lineworker apprenticeship two hours away from me. have to pass two tests. the first one is that NJATC test, which is apparently basic algebra and reading comprehension - fine. I need to re-learn how to factor polynomials, but fine.

the second is a... mechanical skills evaluation? which i haven't been able to find any information on yet. Personally I do think my mechanical skills are good, great even, but I may be misinterpreting 'mechanical skills.'

I also need to get a CDL learner's permit, which, okay. okay. I need to google how to do that. I knew it'd be required, but actually butting up against it makes me nervous; it's not like i'll be driving semi trucks but them big trucks do give me the willies. i like sedans because they're low to the ground, and that should tell you everything you need to know here.

i also have to pass a physical, drug screen, and background check. i will probably have to stop smoking weed for a while - tragic but doable. The one thing im a smidge nervous on is the physical. apparently i have to be able to hoist 100 pounds... over my head.

so, uh, physical therapy for the hip first, hit the gym second? at least im on testosterone?

Absolutely 7

7. A Genie granted you 3 nsfw wishes, what are you wishing for and why?

Okay okay okay breath. I have thought about this A LOT. I'm skipping the nsfw portion for some of it. Sorry.

Wish Number 1: I wish I had a "remote" position at a large well-established company that required no actual work from me but still generated a weekly direct deposit paycheck of $10-20k.

This would effectively grant me a steady stream of free money that would be considered legally obtained. I would have paystubs and tax forms and no one at the bank would get suspicious when my account balance just said ∞. Ain't no freedom like wealth.

Wish Number 2: I wish I had perfectly hypnotic eyes. Here's your nsfw portion. The why on this seems pretty self explanatory? I want to be able to make my eyes fill with swirly red spirals like in cartoons, and I want the people the are hypnotized by them to also get red swirls in their eyes while they're in trance.

Wish Number 3: I want complete control over my own ovulation. No periods unless I say so. No fertility unless I say so. I want to be able to get filled to the brim with cum and not have to worry about a goddamn thing.

My one weird trick to fix America is that jobs which provide health insurance should be required to print how much your employer is paying for it— and so how much gross TC you’re losing to it— on your paystub. Most people have no idea just how much cash they’d get back in their pocket if their employer wasn’t paying for health insurance, and this would make single-payer schemes go down a lot easier.

So we all know that Grocery Stores Bad, right? Like second maybe to housing, food is one of the basic things people need to live that currently costs money, and sometimes a lot of money, and that's pretty ethically fucked up. But there are plenty of ways around this, both through the state and outside of it, and I think it's worth talking about. I've especially noticed that folks raised middle-class & folks who have leftist sympathies but currently lucrative jobs have trouble with this, so I put together a handy guide.

Ways to Fight The Commodification Of Food And Also Eat For Free:

Research, utilize, and support your local food banks! Plenty of food banks get funding based on how many people use them, so by getting what you can from a food bank, you're usually helping them stay afloat. Some food banks are means-tested, especially the ones that get federal funding, but often the coolest volunteers will help you wiggle around a way to present your household finances that'll let you qualify (not fraud, mind - just different ways to present the same situation) or not require paystubs/proof of (no) income. Plenty of food banks are not means-tested. Try to find secular food banks, and failing that, low-pressure religious food banks can be great too. Often the "shopping" experience feels a little bit like a food scavenger hunt & they often get fun weird stuff that grocery stores couldn't sell enough of. Consider donating the money you would've budgeted for groceries if you have spare cash, or volunteering if you have spare time.

Check to see if you qualify for food stamps, and apply. Each state administers EBT differently, and will have different rules, but actually taking the step of signing up and de-stigmatizing the use of EBT when you talk to others is important. I've seen too many people assume they made too much money to qualify, miss out on benefits for months, and then get a fair amount when they do. If you wind up consistently having extra SNAP dollars, consider using them on shelf-stable emergency food or (and you're technically not supposed to do this) giving away staples to projects under number 4 based on community need. If you're in a state where benefits don't roll over month-to-month, do a big shopping trip or go to a take-and-bake restaurant like Papa Murphy's on the last day of the month so your excess dollars don't disappear.

