In Ri How Long After Being Laid-off Is An Employee Covered Under An Employer

How many breaks should an employee get in an 8 hour shift?

#1. Request an employee that how many break he needs and ask#2. Based on this - request him when he or she wants to take a break#3. Take care of employees first then the business will grow.Apart from all this - if you need then keep the employees only at the required hours and don’t just create 8 hours stuff when it is not required.Why 8 hours? We no need 8 hrs when it is not required. This 8 hours started at India when people were not productive ,lots of people need a job for the sake of job and it got started when we dont have machines and 9 to 5 was the only time that we can work.After 150 years still 8 hour rule is applicable which is a waste of humanity.

I Work in Mass, But Live in RI, who Do I file Unemployment with?

You should always file in the state where you live. Then the state will send the required paperwork to the state where you worked.

Why? This is because if you worked in multiple states over the period, only your home state can do an interstate unemployment claim.

Has anyone been laid off or fired from IBM India? Can you share your story here?

Haven't heard of any such incidents recently. Am myself doing fine for the last 4.5 years. IBM does never fire any resource out of the blue just because the company is going through some bad patch or financial crisis unless that's absolutely necessary.

Why would a company offer a 6 month notice period to someone who has been laid off?

I will attempt to answer this question even though it is a bit confusing with past tense of time being used for "has been laid off".  I assume you are referring to an employee who has been presented with a severance package and has signed that severance agreement but needs to remain onsite for a period of 6 additional months.From my personal experience, if a position has a significant store of knowledge/project work that needs to be transferred to another individual (or department or company), there needs to be a transition or ramp down period for that to happen. If a severance package is put together and presented appropriately (i.e. with the best interests of both parties in mind), a transition period would be explicitly built into the contract (in the case of your question - 6 months) which sets up an accountability for the leaving party to complete the requested transition tasks (and if they leave prior to that, I assume the severance package would become null).Every company has their own severance philosophy, and every employee departure has its own nuanced details, so my answer above may only cover a personal experiential perspective of the situation - but hopefully it assists with your understanding of why an employee would stick around even though they have technically been laid off.

Can you collect unemployment benefits if already collecting SSI?

I'm having trouble at work and it looks like I'm going to be fired soon. I work part time and collect SSI for a mental health issue. If I get fired will I be able to file for unemployment? Is someone on SSI even eligible for unemployment? Am I eligible for unemployment if I quit before they fire me?
