Send report:
In this sweeping history, bestselling author Amy Chua explains how globally dominant empires—or hyperpowers—rise and why they fall. In a series of brilliant chapter-length studies, she examines the most powerful cultures in history—from the ancient empires of Persia and China to the recent global empires of England and the United States—and reveals the reasons behind their success, as well as the roots of their ultimate demise.Chua's analysis uncovers a fascinating historical pattern: while policies of tolerance and assimilation toward conquered peoples are essential for an empire to succeed, the multicultural society that results introduces new tensions and instabilities, threatening to pull the empire apart from within. What this means for the United States' uncertain future is the subject of Chua's provocative and surprising conclusion.

Colombian #PartnersYouth share experiences as 2014 Youth Ambassadors to Central Florida
Submitted by admin on
Edited and Published by: Pamela Picon, Intern, Partners of the Americas
Foreword by: Abraham Cisne, Senior Program Officer, Youth Engagement
Partners is proud to highlight that last year´s Youth Ambassadors (YA) program funded by the U.S. State Department was an enormous success, including challenging innovations and involving Partners chapters that haven´t hosted in a long time. The 2014 YA program involved 45 very competitively selected participants from both Venezuela and Colombia who, after a week in Washington, DC, were hosted in three states: Arkansas, Tennessee and Florida. Youth participants ages 15-17 were selected through a process that considered merit, limited income and no previous travel abroad. The program focused on leadership, service/volunteerism, mutual understanding, and long-term engagement. Its sub themes included the environment and public safety.

Partners' Youth Ambassadors Program, a U.S. State Department sponsored cultural exchange program, brings together youths of limited means and/or with limited international experience, ages 15-18, to build understanding among countries, increase leadership skills, and prepare them to be positive agents of change through volunteer service. In 2012, eleven Guyanese youth and two adult Guyanese mentors participated in the program. While in the U.S., they were engaged with local government and civic organizations, built relationships with host families and youths, and participated in skills-based training that enabled and empowered them to mobilize their communities towards positive change. The youth were empowered to build mutual understanding among countries, enhance leadership skills, be conscious minded, expose themselves to cultures in and out of the country, work and relate with each other, be positive agents of change through volunteer service and replicate what they have learned.
Once a Youth Ambassador, Always a Youth Ambassador
Submitted by admin on
I've been a member of the Partners of the Americas' family since my participation on the Youth Ambassadors program in spring 2010-- five years ago. By that time I had just turned fifteen, and I was a junior in High School in Caracas, Venezuela. Now it's been almost two years since I've been living and studying at university in Montpellier, in the south of France.
International exchanges open doors, inspire service in young people
Submitted by admin on
Give a young person the chance to travel, and they'll likely never be the same. I saw this firsthand in the conversations I had with former Youth Ambassadors (YA) and YouthLead SENA participants in a recent 10-day trip to Colombia focusing on productive work meetings with stakeholders such as the U.S. Embassy, Partners Chapters, Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje (SENA), Universidad del Norte and other schools.
Changing the lives of LGBT immigrants in the United States, including my own
Submitted by admin on
It's been approximately five years since I came out to myself as a gay man. It was precisely during my masters studies in the United States, when I was first exposed to a truly open and diverse environment, that I was able to overcome all of my fears and hesitations to admit it. Because of this, when I first learned about the Legislative Fellows Program run by Partners of the Americas, I was doubtful of the impact that this program could have in my personal and professional life, since I'd already "lived the American experience".
Youth are the Leaders of Today! Why Youth Engagement Matters
Submitted by admin on
Youth are often referred to as "the future," or the next generation of leaders. At Partners of the Americas, we firmly believe that youth are leaders in the present. They are dynamic members of our society who actively contribute to the economic, cultural, and social development of our communities.

Environmental protection in the workplace
Not everyone is aware that the environment is polluted by daily work in the office: Incorrect waste separation, annealed light, misprinted paper, etc. The environment can easily be protected with a few measures.

