How We Work - See Business Types Thoughts.
• No more full-time or part-time. Not in the way that it has been. There will be a set level of benefits that every employee will receive starting at 2 hours a week. The max “free-time” given to anyone considered an employee or previously a volunteer at what was previously a 501c3 is 1 hour a week. See Business Type Old Thoughts!
• No more non-profits. Nope, none. This next part has been edited from original statement for clarification. It isn’t that there can’t be volunteers but more so volunteers in the traditional sense. Any business can have people who volunteer however the hours provided still require the business to pay into the Health Plans. Further, there needs to be a limit on the hours that a person can volunteer and not get paid - remember if a company wants to pay a person $1/hr then it comes down to the type of business as to what the highest paid gets paid.
• There will be Four Types of Business’s. Based on the type of business the amount of taxes and benefits required will change. The 2.5%, the 5%, the 10%, and the Business Choice. See Business Thoughts.
• The Four Types of Businesses will choose what their minimum pay will be. However, most simply the minimum pay will be set at $5 an hour. The regular workweek will be considered 35 hours a week. At 40 hours a week min pay is doubled as are the benefit costs to companies. At 50 hours the pay is doubled again as are the benefit costs to companies. Work is meant for work! With a general fewer hours people can socialize outside of the regular work hours. It is important to get the work done that needs to be done when at work.
• While a business may offer or be required to offer specific Health Care Additions or other Benefits based on their safety for the most part you do not get your health benefits through your job.
• General Benefits of health care, retirement, and disability are part of the LifeSupport system. Most simply there is a guaranteed basic health care that every person in the country receives. There are two free add-on systems plus general increase in amounts of the general basic care that are for every legal citizen in the US. People can purchase additional add-ons, qualify for add-ons through other LifeSupport Systems, and as mentioned above some businesses will be required to offer specific add-ons at no cost. More details for the LifeSupport System is in the LifeSupport system section. Example of a required business add-on may be for those whose work is with chemicals that could increase risks of cancers thus screening/care is needed for that.
• For every 2 hours worked the employee must be allotted 10 minutes of break time. It is between the company and employee if the receiving of breaks is at 2 hours or 20 minutes at 4 hours based on the type of work, job, being done which may have different requirements. For those who work from home this is to be included as well. This is paid time! Again, work is for work but movement/walking and socializing during breaks is important – this is especially true for sit-down office jobs thus why when/how the breaks work can be different in different industries.
• For every 6 hours worked the employee must be allotted at least 40 minutes of eating time. It is between the company and employee if the 40 minutes can occur at any point within that 6 hours or up to 12 hours (when next 40 minutes allotted). Those who work from home are to be included. This is paid time.
• Businesses can go above this to offer more or offer it to those who work less than 35 hours a week. This is the fed requirement. For every 35 hours worked in a 7-day period the employee must be allotted at least 7 hours of future Personal Time – this can be used as sick, vacation, or whatever term you want to use. This means over the course of 11 weeks (school term – see Education Thoughts) worked at 35 hours a week the employee would receive 77 hours that would allow for at least some vacation time at the same time as the kid.
• Further, any time that is allotted and not used must be paid at the employee’s hourly wage before the 31st of December in current year unless it is rolled over. For past employees any unused allotted time must be paid within 45 days of the last day they worked or by 31st of December.
• Other OSHA or similar requirements for businesses will be required.
