  • A Caseworker's Guide to Processing Cases with Israel
    Page 1 of 27 A Caseworker’s Guide to Processing Cases with Israel “A Caseworker’s Guide to Processing Cases with Israel” provides contact and policy information and describes basic requirements for forms and procedures for use in cases between Israel and U.S. jurisdictions. Israel and the U.S. entered into a federal-level Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) under the terms of which Israel and the United States each express its intent to process child support requests for the other. The MOU provides for an initial period of three years effective February 5, 2009 through February 4, 2012. It continues in effect unless either side notifies the other that it wishes to end its cooperation. An initial period was agreed to because of Israel’s need to evaluate the number of cases coming from the U.S. and the cost of providing free services in these cases. Pursuant to this MOU, Israel has been declared a foreign reciprocating country according to section 459A of the Social Security Act (Act). Israel’s procedures conform substantially with the mandatory elements set forth in section 459A(b)(1) of the Act. Similar to U.S. procedures, Israel will enforce spousal support under the MOU only if the spousal support was entered together with a child support order. The Central Authority for Israel is the Legal Aid Department of the Ministry of Justice. This office was appointed as the Central Authority with respect to the United Nations Convention on Recovery of Maintenance Abroad (New York, 1956). Accordingly, the office has considerable experience working with international child support cases.

  • Fresh Study from Sweden Indicates Major Changes for Office Life Post-Corona the Pandemic Has Radically Changed How, When, and Where People Want to Work in the Future
    Press release, Gothenburg, June 8, 2021 Fresh study from Sweden indicates major changes for office life post-corona The pandemic has radically changed how, when, and where people want to work in the future. As digitalization opens up for more flexibility, working 9-5 from Monday to Friday at the office will soon be a thing of the past. These and more findings are available in the new report Working life of the future, produced by Castellum, one of Scandinavia’s leading real estate companies and the largest provider of office workspace in the Nordic region. -The report is based on a unique study of 2,000 Swedish office workers but we are convinced that its core results are universal, says Malin Engelbrecht, Head of Strategic Inititatives. While the vaccine is being rolled out around the world, many companies face challenges in adapting their workplaces to the new normal. But what do employees really expect, and how has the perception of an attractive workplace changed during the pandemic? Castellum asked 2,000 office workers and present the results in the report “Working life of the future”, which is now available online. The report focuses on driving factors and how they may influence people’s expectations of employers in the near future. How has the pandemic affected our attitudes to working life? What habits and behaviors have changed – and which would we like to see continue? And perhaps most important: how can employers ensure they are attractive post-pandemic? Here are 5 key insights: • Full-time employment is rated considerably

  • The Office” Sample Script
    “THE OFFICE” SAMPLE SCRIPT “The Masseuse” by John Chang [email protected] FADE IN: INT. OFFICE – MORNING MICHAEL enters and stops by PAM’S desk. MICHAEL Morning, Pam. Did you catch the ‘L Word’ last night? PAM No. I missed it. MICHAEL It was a great episode. Tim found out that Jenny was cheating on him with Marina, and Dana and Lara broke up. But the whole thing was totally unbelievable. PAM Why? MICHAEL Because. There’s no way that lesbians are that hot in real life. I know that we all have our fantasies about a pair of hot lesbian chicks making out with each other, but that’s just not how it is in the real world. PAM Um, o-kay. MICHAEL I mean, seriously, Pam. There’s no way in a million years that a smoking hot lesbian babe would come up to you and ask you out on a date. It just wouldn’t happen. I mean, I’m sure you must be very attractive to plenty of lesbians out there, but let’s face facts: they don’t look like Jennifer Beals, they look like Rosie O’Donnell. 2 MICHAEL (cont’d) That’s why the ‘L Word’ is just a TV show, and this is real life. And Pam, for what it’s worth, if you were a lesbian, you’d be one of the hotter ones. PAM Um, thanks. As Michael heads for his office, Pam turns to the camera. Her expression asks, “Did he just say that?” END TEASER INT. OFFICE - DAY It’s business as usual, when the entrance of an extremely attractive young woman (MARCI) interrupts the office’s normal placid calm.

  • Sustainable Business Transformation Through Workspace Innovation
    Sustainable Business Transformation through Workspace Innovation A Sabre Holdings Case Study EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Sabre Holdings Flexspace1 case study is designed to provide information and insight on the implementation of a holistic and multi-regional flexible workspace program, with detailed descriptions of the various phases of execution. The objective is to share challenges and best practices with Corporate Real Estate and Sustainability professionals across all industries who are looking to develop similar programs or extend existing programs in support of cost savings goals, space consolidation plans and environmental sustainability initiatives. By shifting to an alternative, flexible space model where only a percentage of cubicles were assigned and others remained available for “flexible use”, Sabre was able to achieve significant savings within 18-months, reducing global real estate costs by 25 percent and ultimately create a sustainable enterprise transformation for value beyond the bottom line. The concept of shared or flexible workspace has been discussed for years in the “Flexspace created a corporate real estate world, primarily as a way for firms dominated by so-called physical environment of road warriors — who are rarely in the office — to trim real estate costs. The concept, often called “hoteling” gives employees a landing pad for occasional flexibility and agility in the visits to the office, including little other than a generic desk and a phone, and workplace which positively enables a company to offer a temporary work space while avoiding the expense for office space that would otherwise sit empty. influenced our company’s Flexible and efficient workspace programs are also now an integral part of many innovative and spirited corporations’ environmental sustainability strategies given that real estate and culture, something that is facilities are one of the greatest areas of opportunity for a corporation to reduce its environmental footprint.