Annie and Clarabel
In The Railway Series and the related Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends, Annie and Clarabel are Thomas's coaches.
Annie travels in front carrying passengers, whilst Clarabel rides behind, capable of taking passengers, luggage and a guard. They have been described by Rev. W. Awdry, their creator, as being old and in need of new paint. However, Thomas loves them dearly and would never dream of being separated from them.
Not only do they carry passengers for Thomas, but they also act as advisors and confidantes. On several occasions they have warned him about potential hazards, and Thomas invariably runs into trouble when he ignores their warnings.
The coaches first appeared in the 1946 book Thomas the Tank Engine, in which they were awarded to Thomas along with his branch line. In this first, brief appearance, they were not named. In Tank Engine Thomas Again (1949), they were given names and their characters were greatly expanded upon. They appeared in the first season of the television programme Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends and have been in every season since.
In the television series, they are a pair of four-wheeled coaches, easily told apart by the fact that their names are painted on their sides. Annie is generally depicted as having a slightly shocked expression, while Clarabel usually appears smiling. In The Railway Series, they are a pair of bogie coaches (i.e. each one is supported on a pair of four-wheeled "trucks").
Their Latin American voice actresses are Patricia Acevedo (Annie) and Rosanelda Aguirre (Clarabel)
In a sense, Annie is actually the oldest character in the Railway Series. Long before Wilbert Awdry wrote the stories, he was a model railway enthusiast. In 1927, while still at school, he built a model coach. In 1948 he constructed models of Thomas and his coaches to run at a local village fair, and so used that 1927 coach as Annie. He built a new coach to represent Clarabel.
Unlike most of the characters in the Railway Series, Annie and Clarabel do not appear to be based upon any specific prototype. However, they are fairly typical of suburban coaches, such as might have been used for branch and secondary services. Christopher Awdry has suggested in a character profile that they may have been rebuilt from older, six-wheeled coaches by The Fat Controller. Unlike most of the engines, the history of Annie and Clarabel before their first appearance in the books has been kept very vague.
The television versions of the characters bear a strong resemblance to coaches of the Metropolitan Railway, part of what is now the London Underground. They are the only coaches with facial features, except for the Narrow Gauge Coaches from Season 4. Annie and Clarabel are also very similar to The Old Coaches from Season 1.
Accusations of sexism
The 1980s saw a number of allegations of sexism levelled at the books, so much so that Birmingham City Council banned the Railway Series from their libraries. The accusations centred around the fact that the engines in the books were almost invariably male, while the coaches were always female. Therefore, the "men" had all the power, while the "women" were entirely passive. Annie and Clarabel, being the most prominent coach characters in the books, were seen as the clearest examples of this allegation.
Defenders of the series pointed out that the coaches were not always passive, and that Annie and Clarabel would often prove to be more perceptive and sensible than Thomas. Britt Allcroft, the producer of the television series, claimed that gender issues were irrelevant. In her words, "Thomas and friends are neither male nor female- they are magic."
Nonetheless, for the fourth season of the television series, it was announced that there would be more female characters than ever before. In actual fact, one female vehicle was introduced along with eleven new male ones - no more than in previous seasons.
The accusations against Annie and Clarabel may even have been in the producers' minds when Season 7 was produced. This featured a new (and notably female) locomotive called Emily, who was given two coaches of her own.

"Our generation is so blessed to have the ability to watch the Mass when we cannot attend personally." – Dan Gorrell (March 29)
"This difficult time is history in the making. All should do their best to record the good and happy events of this time, or else only the bad and melancholy happenings will be recorded." – Dan Gorrell (March 28)
"We are so lucky to have programs like Skype or Zoom that enable us to socialize with our friends and family during this difficult time of separation." – Dan Gorrell (March 27)

"Just listening to the birds singing and watching the plants grow has a whole new meaning in quarantine. Life will go on, life does go on, and life is good now." – ShaLynne Ouellette
"Before the possibility of being quarantined came around, I wasn't getting outside as often as I should have been, but now that I know it could very well occur, I've been gaining a little more fresh air and exercise from being outside."- Lauren Bosack
"It's nice to have so much time to spend with family. My brothers and I like to make movies together, and we're already thinking up an idea for a new movie to film now that we're all home together." – Katherine Milliken

A small fire broke out in the basement of Chabad Headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway on Friday.
