Compassionate leave

It is possible, in some cases, for workers to receive compassionate leave if there is a death or serious illness in the family. Larger companies may have policies that will determine this. Such leave in smaller companies is usually determined by the business owner.Workers should find out about the company’s policy in case they face such a situation.The federal government has also established a program for compassionate leave to help support individuals who are assisting family members dealing with terminal illnesses.

Money Matters

Line of credit

A line of credit is a way of borrowing money on an account you have at a bank.Your bank pre-approves an amount of money that it is willing to loan to you.You use the money from that loan account when you need to withdraw more than you have in your account at the bank.Whenever you use your line of credit, the bank charges you interest on the amount you borrow. Each month you pay the interest charges, but you decide if you want to make any repayment of the loan.
