Flexi Time Request: Fill & Download for Free

My brother works for a small company. It is a small place with around 20 or 30 employees, average pay is around 25k, and pay-day is 10th of every month, however this time the salary came on 9th - all in cash and in currency notes of 1,000 denominations. Earlier they used to pay by the cheques, and yes, to high-performers they used to pay a couple of thousands extra as well, which used to be in cash. But it was all in cash for this month’s salary.I did tell my brother that he should have asked for a couple of extra printed-papers! Printed paper - yes, this is what it was legally on the morning of 9th November.All the money they saved (or converted?) in this manner does not exactly sums up into a very big amount - probably it would be less than the price of BMW car they drive, but it is amazing to see the different kind of strategies our businesspersons deploy to evade taxes, laws etc.Edit - the day after…:All the employees were summoned over in a town-hall kind of meeting next day, which saw some melodramatic moments as well. All the employees were reminded about the company-is-a-family and were requested to “help”. They were handed over various bundles of old currency notes - ranging from 50 to 200k. Instructions were to deposit it immediately in their respective bank accounts, and then return it in weekly installments of 10k. Since the bank-queues are reaching almost to the Mars these days, a rare freedom of flexi-time - upto 2 hours late was awarded (now, this is the place where half-a-day’s salary goes back to employer on reaching 15 minutes late).Brother returned it - one reason was the usual “I hate my employer”. The other, slightly prominent thought was that “Hell! Let us help our PM in doing something nice”; and yes (my reasoning…) that if somebody actually deserves to be “helped”, it should be a real “friend” or maybe, a relative etc.

Time Management has helped me a lot since I started planning my Career well even before my Junior College days.For job, the following time management tips can be executed -In case your current company has stipulated a holiday or flexi time on Saturday, then you can request the interviewer and go for a job interview on a Saturday.You can even utilize some of your paid leaves.Try to plan out a flexi time option for job interview, when there is comparatively less work at your current office.*Most important -While doing so, please ensure that nobody at your current job covertly or indirectly senses that you are sneaking out every now and then by asking for leaves/ flexi timeEnsure that you go for 1 or max 2 job interviews across 2 weeksChoose and go for only those job interviews which do justice to your previous professional roles and responsibilities. You can find this by reading the JD (Job Description) that has been sent to you by prospective employer.Browse these job offers or attend interview calls ‘Only during your lunch time, tea break or when you leave office’ or the time when you are allowed to use phone at current office.Hope this helps. Best Wishes.

In the UK cider is, without exception, an alcoholic beverage. In fact, we find the idea of “cider” describing an apple juice drink that isn’t to be positively bizarre.For the longest time when I was growing up, cider was a lady’s drink; basically, an alternative to beers that was of a similar strength but with a “fruity” flavour - still mass-produced crap in most of the country, although you could get better stuff in some quality pubs. Now, Scandinavian brands such as Rekorderlig and Kopparberg, along with similar UK-based brands, are responsible for some really lovely (if somewhat sweet) drinks of between 5 and 8% ABV.As I say, there has always been real cider. Back fifteen or twenty years ago I was lucky enough to work a flexi-time job that I could knock off from at 4 pm, and on Fridays would often do so and meet friends at a very nice city centre pub. In summer, they would have these cask ciders in a cold-room which were usually stunningly flavourful fruit drinks - but well above 10% ABV. Chatting with my friends on a warm summers early evening, I remember downing one or two pints to wash away the stress of the week, then when I tried to stand up to relieve myself finding that my legs were rather slow in responding to the requests of my brain.And this wasn’t even proper scrumpy.Original question: Is cider in the UK considered to be an alcoholic beverage?
