4 Tips On How To Receive Severance Pay If Unfairly Terminated
When we go to work, it is fair to suggest that we expect to be treated with the same level of respect and understanding as we would treat others. When this doesn't happen and conflict comes into play work can then become a pretty miserable place to be. In worst-case scenarios, people are often forced to resign their positions, or alternatively are suspended or fired under false pretences. When the above happens then it is vital that the services of a highly skilled team of employment attorneys are called upon. They can fight your corner to obtain the compensation you deserve, but only if you follow these four important pointers.Don't succumb to peer pressure
When many companies are faced with a Los Angeles employment lawsuit, they will often look to settle out of court so as not to tarnish their reputation. However generally speaking, the compensation often falls way short of what the employee should be receiving. In the main, termination packages are negotiable, but many employees snap at the first sign of money, either because of peer pressure from friends and family, or alternatively they may simply believe that that is the only deal they are going to be offered. This is often not the case and the first deal on the table always falls way short of the mark anyway. Playing a waiting game in this instance just might help. This is something that a highly skilled employment attorney can help you with.Consult with an expert team of employment lawyers
Any employment lawyer who works solely in this field is by far the best person to represent you. Many other firms may 'dabble' in this field of law, but instead may be more inclined to deal with personal injury cases. Although they may understand the basics around the law, a skilled attorney who works in this field (and this field only) will know the complexities that such a case can bring and as a result will know exactly how to handle it. You could say that it is akin to asking a motor mechanic who deals in engines to fix an electrical fault on your car. You would be far better off going to someone who deals specifically with the electrical side of things.Look to take action before you litigate
One of the best pieces of advice an employment lawyer can give is to try to take action towards finding another job as soon as you can after you have been dismissed. As a victim your unfair dismissal may be a bitter pill to swallow and you could be inclined to simply sit back and wait for the outcome. This approach can be problematic on several fronts. Firstly a victim cannot stay at home and allow their financial losses to accumulate and then seek to claim damages. Secondly, not pouring efforts into finding another form of employment may result in the victim having too much time on their hands to think about what had happened. If you can show a court of law that you are actively seeking alternative employment then they would be more inclined to reimburse you for your efforts should the case be won.Use litigation as a last resort
In terms of costs, litigations can be extremely expensive for both the plaintiff and the defendant. As a result, neither side particularly wants to take an unfair dismissal case all they way to court. Instead a better option for both parties would be to accept a settlement figure out of court. A skilled team of employment attorneys have the ability to be able to negotiate a settlement figure that both parties will be happy with, and as a result, both parties will be able to avoid all the expenses that a court lawsuit can bring. If there is much conflict between employer and employee and a settlement figure cannot be agreed upon, then you then have the option of litigation to fall back on.
In many cases we all have to work with people that we would probably choose not to socialize with, but that doesn't mean to say that they cannot be treated with a certain amount of respect. When an employer/employee relationship turns sour and ends in a wrongful termination, then it is vital that the services of a skilled team of employment attorneys Los Angeles gets called upon to help.

Mexican Ex-Governor Arrested in Italy After Five Years on the Run
A former state governor accused of accepting millions of dollars in bribes from Mexican drug cartels has been arrested in Italy after five years on the run.
Tomás Yarrington, 59, who was governor of the state of Tamaulipas, was arrested in Italy, Mexico's attorney general's office said in a statement on April 9. He is accused of accepting millions in bribes from cartels in exchange for turning a blind eye to narcotics smuggling.
Yarrington was on the run for five years and had a bounty of 15 million Mexican pesos ($800,000) on his head. He is expected to be extradited back to Mexico within days.
U.S. authorities are also pursuing the former governor over allegations that he used the cash to invest in properties in America. According to a 2013 FBI indictment, Yarrington accepted bribes from criminal organizations including the Gulf Cartel, and "allowed them to operate their large scale, multi-ton enterprises freely, which included the smuggling of large quantities of drugs to the U.S for distribution."
It continued: "From 2007 to 2009, Yarrington allegedly became involved in the smuggling of large amounts of cocaine through the Port of Veracruz into the United States."
Mexican authorities have charged him with involvement in organised crime and money laundering, and said his arrest was made possible by an Interpol red notice.

