverty before it starts by offering a bridge of economic security when parents must take time off after a new child arrives. With family leave insurance in place, new parents receive pay via the insurance fund when they take the essential time to adjust to a new child and recover from childbirth.
Online Video Marketing – Nothing Works Better…And Here’s How!
Anyone that’s a member or reads the blog knows that I occassionally have a spirt of tech play and create a video to show a process or method that I use to promote, build or start a home business.
These videos are pretty bad, I admit it, but they’re only there as a ‘how to’, simply to inform, they don’t need to look good.
However, if you’re trying to sell a product or service via online video Andy Jenkins just released a new “Video Series” TODAY – and it’s going to melt your brain and ignite your imagination – and tickle other unmentionable areas…
