Sick Leave Donation: Fill & Download for Free

I can’t speak for USA but in Australia all temple-employed Hindu priests are subjected to Government approved industrial contracts with minimum $16.00 per hour with sick-leave, overtime, holiday pay and all the normal working conditions.So the average temple priest would earn minimum $30,000 per year.Domestic priests are all self-employed and their earning fluctuates but the average dakshina per ceremony is $250 - $300 and weddings are around $1000 upwards.Funerals bring in $300 to $400 depending on the number of rituals to be performed and donations made.

I had been running the Science Resource Center Department for the local school district single handed for a few years. My boss kept promising that I would be getting someone to help.From the time I took over the department the use of the science kits had increased by over 500%. I was going in a hour early every day and staying an hour later every afternoon. The work load had become too much for one person to handle. I was promised that I would get comp time for what I was doing but it never happened. I got excuse after excuse from my boss and his staff.On the my first day back from summer vacation I was supposed to meet my boss at 9. He missed the meeting. His office manager and his secretary thought it would wise to inform me that they and my boss had decided that I would be the one to answer the phones the first hour every morning and the last hour of every work day because they were super busy. .I was stunned at this revelation. Then they told me that I wouldn't be getting the promised help. I also heard that because they worked so hard; the boss had given the money to them both for raises. I had already prepared a letter of resignation at home. I called my husband; I asked him to take me to lunch and to bring my letters.My boss didn't realize that my district contract was a modified contract. I had had a resignation clause added to it. I really didn't trust my boss.When we finally met after 4 PM, my boss was very confident. He said that the money just wasn't there for the help I needed. His secretary and office manager sat there nodding their heads about how it was so sad. He then started to tell me about answering the phones for two hours a day.At this point, I stopped my boss and gave him his copy of my letter. I told that I was going to Central Office to give it to HR & the School Board. I was told by my boss that I couldn't resign. At this point I let him know that I had a modified contract and yes I could resign.I handed in my letters. I was informed by HR that I had over two weeks of paid vacation (I could only use two of them) and over 60 days of paid sick leave which I donated to the sick leave bank. Then I went home.The next morning I told my boss that I would train my replacement but not to take too long. I also gave him 4 copies of my software for all of the science kits on hard discs. I also installed a copy on his computer and his staff's computers. I installed a copy with permission on the district computer. I also told him at that time I DIDN'T keep a copy of my software that I had created on my own time at home to make my job easier.I then told them that I was taking my 2 weeks of vacation. He told me that he was worried about the teachers getting the science kits in a timely manner. At this point I no longer cared. I went and told the other people in Support Services that I was leaving.My boss had a lot of nerve. He stopped me as I was leaving and asked if I would give him the vacation days that I couldn't use. I told him no. Then he told me that I owed him my sick days. I told him that I had already given them to the sick leave bank.My boss didn't get a replacement for over a month. Two months after I left I received a call from my former boss. Apparently they had accidentally destroyed all the copies of my software . He asked me to be a good person and create my software for the district again. It had taken me months on my own time to perfect my software to suit the needs of my department. I told him NO.My boss tried to recreate my program without success. He and his new hire tried to fake it until the end of the school year. The Superintendent knew about the program being lost and was very angry. My former boss lost his position being over all the supplemental services and eventually lost his job with the school district.

There are two types of compensation in the business world — salary and equity.The former gives you a steady stream of income and you are not affected by erratic market movements. The latter gives you ownership of the company, and accordingly, the perks and the dangers if the company soars or crashes.The Risk-Reward tradeoff is key to efficient markets.However, the rich rarely suffer, do they?Amid the current market turmoil, companies are laying employees with little discretion. Normal people are expected to save for a rainy day. They are told to get a second job if one does not suffice. When the government pays them because they were laid off, or suffered an injury, its called “benefits” or “handouts”.But multi-billion dollar behemoths have started screaming “save us!” in less than two months since the global pandemic reared its ugly head.Companies (at least in India) are terminating employees, sending them on forced “unpaid leave”, or just slashing salaries by 25%-50%.Covid-19 Effect: Indian Unicorns, Tech Startups Resort To Layoffs And Pay Cuts For SurvivalSeveral companies announce unpaid leave, layoffsCOVID-19 crisis: Companies cutting salaries during lockdown will need employees' consentNote that, if there is a bumper year, employees don’t get the benefits of the same. “Trickle-down economics” was one of the greatest illusions ever.But somehow, if operations are disrupted by even a couple of months, routine employees are the first to get axed.Look at this guy.His net worth is currently about $140 bn, an amount unseen in the modern day and age. This is after the most expensive divorce settlement that cost him $35 bn.Currently, the company he started, which is one of the 4 trillion dollar corporations in the world, is asking for public donations so that they can pay sick leaves for their employees and contractors.This came after the fact that a few weeks ago, Whole Foods, a company Amazon recently acquired, asked its employees to “donate sick leave to their colleagues who might need it” — Whole Foods CEO Suggests Employees Donate Sick Days to Each Other as Way to Get Through Coronavirus OutbreakAnd then you have the wealthiest university in the entire world, Harvard.Harvard, through years of fees and donations and alumni contributions, has amassed over $40 bn, that is managed through its Asset Management arm. Even a moderate 5% annualized return on it would yield it $2bn every year.And yet, as the epidemic rages on, it decided to lay off its dining staff — Harvard, Boasting $40 Billion Endowment, Lays Off Dining Hall Workers Due to Coronavirus.And it also received $9 mn from the Fed as “relief” — Harvard Nets Nearly $9 Million in Coronavirus Aid from Federal CARES Act | News | The Harvard CrimsonFinally, you have companies like American Airlines, Boeing, and Delta. They, and other players in the aviation industry, have spent tens of billions buying back their own stock in recent years, spending over 96% of their total profits on it — U.S. Airlines Spent 96% of Free Cash Flow on BuybacksImagine a person using 96% of their savings to buy an expensive house or car. And then asking the government for “social benefits” from the next month as they lose their job. Ridiculous, isn’t it?But then nothing is ridiculous when you replace people with corporations. After all, people just vote, corporations make campaign “donations”.The airlines in the US are receiving over $60 bn in a bailout from the government — Airline salaries compared to stock buybacks show why so many people are angry at the bailoutNow, of the 750,000 employees Airlines for America says it represents, these three airlines account for about 320,000 of them, and collectively they would need about $36 billion to pay them for an entire year, and collectively over the last seven years, they've spent about $33.3 billion buying back their own stock. The stimulus bill has about $60 billion set aside for the airlinesThere you have it, folks.Socialism is evil and must be purged when common folks talk about a universal basic income, or universal healthcare, or free education.But when you need to rescue Umbrella Corp, it is in the “best interest of the economy”.