Before he went on the run, Yarrington claimed the charges against him were politically motivated. He was suspended from Mexican President Enrique Nieto's PRI party in 2012.
Yarrington is not the only Mexican governor to have gone on the run. Former Veracruz governor Javier Duarte has been missing since October after being accused of embezzlement, and César Duarte, ex-governor of Chihuahua, was declared a fugitive in March after being accused of corruption.

"Newly modernised hotel with a wonderful view in Lyme Regis; a breath of fresh air in the town"
Review by Fiona Duncan, published 30th July 2009.
After a career in hotel management in London, Africa and the Caribbean, Kathryn Haskins has finally got her hands on the place she coveted the most: her mother's. For 25 years, Nina Haskins ran this venerable Lyme Regis establishment her way, decorated to her taste. Now she's retired, and Kathryn has taken over.
"All traces of my time swept away," laughs Nina, who still works in reception. "But I quite understand. I think Kathryn's done a great job and the fact is that younger as well as older people love it now."
You can see why. The new-look Alexandra has an immediately welcoming yet fresh and airy feel, just right for the riveting view over which it presides. Now there are polished, stripped wood floors, Farrow and Ball paints, cool armchairs and fun handmade lampshades in the large entrance hall, the pretty all-white conservatory, the comfortable sitting room and the gracious, if awkwardly shaped, panelled dining room located in the original house, built in 1735 for Dowager Countess Poulett.
Lyme Regis itself, and the view in particular, are of course the reasons why Kathryn has always loved the Alexandra. Whether relaxing in the bay window of our room, feet up on footstools, or on the garden deck, it's hard to tear our eyes away from a scene that includes an azure expanse of Lyme Bay, a long chunk of Jurassic Coast and the famous harbour wall, the Cobb. It's a view that's equally thrilling on a sunny day or a stormy one, when the waves crash over the top.
My friend Jane, who loves the place with a passion, took me for a walk around the silent town after dinner. We happily re-enacted scenes from The French Lieutenant's Woman and Persuasion on the Cobb (with, I must say, uncanny accuracy), then headed along the pristine beach, recently reconstructed with imported sand from France.
Passing pretty Regency houses, we turned into the high street, packed with particular shops. Is Lyme Regis suffering in the recession? "Retail is down somewhat, but hotels here are all up on last year," reports Kathryn. There are definite signs that people, forced to stay at home, are discovering the delights of their own country, and in the Alexandra they have a more than decent base from which to do it.
We did have some gripes. In the new but mostly tiny bathrooms I wouldn't have bolted the shower gel dispensers to the wall and in the bedrooms (oversized headboards, bold Romo wallpapers, striped blinds) I would have been more generous with the drinks (tea but no coffee, no bottled water). And the food, though locally well thought of, was a disappointment, despite a menu that trumpets its right-on list of local producers. "More Grossman than local," said Jane about her Provencal vegetables. "And more fish n' chips than Japanese," said I about the great slab of battered cod described as "tempura". But those niggles aside, Lyme Regis now has a fitting and fun place to stay.
Pound Street, Lyme Regis (01297 442010; www.hotelalexandra.co.uk) Doubles from £115 per night, including breakfast. Ground rooms for guests with disabilities.
The Hotel Guru verdict
Opt for a sea view poulett or gould room. great beds; tiny bathrooms
Mother and daughter lead the team; cramped parking in front
Fresh and airy; wonderful views
|Food and drink
Average on our visit; standard breakfast buffet
|Value for money
Rooms can feel pricey, but the view compensates

Shell has made an agreed £992.4 million ($1.6 billion) bid for Cove Energy, offering a full price to open up a new gas frontier for the Anglo-Dutch oil major in East Africa.
Shell has offered 195 pence per share in cash, which Cove's directors said on Wednesday they would recommend to shareholders.
On Tuesday, Cove's shares closed at 154.5 pence, and analysts at Citigroup said the "valuation looks stretched" in a research note.
The price is an over 70 per cent premium to Cove's closing share price on January 4, when Cove announced plans to sell, although investors were already betting on a bid at that point.
Cove's main asset is an 8.5 per cent stake in the Rovuma Offshore Area 1, in Mozambique, where operator Anadarko has found over 30 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
Nearby, Italy's Eni has also made major gas finds while, north of the maritime border, Norway's Statoil has made a find in Tanzanian waters.
Shell is the industry leader in freezing natural gas into liquefied natural gas (LNG) for export in tankers around the world, and so a presence in what is expected to emerge as one of the world's major LNG provinces is a logical step.
However, some bankers had questioned whether Cove's stake alone would make sense for an oil major like Shell. Big oil groups like to have material stakes of over 25 per cent in projects.
In addition to Anadarko, Japan's Mitsui and Indian groups Bharat Petroleum and Videocon own minority stakes in the Rovuma license, and the values of these interests could now be marked up.
Cove also has interests in Tanzania and Kenya.
Morgan Stanley advised Shell on the bid, while Standard Chartered advised Cove.

