RE: OT -- training

Title: Message

Generally the way it works (at least in NH)   If you do not hire employee's, give benefits you do not need a tax id. Although alot of companys are very uncomfortable dealing with people without tax id's. If you are by yourself you generally will not need a tax id.  Although it may prove benefitial to have one to make it easier when dealing with larger companies who feel insecure.     "Do not criticize someone until you walked a mile in their shoes, that way when you criticize them, you are a mile a way and have their shoes."

Even though I have money in the budget for such items I have to submit a business case defining the gains to the company and after completing the course with a passing grade the company will reimburse me the expenses for the course only. I also have to sign a waver that I will pay the company back the full cost of the course if I leave their employment before 365 days. Needless to say I pay for everything myself and hope to write it off on taxes if they ever get the bill signed into law. ROR mª¿ªm >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/13/01 11:46AM >>> Just out of curiosity, how many days / weeks of real training did your employer provide you with in the last couple of years? "real" is in quotes, I don't mean the little 1 - 3 day seminars given by CareerTrack and other "training" companies, or management-related stuff like little MBA-flavoured certificates from universities. Oh, and did the amount of training you received match what you were told during your job interview?