Crowds of people were evacuated as the main Shul filled with smoke, early Friday morning, while many residents and guests were davening Shachris prayers.
There were no injuries.
The fire started in one of the Shul's backup lighting battery packs, a source told COLlive.
An employee in the building's offices upstairs told COLlive "the whole building smelled like something was burning," as firefighters climbed to the roof to inspect the building.
He also said the building's electricity had been shut off.
Chanina Sperlin of the CHJCC and Pinny Ringel from Mayor Bill De Blasio's office are both at the site of the fire to assist in the investigation.
The Main Shul remains closed at this time, Chanina Sperlin told COLlive, while they clean up and assess the damage.
"The Shul will be open later in time for Kabbolas Shabbos," Sperlin says.
By 11:45 am the Main Shul was open, Sperlin informed COLlive.

Bengaluru Open set for exciting action
1. Sumit Nagal during a practice session on the eve of the Bengaluru Open at the KSLTA
2. India's Siddharth Vishwakarma in action against fifth seed Antoine Escoffier of France
Bengaluru, Nov 11: Sumit Nagal had registered a fairy-tale victory in the last edition of the Bengaluru Open having felled three seeds enroute to the final before overcoming Jay Clarke of Britain to register his biggest victory of his career. As fate has it, the duo will be facing off in the first round of US $150,000 Bengaluru Open Challenger tomorrow.
While Sumit had met with fluctuating fortunes in the current season and was awarded a Wild Card, Clarke carries the tag of the seventh seed for the tournament. "Last year it was a great match and everybody enjoyed it. I am looking forward tomorrow's match and so is he. Let's see how it goes," said Sumit who had to change his training team and get used to a new team. "I have been working with the new team since September and I feel confident about my game," said the defending champion. "Right now I am not thinking of the title or points. I just want to take it match by match. I am not in any pressure, I just had a good Diwali," added Sumit before rushing off for a practice session.
However, the two have to battle past many challengers in the form of Radu Albot who has been given the top billing and India's very own Prajnesh Gunneswaran who is in superb form. Second seed Marco Trungelliti, third seed Elias Yemer, Marc Polmans (No.5), Quentin Halys (No.6), Filip Peliwo (No.8) will be the other guys to watch out for.
The other Indians in fray include Saketh Myneni, Suraj Prabodh and Adil Kalyanpur with a chance of two others joining the main draw.
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Dr. G Parameshwara along with Karnataka's sporting icon Rohan Bopanna will inaugurate the event.
Meanwhile, Wild Card entrant Siddharth Vishwakarma brought cheers to the Indian camp when he ousted fifth seed Antoine Escoffier of France 7-6 (3), 3-6, 6-3 in a battle that lasted for nearly two hours to advance to the final round of qualifying.
Youssef Hossam of Egypt scripted the biggest upset in the qualifiers when he ousted the top seed Nicola Kuhn of Spain in straight sets 6-2, 7-6 (4) in the second round. India's Mukund Sasi Kumar, seeded seventh also advanced to the third round overwhelming his German opponent Lucas Gerch 6-1, 6-4.