Dumpster dive! Every city and state has different laws and regulations on this, and you'll have to decide how to engage with those. Sometimes just asking employees is good - oftentimes especially places that have ready-made food, like pizza and donut shops, differ on both corporate policy on end-of-day disposal and individual employee convictions. Be mindful of padlocks and "no trespassing" signs. For grocery stores, be mindful of expiration dates and packaging conditions. Dumpster diving for food is a thing that takes a lot of personal risk assessment, and especially if you intend to distribute the food to other people, it's important to know what condition that food is in and what risks may come with eating it, BUT generally you're pretty likely to find good quality stuff. Which, speaking of distributing to others, brings me to:

Other free food projects! Food Not Bombs is the big notorious one, but plenty of cities have similar projects that work on similar models (PDX, for example, has a group that broke off so they could serve non-vegan dumpster'd food). Freeboxes and Little Free Libraries often have food pantries for shelf-stable food, and part of the pandemic mutual aid boom was the Free Fridge project. As with food banks, if no secular projects exist in your area, finding the lowest-pressure religious option in your area is a solid route (Sikh Gurdwaras are usually best, Salvation Army worst, imo). Stuff like this is often lowest barrier to entry of the things on this list, and also easiest to be both a contributor and a recipent of the free food. Google is your friend here, but also, these are things that are comparatively easy to start if you don't have resources in your area - don't be afraid to reach out to more established projects nearby to ask about how they got started!

Grow or forage your own food! As opposed to the last thing, this one is pretty high barrier IMO, involving either having land to tend (owned by you, used with permission, or guerilla gardened) or becoming good at plant identification. Honestly, though, you'd be surprised at how many of thr plants around us are edible and tasty - I just had my first acorn muffins this year and they're great! Checking into native plants and low-effort gardening and compost systems and foraging laws and processing what you get can be labor-intensive, so usually I reccomend people pick one familiar thing to start: blackberries, walnuts, acorns, dandelion, even urban fruit trees. This is another thing where knowing your local laws and assessing risk becomes important, but on top of that, connect with local indigenous groups and learn how to respect the land you're engaging with

I'm not mentioning buying local or CSAs or farmers markets here because while a lot of that stuff can be good, it still costs money, and I firmly believe food should be free. That said, you don't have to become a full freegan overnight, or ever, to take these steps. Each thing I've listed is its whole own rabbit hole of research for you to do, especially because all of them will look different in different places.

Ultimately, though, every bit of free food you get or help others get is a load off your wallet and helps build an alternative food system. No one person is going to be able to abolish grocery stores and institute universal free food, but if everyone does what they can to get less money involved in their own food consumption, that makes our non-monetary food systems more robust and resilient. Everything I've mentioned here is also what people turn to during natural disasters or supply chain collapse, and it's worth building these systems up ahead of time so that they're more able to handle the shock of increased demand.

Eat free food. Help other people eat free food. Fight the idea that this should be tied to your income, give back where and when you can, and encourage the people in your life to reduce their dependance on the grocery system.

i have a friend who's an operator. they're always busy and rarely have time to hang out. what exactly do they do all day?

Operators are the IT and management team of the Ranger Union, which requires them to be competant in preforming many vital tasks to keep the Union running smoothly.

They are responsible for maintaining contact with field and area ranger, updating tasks and sending check-ins, sending out emails. organizing disaster responses, filing paperwork with the Pokemon Leauge, purchasing accomodations for traveling Union employees, rehoming displaced and seized pokemon, maintining Union social media accounts, coordinating research teams for largescale projects, forwarding the tag-out-lock-out information for broken equiptment, sending out daily summaries to field teams, filling out or fixing timecards, sending paychecks and paystubs and granting vacation days or sick leave to employees.

These are only a few of the many, many jobs that can be preformed by the operators of the Ranger Union.

Thank you for your query.

If you follow me you probably know that I and my girlfriend have been struggling.

Well… here’s an update.

I’m no longer overdrawn, I have a job now, and we have the car back, but some other things have happened in the meantime.

Our old roommates (whom were the reason we were evicted (they never paid rent, and if they did it wasn’t the total needed and it was late) and never received our security deposit (they painted their room red and let their cat destroy the floors)) fucked us over. They stole one of our TVs- some other miscellaneous things which were ours (including some clothes and various sentimental items) and cut myself and my girlfriend out- saying they refused to pay back what they owed for bills and the apartment.

