Im concerned about my pay-packed from where i work. ? -

Some of us work in different locations in a job but as for me i work in a supermarket, though when i went to look at my pay packed its got that amount you earn in a week plus the amount of hours you done but if i were to add up the total every week until i got up to 1 year , does that mean it would bring me to the total i earned in a year ?

No. it would bring you to the total that you were paid in the year. What you are paid and what you earn are not necessarily the same.

In with your wage packet you will have a wage slip that shows your gross pay. The gross pay is the amount you earned that week before any deductions such as tax or national insurance. If you add up all the gross pay for each week then that will give you the amount earned for the year. Your wage slip may also have a section that says earnings to date , so that would tell you exactly what you have earned in the current tax year. Remember that the official tax year starts on 5th April. At the end of each tax year you will receive a P60 which is the official confirmation of what has been paid to you in that tax year.

That s the whole year to date thingAlso WTF is a pay-packed ?

Does anyone sell stuff and make good money on Ebay? -

i need to make some extra income like at least 300 a month! I hear people making a 1000 on Ebay...how?? What do they sell and have to sell to continue to make it? I am a stya home mom and need to do something quick

Making 300 per month on eBay is a very achieveable goal for a house wife with kids. What scared me though is you say quick . You need to get on eBay and surf around if you aren t familiar with it. Then buy something, just a $1 item and see how it works. You need to get set up. PayPal and your eBay account linked. Once you are ready, some things to look into would be thrift store, estate sale items. Such as brand name clothing you buy for a few dollars and sell for $10-$25. But you need to do a little homework. Good Luck!

I own my own restaurant. What is the best type of advertising in this economy. TV-Newspaper ads are expensiv -

I am a single parent and do most of my own advertising. This has been a really rough year.

You could start by building your own website for free at http://www.WebStarts.com/?aff=Roshawn

Patty, you don t have to work very hard to convince me that it has been a really rough year in the restaurant industry. One look at the vacancies in strip malls and other properties with for rent signs tells me all I need to know. Chains are closing outlets, franchises are shutting down, expansion plans are being mothballed. The problem, of course, is that in the Great Recession, consumers are cutting back spending and dining out is one of the first luxuries to go.To answer your question directly, I wouldn t spend much time with newspaper advertising, but would instead focus my ad dollars on couponing, either through Val-Pak or Groupon or a similar service. Consumers need to feel they are getting a bargain these days, and a 2-for-1 deal or another level of discount will make you more attractive. See if you can make up the difference through alcohol sales, if possible.Beyond that, though, there are some basic steps that require plenty of your focus. Is your restaurant well enough differentiated in the marketplace? Consumers are still willing to pay for special experiences (a fun atmosphere for their kids, a romantic spot for a special occasion, a paella meal that is cumbersome to cook at home). Without that ability to set yourself apart, you re nowhere. This is also the time to take a hard look at your menu, your cost structure, your staff, just about everything relating to your restaurant. Come in with fresh eyes, ask businesspeople you trust to help you look. I m confident you ll find places you can trim or adjust.The good news is that consumer spending will start coming back in the next 6 months to a year. Hang in there.

The best advertising you could do is getting your food out into the public eye. Go to different events and bring sample foods with you and business cards. Go to your child s school and see if they would let you cater any of their events, you might have to do this for costs but you are getting your food and name in front of hundreds of teachers. You also might try doing the cookout for your child s sports if she or he is in any. Cookouts at your house or in the park.These are all great ways to get your food, ability as a chef, and your name out into the local community. Without the community backing you will not survive.Have fun with it too!!!!

Working the social media websites will help, too. Facebook and Twitter can help build a following. Post specials. Post that you re trying a new dish only available to Facebook friends, etc.Volunteer your restaurant to be a meeting place for a group you belong to, or want to belong to. (depending on your restaurant)Whatever you can do to get the name in front of people; whatever you can do to get people to set foot in your restaurant. Do it.Can you take food to your local radio station? Sometimes the morning drive time DJ s will give you free plugs if you bring them free food.And, if you have a little bit of advertising money, I ve seen Cable Advertising work very well in small communities. I wish you luck.D

You should check out our service, it s called Bluesky Local. We help restaurants to increase sales by automatically delivering coupons to customers via email, text, and Twitter when slow sales conditions are detected.For example, if your restaurant experiences a sales decrease one days when it is raining and/or certain days of the week, Bluesky Local will automatically detect and counteract these conditions by delivering coupons instantly to local customers.BlueskyLocal.com

Money Mailers are good (the envelope you get every few weeks with local advertisements) this lets you target a specific market via regional area.Depending on your target market (e.g. if you re looking at college age kids/budgets you can go to the local university or clubs and hand out flyers with a coupon.)

How do I work out an hourly rate for pound;30,000 pa? -

I am due to start temping and I need to break this down per hour (before deductions) sorry my maths is dreadful!

You need to know how many hours in the standard working week as it varies from company to company. But let s say it was 40 hours per week like mine then you would divide ��30k by 52 weeks to get a weekly salary of ��576.92 and then divide this by the number of hours (in this case 40) to get an hourly rate of ��14.42.But as I said, you need to know the number of hours in the standard week to get the correct figure.

Quick trick to convert an annual salary into an hourly rate... is to knock the thousands off and then divide by two. Roughly 2000 working hours in a year.So... ��30k pa = ��15 per hour or thereabouts, as is shown by those above. This way is just easier!

Yearly: ��30,000 - Monthly: ��1,881 - Weekly: ��427Hours per week: 35 (estimated) = Hourly rate: ��16

Depends on how many hours per week you work.If it is 38 hours, then the hourly rate is:-��30,000/(52*38) = ��15.18i.e. salary/(no. weeks in year * hours per week)

40 hr per week at 52 weeks a year =2080 hrs 30,000/2080=14.42 per hour