Feb 24, 2015 | ISBN 9781782270416
"Eight years ago, González was branded 'the best-kept secret of Colombian literature' . . . He has since become one of his country's foremost novelists, and In the Beginning Was the Sea – this taut, uncompromising study of the faultlines in all of us – is earning a wide readership. Perhaps it's time to call him something else." — The Guardian
"Gonzalez poetically and comically captures the inevitable destruction of those who live in a world of fantasy and hubris, depicting beauty and despair by turns." — Publishers Weekly
"What makes the characters so recognizable, so uncomfortable and so relevant, particularly in today's hipster-dominated culture, is how their intent to live consciously is thwarted by an utter lack of self-awareness. . . The strength of description, and the menacing tone that runs beneath 'In the Beginning Was the Sea,' however, are ultimately what give the slim novel its haunting power." — The Chicago Tribune
"González impresses with his enactment of initial dream and subsequent nightmare. His tropical idyll is expertly depicted through a succession of richly conveyed sights and sounds… Based on a true story, 'In the Beginning Was the Sea' is a gripping cautionary tale about how hard, cruel reality sooner or later impinges upon our seemingly imperishable fantasies. It is González's first book to be published in English. If this is a measure of what he is capable of, with luck there will be many more." — The Star Tribune
"Aided by a devastatingly evocative translation from Frank Wynne and armed with the skill of a master storyteller, over the course of 200 some odd pages Gonzalez constructs a chilling, brilliantly plotted tale . . . From the very beginning the author, and his translator, transport the reader into a scintillating, unsettling dreamlike world where every sentence comes to life in vibrant detail." — Typographical Era
"[T]he novel leaves its mark… the arresting prose and complex characters shine." — Kirkus Reviews
"Colombian novelist González tells a common story with uncommon economy […] For readers following J's fantasies and hopes, it is impossible not to think of Kafka's K […] González's work has been translated into six languages, but this is his first book to appear in English, an auspicious beginning." — Booklist
"In the Beginning Was the Sea [is] a book that simultaneously works as a political parable, a novel, and a mournful confessional… written in a fashion meant to hold up his own grief and disorientation as its own strange flower, an emotional germination meant both to stand on its own and be inseparable from all that surrounds it, an individual "you," straining to emerge from a ceaseless body of discovery, loss, memory, and their insatiable repetition." — Los Angeles Review of Books
"The lyrical, haunting story has the feel of a fable—a young man and his beautiful wife abandon their hectic, intellectual, night-clubbing life in the city to buy a farm on an undeveloped stretch of coast—while the spare, disquieting prose suggests the start of an art-house horror film." – Daniel Levine, Words Without Borders

FAQs for GRS 2.3, Employee Relations Records
Download all Frequently Asked Questions of Individual GRS Schedules in a PDF
1. How should agencies interpret the disposition instruction found in item 060: "Destroy no sooner than 4 years but no later than 7 years after case is closed"?
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has determined that each agency should select a period between 4 and 7 years as the disposition time frame for all instances of these records, and note it in agency manuals or other official records management documents. For example, Agency A's records officer, after consulting with agency stakeholders, determines that 5 years satisfies the agency's business needs. The records officer then applies that disposition to all of the agency's administrative grievance, adverse action, and performance-based action records, and updates the agency manual and any other relevant agency records management policies. Please note that these items are flexible only within the 4-7-year retention period; they do not allow for longer (or shorter) retention periods based on business need.

Iraq Payroll & HR Insight from a Global Payroll Outsourcing Leader
This guide is a must read before you either outsource your Iraq payroll or build a local HR and Payroll function. As a Global Payroll Provider, Mercans can guarantee your full compliance with all the applicable regulations.
1.0 Doing Business in Iraq
1.1 Investing in Iraq
Broader economic development, long-term fiscal health, and sustained improvements in the overall standard of living still depend on the central government passing major policy reforms. Iraq's largely state-run economy is dominated by the oil sector.
The Iraqi Kurdistan Region's (IKR) autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) passed its own oil law in 2007, and has directly signed contracts to develop IKR energy reserves.
Iraq is making slow progress enacting laws and developing the institutions needed to implement economic policy, and political reforms are still needed to assuage investors' concerns regarding the uncertain business climate, which may have been harmed by the November 2012 standoff between Baghdad and Erbil and the removal of the Central Bank Governor in October 2012.