My girlfriend is now 3200$ in debt to the apartment because of them.

We’re still staying with her parents but they have clearly lost patience with us and want us out, which we want as well.

The apartments we’re trying to enter with a new roommate require 60 days worth of paystubs- which I don’t have currently- and combined we must make about 3x the rent- which they almost do but they need me to reach it.

While this is going on- my dad and stepmother are in Pennsylvania with family, my mother might be tracking me using my phone (which I can’t afford to replace), I do not have my car, and the job I am working at does not provide proper accommodation or understanding for our situation or my disability (I have intense asthma and back and joint problems).

If you can help us we would greatly appreciate it, we both have cashapp, my girlfriend has a Kofi, I do sex work on Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram, and design tattoos occasionally, my girlfriend is an artist and does commissions on Twitter, and we still have a gofundme (albeit we were briefly locked out).

If this post gains any traction, or if anyone messages me asking about any of these things, I will post the links to all of these.

Love y’all ♥️

[nonintuitive]

Trying to rent a cheap mobile home closer to my new job and this rental agency has lost their goddamn minds with the application requirements like "We want your last two paystubs as proof of income AND your last two bank statements AND we're gonna run a criminal background check AND a credit check AND we're gonna want personal references (email and phone number) AND at least 3 years of verified rental history AND we'll need a signed statement that you have never owned a pet in your life AND your meyers-briggs personality test result AND your report card from the 5th grade AND-"

[homenecromancer]

after almost five months, my insurance finally processed the claim for my hysterectomy lmao

rather than ask me to pay the whole "holy shit, this is tens of thousands of dollars" sum, they are asking me to pay "fuck, this is... less than that but still more than my first car cost" (about 10 percent of the initial total)

…whenever they send the actual bill, and not just an update on their website, they'll be getting, in return, a "hey i'm poor as hell fwiw :)". like with paystubs attached if that's what they require, because i shrimply cannot pay the amount of money they want from me

on the bright side i have understandably hit my "out of pocket maximum", aka: now that i am done doing expensive medical things this year, they allege they will pay for "in-network covered services", which translates to whatever they feel like paying for. lmao american health insurance

[doorstoplord]

I’m so excited I could scream!!

I called an apartment complex I was looking forward to and asked if they would accept a letter from HR in lieu of paystubs since I just started, and they said yes!!

I meet the income requirement! I meet the credit requirement!! They’re okay with Jax!! I have a tour on Monday!! Two of the townhomes I was looking at will be open soon!!

This was my favorite apartment because I think it will meet most of my needs as far as mental health and habit building as WELL as having a fucking PATIO!!!

*screaming*

It is literally right next to an interstate so that might be why it’s in my price range but I AM GONNA DO THE THING!! IM FINALLY GONNA GO HOME!! IM FINALLY GOING HOME!!

[pokeheros-drama]

Pokeheroes. A place where you can cheat to your hearts desires but get nuked if you dare to make a desperate cry for help with IRL stuff. 

Sorry Lily_, only Riako is allowed to profit off of users. 💀

I hope you manage to figure something out. I recommend looking into youth groups or LGBTQ+ groups in your area. Some places have shelters you can stay at (usually under the age of 25). Getting a place of your own is actually tougher than you think. Most places-- at least from what I've seen-- require a deposit (generally x3 of your monthly rent), a decent credit score, and a paystub to prove you get paid and can pay the rent (some places might require that you make double or triple of what your monthly rent is). If staying with someone isn't an option, definitely look into shelters. Not sure if you'll see this but best of luck.

Step-by-Step: How to Use a Washington Paycheck Calculator and Paystub Creator for Accurate Payroll

ensuring accurate payroll is critical for both employers and employees. It’s not just about getting the numbers right; it’s about transparency, trust, and compliance with state regulations. For businesses in Washington state, there are unique tax requirements and deductions that must be taken into account. Thankfully, tools like the Washington Paycheck Calculator and Paystub Creator can make this process much easier.

This blog will take you through the step-by-step process of using a Washington paycheck calculator and a paystub creator to ensure accurate payroll, while also highlighting some key features and benefits of free paystub generators.

Why Accuracy Matters in Payroll

Before diving into the technical steps, it's important to understand why payroll accuracy is so vital:

Employee Trust: Employees rely on their paycheck to reflect the correct hours worked, wages, and deductions.

