Recession Woes – Job Security

Monday, December 15th, 2008


Recession has workers and employers putting asides their differences to try and give in to each others wants and needs. The cooperation we see is awe inspiring for rarely do these two camps side on and decide as one on matters that may dictate the work they do and when they should do it. The worsening economic conditions are getting people fired faster that they can be created by the new government and the end isn’t even in sight.
Workers groups and management of the world’s top firms have had to compromise on steps they could take to maintain the integrity of the firms they work for or else risk going bankrupt ending up as a loss for all. Shortened work schedules, longer weekends and other compromise agreements are keeping workers in their jobs but the question is for how long. Management wants to keep their skilled people on-board as long as possible but time is against their side fro slumping sales cannot bring in enough cash to put back in the business to keep it running. Those who have ample health and employee insurance have a little more to offer but others without the said benefits want to keep their jobs so they can continue to bring home the bacon so to speak.

医療貯蓄口座とは何か

Thursday, December 4th, 2008


医療貯蓄口座(HSA)は特別な貯蓄口座で、貴方に非課税の収入の一部を預金させ、将来の医療、長期看護、定年後の費用に使用するものです。 HSAは貴方が高額免責健康保険を持つ場合のみ得られます。 免責額は少なくとも一人に付き1050ドル/年、または家族で2100ドル/年です。 これは雇用者と従業員の健康保険の費用を削減するために作られました。 HSA 貯蓄は個人により所有され、あなたが何処に行こうが、仕事をしていようがいまいが、口座を維持することが出来ます。 年から年へ繰り越すことが出来るため、貯蓄を一定期間の間貯めることも出来ます。 HSAのなかでは利子を貯め、配当が非課税または繰延課税のものもあります。 これらの口座の金は高額免責健康保険などに保証されない歯科治療や市販の薬などいろいろな医療の費用に使用できます。