The government of Iraq is eager to attract additional foreign direct investment, but it faces a number of obstacles including a tenuous political system and concerns about security and societal stability.
Under the Iraqi Constitution, some competencies relevant to the overall investment climate either are shared by the federal government and the regions or are devolved entirely to the regions.
Investment in the IKR operates within the framework of the Kurdistan Region Investment Law (Law 4 of 2006) and the Kurdistan Board of Investment, which is designed to provide incentives to help economic development in areas under the authority of the KRG. Inflation has remained under control since 2006 as security improved. However, Iraqi leaders remain hard pressed to translate macroeconomic gains into an improved standard of living for the Iraqi populace.
1.2 Registrations and Establishing an Entity
Company Registration in Iraq on average takes around 3-4 months.
The requirements/actions for incorporating a limited liability company in the Kurdistan Region include:
- Reservation of name of proposed company at Chamber of Commerce;
- Completed Application Form
- Draft Company Statement/Company Contract (similar to a memorandum of association);
- For each corporate shareholder:
- Certificate of Incorporation;
- Articles of Association/Charter;
- Board Resolution Approving Incorporation Of A Subsidiary In The Kurdistan Region;
- Power of Attorney in favor of a Kurdistan Region Lawyer to undertake
- Incorporation Procedures;
- For each Individual Shareholder:
- Passport Copy;
- Power of Attorney in Favor of a Kurdistan Region Lawyer;
- Lease of Premises in the Kurdistan Region;
- Evidence of Residency of proposed Managing Director in the Kurdistan Region;
- Deposit of Initial Share Capital (Minimum One Million Iraqi Dinars);
- Appointment of Statutory Lawyer;
- Appointment of Statutory Accountant
All documents submitted to the Companies Registry must be in Kurdish, Arabic or accompanied by a translation. Documents signed outside Iraq must be notarized and legalized at the nearest KRG Representation Office or Iraqi Embassy.
The application to establish a company in Kurdistan may be filed in Baghdad, Erbil or Sulaimaniya, and foreigners may own up to 100% of the share capital in any company.
Once the legal entity has been established, to register for payroll the company has to apply to the tax/social security authorities and it may take around 5 working days till completion. A file name for the company will be given after tax/social security inspection visit to the company's premises.
The registration of a limited liability company (LLC) in Baghdad takes about 3-4 months.
The following documents are required for registration of anLLC in Baghdad:
- Power of Attorney (PoA) for the lawyers in Iraq who will undertake the registration procedures in Iraq. This PoA should be legalized by the Iraqi consulate in the country of registration of the company that will hold shares in the local LLC;
- Copies of the relevant license/certificate of establishment or other equivalent of a "certificate of establishment", legalized by the Iraqi consulate in the country of registration of the company that will hold shares in the local LLC;
- Copies of the Articles of Association, or, if none, copy of its certificate of formation and its shareholders certificate, legalized by the Iraqi consulate in the country of registration of the company that will hold shares in the local LLC;
- Letter of authorization by the company to the person who will sign the General Assembly Meetings on behalf of the company;
- Colored copies of the passports of the foreign company's shareholders;
- Colored copy of the passport of the PoA signatory;
- Legible copy of the passport of the individual who will be General Manager of the LLC;
- Letter from a local bank proving the deposit of 100% of the capital (the minimum capital for an LLC is 1,000,000 Iraqi Dinars, which is approximately USD 840);
- Copy of the lease contract for the LLC's business premises in Iraq, legalized by the municipality (this can be provided as the last step); and
- Copies of the IDs of the Iraqi partner (if the Iraqi partner is a legal entity then the corporate documents of the legal entity).
The minimum capital requirement for an LLC according to the law is 1,000,000 Iraqi Dinars for each activity, which is approximately USD 840.
In order to carry out certain business activities in Iraq (e.g. transportation, construction, etc.), it is necessary to apply for specific licenses from the competent Ministry. The licensing process for each necessary license will require approximately 30 hours.