Legal Compliance: Incorrect payroll can lead to penalties, fines, and even lawsuits if not handled properly. Washington, like many states, has its own set of labor laws and tax requirements that need to be adhered to.

Record-Keeping: Accurate payroll records are critical for tax filing, audits, and ensuring compliance with both state and federal laws.

Understanding Washington Payroll Taxes

Washington state has no income tax, but it does have other deductions that must be considered when calculating payroll:

Federal Income Tax: Based on the employee’s W-4 form, the federal income tax must be deducted from each paycheck.

Social Security and Medicare: Employers must withhold 6.2% for Social Security and 1.45% for Medicare from an employee’s wages.

State-Specific Deductions: Washington has unique deductions like the Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) program and workers' compensation insurance, which employers need to account for.

L&I Contributions: Washington businesses also contribute to the Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) for worker safety programs and insurance.

Given the complexity, a Washington paycheck calculator can help you get these numbers right.

Step 1: Gather Essential Payroll Information

Before using any calculator or paystub generator, gather all relevant payroll information:

Employee’s wage: Whether hourly or salaried, you need to know the employee’s rate of pay.

Hours worked: For hourly employees, accurate tracking of hours worked is key.

Overtime (if applicable): Washington follows federal guidelines for overtime pay, which is 1.5 times the regular rate for any hours worked beyond 40 in a week.

Deductions: Know the specific deductions that apply to your employees, such as federal taxes, Medicare, Social Security, PFML, and L&I contributions.

Step 2: Using the Washington Paycheck Calculator

Now that you have the necessary information, it’s time to use a Washington paycheck calculator.

Find a Reliable Calculator: A simple online search will bring up several Washington paycheck calculators. Make sure to choose one that’s up-to-date with state tax regulations. A free paycheck calculator will work just as well as any paid version.

Input Basic Information:

Enter the employee’s gross income (either hourly rate multiplied by hours worked or monthly salary).

Input the pay frequency (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly).

Choose the correct tax filing status based on the employee’s W-4.

Add Deductions:

Input the correct amounts for federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare.

Make sure to also input Washington-specific deductions like PFML and any L&I insurance contributions.

Calculate: Once all fields are filled, click "calculate" to get the net pay. The calculator will provide a breakdown of all taxes and deductions, ensuring an accurate paycheck amount for the employee.

Step 3: Generating Accurate Paystubs with a Paystub Creator

Once you’ve used the Washington paycheck calculator to determine net pay, it’s time to generate paystubs. Paystubs are not just a record of earnings but are also crucial for employees to track their income, taxes paid, and deductions. If you run a small business or work as a freelancer, using a paystub creator can simplify this process.

Here’s how to use a paystub creator effectively:

Choose a Free Paystub Generator: There are many online paystub generators that offer free services. A paystub generator free of charge can still provide all the essential details you need for an accurate and professional-looking paystub.

Enter Employee Information: Fill in basic employee details such as name, address, and Social Security number (or Taxpayer ID).

Input Employer Information: Enter your business details, including the company name, address, and employer identification number (EIN).

Add Earnings and Deductions:

Input the employee’s gross wages as calculated from the paycheck calculator.

Add the taxes and deductions (Social Security, Medicare, PFML, etc.) to ensure that the net pay matches what was calculated earlier.

Review and Generate: Review the paystub to ensure all information is correct, then click “Generate” to create the paystub. Most free paystub generators allow you to download or email the stub directly.

Benefits of Using a Paystub Creator

Using a paystub creator, especially one that’s free, has several benefits for business owners and freelancers:

Time-Saving: A paystub creator automates the process, so you don’t need to manually input all the data or create your own paystubs from scratch.

Professionalism: Automatically generated paystubs look professional and include all the necessary details, such as employer and employee info, earnings, and deductions.

Compliance: Paystub creators ensure that you’re including all legally required deductions and information, helping you stay compliant with state and federal laws.

Record-Keeping: Digital paystubs can be saved for future reference, providing a simple and efficient way to maintain accurate payroll records.

Step 4: Double-Check for Accuracy

Once you’ve created the paystubs using the generator, it’s always a good idea to double-check for any mistakes. Payroll errors can be costly and time-consuming to correct, so ensuring accuracy upfront can save you a lot of hassle.

