Work Placement Issues Resolved With Sound Reasoning

Business owners depend on placement companies to fill their hiring needs with little hassle. Many people will find permanent work through a business that places them in job positions. The people who do this work will initially interview the candidate to find out exactly what they can and cannot do. This is also a time when they evaluate the employee to see if they will be a good match with the company and its already established employees. Personality is sometimes taken into consideration.

Some placement companies are better at spotting good employees than others. Their main job is to find a position that matches their client's needs; so therefore, both the employer and the employee are equally considered. Some placement companies are temporary and will put someone in a job for, at the least, one day. The positions they offer can sometimes become permanent if that person performs well while in the position. This is something that the employer usually notifies the placement company of early on, so that they know whether to be looking for someone who wants long-term work or a less permanent position.

Permanent position offerings mean that the placement company representative must be somewhat more diligent about who they choose to send out. It may be their prerogative to place people in these positions, but they do not want to keep putting the wrong people in the wrong positions. This can result in a bad reputation for the placement company. Clients will go to other placement agencies if they feel they cannot trust the one they have been using to send them reliable, qualified personnel who do not have an abrasive personality.

When a company is working with clients who do not want permanent positions and only wish to fill in for temporary work, they should concentrate on the temporary employee's skills and the jobs that are available.

Temporary employees do not have to be the friendliest people in the world, but they must be able to work with others; it always helps to have a positive attitude. This is true of all employment opportunities, even temporary work. Many times, people turn to temporary work because they have personal responsibilities that prevent them from having what many consider "normal" job hours and responsibilities. Thankfully, this works out well for everyone involved when companies need extra help in the short term. If you are someone looking for temporary work, or if you are a business owner looking for a temporary employee, look no further than a work placement agency or company for assistance in your search!

3 Issues Affecting Grandparents Raising Grandchildren With Disabilities, and Helpful Resources!

Are you a grandparent of a child with a disability who has recently come to live with you, or who has lived with you for a while? Would you like to learn more about the issues affecting you and others? This article will be discussing issues affecting grandparents, and resources to help you overcome the issues.

According to the Website Raising Your Grandchildren more than 6 million children are living in households headed by grandparents or other relatives. A lot of these children may have disabilities, which may worsen the situation. Below are 3 Issues affecting grandparents which is followed by resources to make your journey a little easier.

Issue 1: Financial Issues

In a study by Minkler & Roe 1993 they found that grandparent headed families have high rates of poverty, which is made worse when the costs of care giving for their grandchildren is added. This study did not take into account the increased cost of caring for a child with disabilities, which I think may cause more economic hardship. While there may be public financial benefits available for children with disabilities, many grandparents are not familiar with these benefits, and may not try and access them.

Issue 2: Health Insurance Issues

Some grandparents insurance may not cover their grandchildren, even if they live with the grandparents; or the insurance company may call the disability a preexisting condition, and refuse to cover the child or the disability.

Issue 3: Difficulty with navigating the special education system to ensure that the child receives an appropriate education

Many grandparents may not understand Federal and State Special Education Laws, which could make it difficult for them to navigate the special education system. Also, some school districts insist that the grandparent must have custody or guardianship, before the grandparent can register the child for school. This is not true, but the information may not be common knowledge.

There are specific issues that grandparents may have related to special education such as not wanting to offend special education personnel while advocating for their grandchild, not knowing what specific remediation the child needs, not understanding what school personnel's responsibility is to provide services that the child needs.

Below are a few resources to help you with the above issues:

1. This document is filled with easy and practical information for grandparents raising a child with a disability. The document is: The Grandparent's and Other Relative Caregiver's Guide to Raising Children with Disabilities, and can be found at: http://www.childrensdefense.org.