1.3 Banking
It is mandatory to have an in-country bank account in Iraq to process a payroll; however the statutory payments to the applicable authorities can be made in cash, by certified check or through a designated bank.
1.4 Working Week
The working week in Iraq is Sunday to Thursday from 8 am to 5pm.

Dates & Numbers
Dates are usually written in the day, month and year sequence. For example, 5th September 2015.
Numbers are written with a comma to denote thousands and a period to denote fractions.
For example, 2,000.00 IQD (two thousand Iraqi Dinars).
2.0 Tax & Social Security
The tax year in Iraq is 1st January to 31st December.
2.1 Income Tax
Residents and non-residents of Iraq are subject to tax on their income derived from Iraq.
Iraqi nationals are considered residents for tax purposes. In addition, a non-Iraqi national is considered resident for tax purposes if:
• They spend total of six months during a tax year in Iraq; OR
• They reside four consecutive months in Iraq
Tax residents may claim personal allowances.
Most sources of income are considered taxable, unless specifically exempted. This includes directors' fees and employer-paid rent, school fees and relocation expenses.
The following Tax Rates, (after granting the resident the legal allowances) are applicable to individual's income in Iraq:
· 3% up to ID 250,000
· 5% on amounts over ID 250,000 and up to ID 500,000
· 10% on amounts over ID 500,000 and up to ID 1,000,000
· 15% on amounts over ID 1,000,000
Individuals are granted the following deductions and allowances:
• Deductions from salaries received from the private sector equal to the following:
o ID 2,500,000 for the employee himself
o ID 2,000,000 for a non-working wife
o ID 200,000 per child, regardless of the number of children
o ID 300,000 for persons over 63 years old
o ID 3,200,000 for a widow or divorcee and ID400,000 for every child lawfully maintained by such person, regardless of the number of children
· Contributions to a social security system, provident fund medical insurance plan, pension fund or similar fund approved by the tax authorities
· Delegation or overseas allowances received by foreign employees, up to 25% of the basic salary
· The Iraqi tax authorities allow an exemption from tax in relation to 'risk allowances'; in practice, such allowances should not exceed 30% of the basic salary.
In order to obtain such allowances, proper supporting documents are presented to the concerned tax authority in order to be effective; otherwise, the tax authorities shall treat the taxpayer as a 'bachelor' and grant the annual allowance indicated above.
Employers are responsible for and should guarantee the payment of tax. Tax is withheld from the employees' income for each month of the fiscal year. The withheld tax must be sent monthly to the General Commission for Taxes, one of its branches or to an authority designated by the tax authority by the 15th day of the month following the month of withholding.
If the tax is not paid by the due date, an addition of 5% of the tax amount is imposed on the employer after the lapse of 21 days from the due date. This percentage is doubled if the amount is not paid within 21 days after the expiration of the first 21-day period.
At the end of the fiscal year, reconciliation takes place as to the annual staff personal income tax with the total monthly amounts paid during subsequent months.
Foreign tax relief
Income tax paid to a foreign country on income earned in that country may be credited against tax paid to Iraq. The amount of the credit may not exceed the amount of tax assessed in Iraq on the income earned in the foreign country at the rate in effect in Iraq. If taxes paid to a foreign country exceed the amount of this limitation, then the excess taxes may be carried to credit in five consecutive years subject to the limitation in those years.
Income Tax Kurdistan
In the Kurdistan region, the first ID1 million of basic salary is exempt. The amount exceeding IQD1 million is subject to tax at a rate of 5%.
In Kurdistan, the income tax contributions on salaries are required to be paid quarterly, by the 21st day of the following month. Penalties on unpaid or late paid tax generally are limited to an amount of 5% to 10% of the tax liability, up to a maximum per year of IQD 75,000.