Here’s a quick checklist to review:

Ensure all employee information is correct (spelling of names, addresses, SSNs, etc.).

Double-check earnings, deductions, and net pay amounts match what was calculated in the paycheck calculator.

Make sure the dates and pay periods are correct.

Step 5: Distribute Paystubs to Employees

Once everything has been reviewed and finalized, you can distribute the paystubs to your employees. Most paystub creators offer options to download the stubs as PDFs, email them directly, or even print them for distribution.

Why Use a Free Paystub Generator?

For small businesses or freelancers, investing in expensive payroll software might not be feasible. That’s where free paystub generators come into play. A paystub generator free of charge offers a cost-effective solution without compromising on quality or compliance.

Some benefits of using a free paystub generator include:

Cost Savings: You don’t have to spend money on software or subscription fees, which is ideal for small businesses and freelancers working with tight budgets.

Easy to Use: These tools are designed for simplicity, allowing you to generate paystubs in just a few steps.

Compliant: Even free generators ensure that your paystubs meet legal requirements, especially with deductions and tax breakdowns.

Conclusion

Accurate payroll is essential for any business, and using tools like the Washington Paycheck Calculator and Paystub Creator can streamline this process. Whether you’re a small business owner, freelancer, or part of a larger organization, these tools help ensure that you’re compliant with Washington state’s tax laws and provide your employees with clear, accurate paystubs. By using a paystub generator free of charge, you can manage payroll efficiently without breaking the bank.

Key Features to Consider When Choosing HR Software for Saudi Arabian Businesses

Choosing the right HR software in Saudi Arabia is essential for businesses to effectively manage their workforce. With the unique labour laws and regulations in the Kingdom, it’s important to select software that meets these specific needs. HR software in Saudi Arabia must handle various tasks like payroll management, employee performance tracking, and recruitment efficiently. It should also be localized to accommodate the Arabic language and the Hijri calendar, ensuring smooth and compliant operations. 

By focusing on the key features that are most relevant to Saudi Arabian businesses, companies can enhance their HR processes, improve employee satisfaction, and maintain legal compliance. This introduction highlights the importance of carefully choosing HR software in Saudi Arabia to ensure that it aligns with the local business environment and meets the specific needs of the workforce.

Here are some key features to consider when choosing HR software for Saudi Arabian businesses.

1. Localization and Compliance: 

It's critical to make sure HR software complies with regional labour laws and regulations when choosing it for Saudi Arabian firms. There are labour laws in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that need to be followed. These laws cover things like working hours, pay, and employee rights. The software needs to be localized, which means that it should be able to easily handle Arabic and the features of the Hijri calendar. Maintaining adherence to local legislation promotes seamless HR operations and helps to prevent legal problems.

2. Payroll Management: 

Robust payroll management tools are essential for efficient HR software. Accurate computation of pay, benefits, deductions, and end-of-service payments are all included in this. With variables like overtime, bonuses, and different allowances, payroll processing in Saudi Arabia is complicated. The software should automate these procedures to cut down on errors and save time. The program should also be able to generate salary files that comply with the WPS (Wage Protection System), which is a requirement in Saudi Arabia.

3. Employee Self-Service: 

Portals for employee self-service should be provided by quality HR software. With the help of this tool, workers may examine their paystubs, request leaves, access their personal information, and amend their information without constantly contacting HR. Employee empowerment is accompanied by a decrease in the administrative workload for HR personnel, freeing them up to concentrate on more strategic duties.

4. Performance Management: 

To monitor and assess employee performance, performance management features are necessary. The program ought to make goal-setting, performance evaluations, and feedback-giving easier. The software must possess sufficient flexibility to integrate diverse appraisal methods and criteria, particularly in Saudi Arabian businesses where cultural issues may impact performance evaluation processes. This promotes fairness and transparency in performance evaluations.

5. Recruitment and Onboarding:

Attracting and keeping talent requires efficient recruitment and onboarding procedures. Managing applications, tracking the hiring process, and posting job openings should all be possible using the HR software. Following selection, the onboarding module ought to facilitate the new hire's smooth integration into the business. This guarantees a smooth transition for new hires and involves document verification, training schedules, and orientation programs.