With Britain and America seen to be growing ever closer, Europe appeared to signal a trade war by moving to rush through trade deals across the world.
In a clear indication that Germany is worried about the close ties being forged between President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May, the country urged Brussels to hurry up to tie up deals in the pipeline.
There has been mounting tension already between President Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has been critical of his trade policy. And, while Mrs May was invited to a face to face meeting at the White House this week, Ms Merkel had to make do with a conversation with the new US president over the phone.
Hand in hand
President Trump and Mrs May both talked up the special relationship enjoyed by their two countries, during her visit. And, at one point, Mr Trump was seen taking her hand as the pair walked through the grounds of the White House. President Trump has also said he believes Brexit is a wonderful opportunity.
He told Mrs May that he was honoured to host her at the White House, and also gave reassurances to her that he was committed to NATO, which she sees as the cornerstone of security for the Western world. The two were also expected to have discussed tentative trade deals, although nothing formal can be put in place until Britain actually leaves the EU.
And, in a further sign of the strong ties between the US and the UK, Mrs May revealed during the press conference at the White House that the Queen had invited President Trump and the First Lady to visit her later this year.
By contract, Ms Merkel is said to be becoming increasing upset about not being able to engage with Mr Trump, and she has urged the EU to quickly tie up 12 deals which are in the pipeline with countries across the world.

The One Year® Chronological Bible, NKJV (Tyndale, 2013), March 23
When God opens up a new phase of your life, how should you begin? Joshua had warned the people, "You have not passed this way before" (Josh. 3:4). They are about to enter a new phase of life. What will God require of Israel as they camp at Gilgal and prepare to enter Canaan? Chapter five reveals four clear truths for making the transition to a new phase of life.
A new phase of life requires dedication. After the children of Israel cross the Jordan, now within easy attack by their enemies, God requires them to go through the painful rite of circumcision. This action will leave them vulnerable and thus will require faith that the God who calls them to obedience will protect them as they obey. In response to their faith, God names the place Gilgal, because their reproach has been rolled away.
The new phase also enjoins celebration. After this difficult time of dedication, God leads Israel to celebrate the Passover. Passover celebration reminds Israel of God's deliverance by power and by blood—the innocent on behalf of the guilty. Israel again remembers God's miraculous redemption.
God, in this the phase, creates motivation. The manna that had been their staple for forty years—many in this generation had never eaten anything else—ceases after they celebrate the Passover. In order to eat, they must take the land.
God also commands commemoration. The altar made of twelve stones removed from the midst of the Jordan will stand as a continual reminder of God's intervention on Israel's behalf.
Finally, God, in this transition, provides illumination. No longer does He lead Israel by cloud and fire; rather He reveals that He is the commander of the army of the LORD. And make no mistake, this is the LORD Himself, for He demands that Joshua remove his shoes just as He had commanded Moses to remove his forty years earlier. God illuminates that His revelation always fits His people's specific needs. When they need light by night, He is cloud and fire; as they prepare to go into battle, He is the warrior God.
Are you facing a new phase of life? That new phase of life will require dedication to do His will, celebration to remember His goodness in the past, motivation to trust Him to provide your needs, commemoration of God's past activity, and illumination—a fresh word from the Word.
Questions from today's reading (Joshua 3:1-6:27):
Why must the ark of the covenant precede Israel in crossing over the Jordan?
How does the LORD's appearance as Israel's military captain encourage Joshua?
What does the LORD's military strategy require of Israel?
Why does the LORD lead Israel in this way?
What does Israel learn about God through this process?
