Why are second Saturdays holidays in India?

This practice continues from the British Rule in India since the East India Company regime. The Government of India, however adopted every such administrative system, as set up by the British Rule, even after the independence of India. And the system still continues. However, in the Prime minstership period of Shri Rajev Gandhi the Central Government adopted 5 days' week for adminstrative offices (not operative offices) instead of 6 days' week with every Saturday closed day in Central Government offices on the pattern of the western countries. Of course it was not as a matter of copying other countries, but due to depleting foreign exchange resources due to rising prices of the petroleum products, as India was depending mostly on the import of crude oil.

Why are rates within the experiments called unit rates?

a unit rate is a mathematical term refering to how much or how many to a unit of 1. that was kind of confusing so let me give you an example. if you drove a total of 55 miles in 2 hours. the unit rate would be how many miles you drove in 1 hour, or 1 minute depending on the question.

EXP: your on vacation and your family drove 55 miles in to hours. how many miles did you drive in 1 hour.

55 divided by 2 = 27.5
2 divided by 2 = 1 unit rate = 27.5 over 1

divide by the denominator

What is the minimum amount of employees a company must have before workmans comp is required in Texas?

Workmans Comp is elective in Texas. SO there isn't a mininum number threshold above which you are required to carry workman's comp for your employees. On the other hand you may be required to carry it under a contract or if you are working for a government or private entity that requires it. SOmetimes contracts read that the contractor must "mainatin WC insurance coverage as reaquired by state law". For 8 years I've managed to convince clients that it's not needed. I think that's about to change. I've met my match, a client who is an insurance company... and they DO require it. Charles M Bryant Bryant Forestry Montgomery TX All 50 states require Workers Comp though most if not all have exemptions. In Texas, you can select a Non-Subscription product that's similar to Comp or, if you file the proper forms, opt out entirely. Most if not all states allow you to self-insure if you have enough cash to set aside. Even if you exercise an exemption, you remain liable, so make sure you have plenty of cash for work-related injury claims if you don't carry coverage. Also, even if you don't think your employee would sue, their spouse or minor children who have to get through life on your employee's reduced salary if he has a major injury, or without his salary and companionship if he dies, may present an issue. Texas is a "ladder state," meaning liability goes up the ladder until someone can pay, and General Contractors (which could mean a contractor's clients) are required to either furnish Comp for their contractors who don't have it OR be remain liable without benefit of coverage. It's a risk I wouldn't take - I would require Comp or a similar product like Non-Subscription or Occupational Accident (especially if paired with Contingent Liability) be in place for ALL workers.