 Conclusion

Selecting the right HR software in Saudi Arabia is vital for effectively managing a business's workforce. It’s important to choose software that complies with local labour laws and meets the specific needs of Saudi Arabian businesses. Key features to look for include localization to handle Arabic and the Hijri calendar, robust payroll management, and comprehensive employee performance tracking. Additionally, having recruitment and onboarding capabilities ensures a smooth integration of new hires into the company. Using the right HR software in Saudi Arabia helps businesses streamline their HR processes, reduce administrative burdens, and enhance overall efficiency. 

Employee self-service portals are another valuable feature, empowering employees to manage their information and requests independently. This not only improves employee satisfaction but also allows HR staff to focus on more strategic tasks. By considering these key features, businesses can ensure they choose the best HR software in Saudi Arabia to meet their specific requirements. This investment in the right HR software will lead to better management of human resources, compliance with local regulations, and ultimately, a more productive and satisfied workforce.

A Guide to Payroll Services

Managing payroll can be a complex and time-consuming task, especially for small and medium-sized businesses. From calculating salaries and taxes to distributing paychecks and keeping up with regulations, it can quickly become a burden. This is where payroll services come in, offering a comprehensive solution to streamline your HR processes and free up valuable time and resources.

What are Payroll Services?

Payroll services are provided by third-party companies that specialize in handling all aspects of employee compensation. They act as an extension of your HR department, ensuring accurate and timely payments to your employees while adhering to all relevant tax and employment laws.

Benefits of Using Payroll Services:

Accuracy and Efficiency: Payroll services minimize errors in calculations and deductions, ensuring your employees receive the correct net pay and the government receives its due taxes.

Time Savings: Outsourcing payroll frees up your HR team to focus on core strategic initiatives, allowing them to dedicate their time to employee relations, recruitment, and other crucial tasks.

Reduced Costs: While there are associated fees with payroll services, they can often save businesses money in the long run. Eliminating the need for dedicated payroll staff and payroll software can offset the cost, and the service can help avoid costly penalties due to inaccurate tax filings.

Compliance Expertise: Payroll service providers stay up-to-date on complex tax regulations and ensure your business adheres to all federal, state, and local payroll tax requirements.

Automatic Tax Calculations and Filings: Payroll services automatically calculate and deduct taxes from employees' paychecks, taking the burden of manual calculations and timely filings off your shoulders.

Multiple Payment Options: Many services offer various payment options for employees, including direct deposit, pay cards, and paper checks.

Employee Self-Service Portals: Some payroll providers offer employee self-service portals where employees can access paystubs, update personal information, and view tax documents.

Scalability: Payroll services can easily adapt to your growing business, accommodating changes in employee headcount and payroll complexity.

Who Can Benefit from Payroll Services?

Payroll services are a valuable solution for businesses of all sizes, but they are particularly beneficial for:

Small Businesses: Businesses with limited HR resources can leverage payroll services to ensure accuracy and compliance without having to invest in dedicated staff or software.

Startups: Payroll services can help startups navigate the complexities of payroll from the beginning, allowing them to focus on rapid growth and development.

Businesses with Remote Employees: Managing payroll for geographically dispersed employees can be challenging. Payroll services can handle the complexities of different state and local tax regulations.

Businesses with Complex Payroll Needs: Companies with complex payroll structures, such as those with multiple pay rates, bonuses, or commissions, can benefit from the expertise and automation offered by payroll services.

Choosing the Right Payroll Service Provider:

With numerous payroll service providers available, it's important to choose one that meets your specific needs and budget. Here are some factors to consider:

Features and Services Offered: Evaluate the services offered by different providers, such as tax filing, garnishments processing, and employee self-service options.

Pricing Structure: Compare pricing models, which may be based on a flat fee, per-employee fee, or transaction fees.

Security and Data Protection: Ensure the provider has robust security measures in place to protect your employees' sensitive data.

Customer Support: Choose a provider with reliable and responsive customer support to address any questions or issues you may encounter.

Integration with Existing Systems: Consider if the payroll service integrates seamlessly with your existing accounting or HR software.

By carefully evaluating your needs and comparing service providers, you can find a payroll service that streamlines your HR processes, ensures accurate and timely payments, and allows you to focus on growing your business.
