A kitchen teacher actually "touches" on the intern girl up and down😱 However, the intern girl chose to be quiet because she was afraid of failing her internship 😰 Labour law takes sexual harassment in the workplace very seriously 💯 If you've already been "groped", you should report it to the HR department right away instead of staying quiet for fear of failing the internship, I'm sure your university will understand! There are four ways to protect yourself: 😎 1. report to the company's HR department and immediately ask the HR department to investigate the incident (It is said that after the report was made, there was no follow-up and the company chose to protect the teacher) 2. report the incident to your school immediately so that the school can intervene. 3. tell your parents (Parents should take action when they hear that their child is being "sexually molested.") 4. file a complaint with the police or the Ministry of Labour. In short, "sexual harassment" in the workplace should not be tolerated 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬. The government also announced in 2023 that all notice boards in companies need to be labelled with sexual harassment notices as a warning. Victims can't take it lying down.

Classifying #summerinterns as employees rather than independent contractors is generally advisable. Misclassifying interns as independent contractors can lead to legal noncompliance with the FLSA and penalties. Employers classify summer interns as independent contractors to avoid offering them benefits as they are only temporary employees. However, this may not be needed. Generally, part-time interns may not be eligible for benefits depending on the hours worked. Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), summer interns may be considered seasonable employees if the employee is hired into a role in which the customary employment is six (6) months or less and the period of employment begins each year in approximately the same part of the year, such as summer or winter. It is crucial to assess each intern’s role and work scheduled individually to determine the proper classification. We recommend you consult an HR professional or legal advisor to ensure appropriate classification and compliance with all applicable laws. #HRbestpractices #employmentlaw #humanresources #PEO

You don't need to work for anyone who pays less than the bare legal minimum, sets unsafe workloads, and then leaves you feeling guilty for struggling. If you discover your employer is not complying with the Fair Work Act or Award requirements, let them know. Much of the time, it's not intentional and employers will fix it. If they don't, get in touch with the Fair Work Ombudsman. You have rights at work!

Dear potential interns, please be considerate! THREE IMPORTANT advice on how you should approach your applications: 1. Do Your Homework Before Applying - If you receive an offer, DO NOT reject it. Avoid using family permission as an excuse for not accepting it. This suggests you still need to research the organisation beforehand thoroughly. Preparation is key. 2. Apply Ethically - It's not just frowned upon but also ethically questionable to apply to multiple organisations simultaneously. To remind you, organisations typically take only 3-5 days to respond to your application. Patience is a virtue. 3. Value the Offer - Once accepted, understand that it's more than just an offer. It's a commitment. The HR department invests significant time and effort in the selection process. Rejecting an offer after acceptance shows a lack of appreciation for their time. Let's be considerate and value the opportunities and the people behind them.

Looking for work, preparing a resume, interviewing, and landing a job is a learned skill – everyone starts somewhere. For young adults without confidence or family support, or simply never having had a job before, the challenge is ever greater. This year, our 18th Summer effort, the Northern Virginia Educating Youth Through Employment (EYE) Program reached over 180 young adults and placed them into jobs where they earned some money and gained new confidence in their work attitudes. All of our Northern Virginia EYE Young Adults was provided a LinkedIn Learning License to explore new skills and to continue building their education efforts for the year ahead.   Our Northern Virginia Program emphasizes gaining new skills through direct work experience and adding value to an employer’s organization. In my luncheon address to the EYE graduates, I quoted Dr. Martin Luther King by noting “If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven played music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.” There is so much need for these types of work experience programs for young adults, both in Northern Virginia, all of Virginia and and across the United States. Let’s make this effort a national priority.

Where intentions from Labour’s Plan to Make Work Pay are more generic, Tamar HR provide an insight to some of the key topics below:- ◾ Employment Claims – A significant change is proposed to extend the timeframe from three to six months where this is not already the case, which is for most claims, including unfair dismissal. ◾ Redundancy Rights and Tupe – Labour plan to strengthen redundancy rights and protections ensuring the right to redundancy consultation is determined by the number of people impacted across the business rather than in one place.  The rights and protections for workers subject to Tupe processes will also be tightened. ◾ Unpaid Internships – Labour plan to ban unpaid internships except when they are part of an education or training course. Allowing the talent of tomorrow to gain vital skills and experience required to succeed. ◾ Social Care Sector – An overhaul is planned to include a degree of collective work based on negotiation around pay, terms and conditions as well as training standards. Enforcement of paid travel time for carers is also mentioned.
