How many breaks will you get to work a 8 hour shift?
Under the Working Time Directive which applies to most adult workers, including those who work part time, are employed by an agency or if you work as a freelancer, you are entitled to one rest break of 20 minutes if you are employed for more than six hours a day. Therefore, even on a 12 hour shift, you would still only be legally entitled to ONE rest break. For example, if you are given a lunch break of 20 minutes or more, that counts as your full entitlement for that day. The break must also be given to you during your shift and not at the beginning or end of it.
Of course, in a similar fashion to companies who offer more than the minimum wage, most companies will give you more than one break on a 12 hour shift although they are not legally required to. To find out more about your entitlement, you should refer to your employment contract or staff handbook.
However, the rules are different if you're aged 16 or 17. In this instance, if you're required to work for more than 4 ½ hours consecutively, you are entitled to a rest break of 30 minutes. There is also no legal requirement to pay you for your break nor for it to count towards the length of your working day.
Another exception when it comes to the Working Time Directive and rights to breaks is that of PSV and HGV drivers. Their rights to breaks come under the Road Transport (Working Time) Regulations and the Tachograph regulations and tend to be more generous and which need to take into account issues of fatigue. Other light goods vehicle drivers and the likes of minibus drivers are covered by the Working Time Directive but their entitlements are a little more vague referring to the fact that they must get 'adequate rest' in order that fatigue does not cause them to injure themselves or injure others or cause an accident.
If you are working 12 hour shifts, it's also important to state that, by law, you are entitled to a rest period of at least 11 hours after your shift has ended before you can be asked to work again.

What is the difference between performance appraisals and job evaluation?
The performance appraisal simply measures performance, while performance management is used to improve performance.
Performance management and performance appraisals are often confused. These two concepts have many elements in common, but an understanding of the comparisons and dissimilarities is vital for improving performance. The main distinction between the two is that the performance appraisal is a tool, while performance management is a process. While the performance appraisal is a useful tool, it is essential to remember that it is most effective when used within an overall performance management process.
Historyo Human beings have judged the work of others for as long as we have performed work for one another. However, the performance appraisal is a relatively new concept, evolving around the time of World War II. Historically, the performance appraisal was used to justify compensation levels for workers. Over the next several decades, the performance appraisal evolved from a tool commonly used only to reward or punish workers for current performance. It was not until the 1950s that managers and management theorists began to recognize the usefulness of the performance appraisal as a tool used within the overall performance management process. Performance Appraisalo The performance appraisal is a performance measurement tool that measures individual employee performance in a variety of activities. The performance appraisal may measure such aspects of performance as units produced and quality of an individual's overall work. Performance appraisals are also commonly used to document performance issues, including excessive absenteeism or the inability of an individual employee to adhere to policies and procedures. This type of documentation may be used to justify disciplinary action and eventual discharge of problem employees. Additionally, individual employee pay rates and bonuses are commonly tied to performance appraisal scores.Do you need efficient and really applied processes?
Performance Managemento Performance management may be used on an individual, department or organization-wide basis. The main goal of performance management is to improve performance. According to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, performance management consists of several elements, including performance measurement. Performance management begins with the planning of work, followed by monitoring performance and developing employees to ensure they maintain the abilities needed to perform at desired levels. Finally, a performance appraisal or similar rating system is used to rate employee performance and justify rewards for those who meet or exceed expectations.find a job that suits you. because you are the one that has to work. find something that you have always wanted to do. but the way to get the best job for you is to; FINISH SCHOOL! that will help you, for the whole money part. then find something that makes you happy. a job where you can do what you like; and only you! remember you are working, not everyone else. :)

Yes, this is all quite true but they were children's games. Jobs (occupations) depended on your class and, of all things, your size. Lower class children would often be employed in occupantions where adults were just too large. Chinmey sweeps used small chidren to climb inside the chimney to free obstructions (often whilst a fire was still in the hearth). Chidrwen were also used as professional mourners (to evoke sympathyP particularly when the deceased was a child. Min works were another favourite for the small workings adults could not reach. Before steam power, children often walked on large stepped wheels to power certain machinery. In rural areas, children worked on the family farm (if landed gentry) or on the Nobleman's farm if they belonged to the 'tenant' class. Of course the criminal element often employed children to get into house through small windows to let the cracksman in. All of this happened in the civilized world up into the first half of the 20th century and still happens in Third World countries. In more recent times, laws have been introduced in First World countries to limit the type and hours of a minors occupations.
What sort of job could I have?
The best thing to do is write a list of things that you are good at, things you are not so good at, things you enjoy doing and things that you absolutely hate doing. The best things that are right for someone is something they enjoy doing. You have to be at work for 40+ hours a week, so you might as well be happy. If you are still lost, there are career aptitude tests that you can take. From what I have found is that the things I enjoy doing, those were the choices highest on my list. =)

Is a patient care tech better paid than a medical assistant?
To be hired as a Patient Care Technician ANYWHERE you have to be a Certified Nursing Assistant/Aide first. I am a Certified Patient Care Technician. Research the school you are looking at and make SURE they give you the Certified Nursing Assistant/Aide Certification test along with your Patient Care Technician Certification! I took the Patient Care Technician program at a Business school in Michigan and passed the Certification test administered by NCCTINC ( GO TO www.NCCTINC.com ) I could not get a job anywhere except Davita Dialysis. A Dialysis Technician/Patient Care Technician, where requirements to be hired are: a High School Diploma or GED, and a CPR Certification (where you can take a short class at your local red cross to get CPR Certified). Every Patient Care Technician job at a hospital requires Nurse Aide/Assistant Certification. CERTIFIED NURSE ASSISTANTS DO THE DIRTY WORK NURSES DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR: ASSIST WITH PERSONAL CARE, SHOWER, CLEAN UP BOWEL MOVEMENT, BLOOD, OR URINE MESSES, HELP WITH EVERYTHING A SICK, DISABLED, OR THE ELDERLY NEED HELP WITH. A CERTIFIED PATIENT CARE TECHNICIAN DOES ALL THAT PLUS CAN DO CATHETER CARE, COLOSTOMY CARE, CARE WITH ANY TUBING COMING OUT OF THE BODY THAT NURSING ASSISTANTS CANT TOUCH. IT DEPENDS ON THE STATE, SOME PCT'S (OR ALSO CALLED PATIENT CARE ASSOCIATES) CAN GIVE MEDICATION, DRAW BLOOD, PUT IN AND SET UP INTRAVENOUS INFUSIONS ( IV'S), AND OTHER MORE SERIOUS THINGS. Most Nurse Aides are trained to become Patient care Technician's, there is NO NEED TO PAY MONEY FOR A CERTIFICATION AS A PATIENT CARE TECHNICIAN UNLESS YOU RECIEVE THE NURSE ASSISTANT/AIDE CERTIFICATION WITH IT! I wish I would of researched schools first accept just going to one that sounded good.