2.2 Social Security
Social Security contributions are applied to the salaries and the benefits of both local and expatriate employees after a deduction of a portion of employee allowances (transportation, accommodation, housing and other allowances) up to an amount equaling 30% of the base salary. In general, the rates are 12% for employers and 5% for employees, however for oil and gas companies the contribution rates are 25% for employers and 5% employees.
Social security must be paid within 30 days following each month end.
Any late payment would entail a late payment penalty of 2% of the amount due for each month of delay.
There is no Government Pension Scheme in Iraq or Kurdistan
2.3 Reporting
Reports to the social security department should be sent monthly.
Reports to the Tax Directorate are to be submitted on an annual basis.
When submitting the relevant reports, the Company's registration paper is necessary, together with the name of employee, starting date, salary, allowances, overtime (if applicable), termination date, status, number of children.
The payroll provider on behalf of the client on condition to provide an attestation from the company can submit both monthly and yearly statutory reports.
These reports must be signed and stamped by the employer.
2.4 New Employees
The new start must be registered with the Social Security Authority, however for some nationalities (i.e. Indian, Bangladesh, etc.); an additional registration with the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs has to be completed.
The registration of the New Start has to be done within the first 10 days of joining however this timeframe appears to be flexible.
The details required to set up the New Start are: –
· Company's Registration Number with Social Security and Tax Directorate
· File ID Number
Documents required from Expat New Starts: –
· Passport Copy,
· A Copy of the Residency Card
· Contract of Employment (if available)
· The full name of the Employee
· Position Details
· Salary Details
· Date of Employment etc.
2.5 Leavers
The local authorities should be informed about the termination of the employment contract during the following month after the termination, at the time of submitting the social security contributions.
The final payment should be made within 7 days of the last working day.
The Labour Law includes a comprehensive list of the authorized grounds for termination. They are the following: –
• Mutual written agreement
• Expiry of the term of the contract
• The will of the employee, after following certain procedures
• Incapacity due to illness for more than six months
• Incapacity of the employee amounting to at least 75%; and
• Decline in the establishment's business provided that the Labour Minister has been informed.
The Labour Law also contains provisions concerning termination of illegal employment contracts. In addition, it is possible to terminate an employment contract in accordance with the general principles of the Civil Code.
3.0 Employment Law
On August 17th 2015, the Iraqi Parliament passed a new labour law to replace the old law that had remained unchanged since 1987. It has taken over 10 years to draft and pass.
The main changes were as follows;
• All employees shall be paid in Iraqi currency unless otherwise stated in the employment contract. Wages should also be equal for both men and women for the same type of work.
Working Hours
• The daily working hours shall not exceed 8 hours per day, subject to the exemptions in the Labour Law.
• Each employee shall be entitled to a rest period of no less than 11 consecutive hours of rest between 2 working days.
• Each worker is entitled to at least one rest period per week of no less than 24 consecutive hours. Friday shall be the weekly day of rest and can be exchanged for another day in the week.
• For any overtime that the employee works the pay rate shall be no more than 50% of the usual wage if it is day time work and no less than double the wage if it is night time work, during a day of rest or if it is arduous or harmful work.
Collective Bargaining
• The Unions and federations may conclude collective agreements on behalf of its members if authorized to do so by the employees.
• Individual employment contracts shall be made in writing (three copies are required) and approved by the Legal Competent Authority or Department for the Private Sector, each party receiving a copy and the third copy to be deposited with the party who approved it.
• The employment contract shall be signed for a determined period (only if the determined period is for less than one year) for the performance of a specific job or provision of a service related to work or enterprise ending on a specific date or expected date.
• When an employee decides that they want to resign, they must give their employer at least 30 days' notice. If the employee quits without notice or before the expiry date of the notice period specified, the employee shall pay the employer compensation that is the equivalent of the notice period or a fraction of the notice period.
If the laws are violated the penalties can reach up to 500 000 dinars.
3.1 Holiday Accrual / Calculations
Employees are entitled to fully paid leave on feast days and official holidays fixed by the law, except for a Saturday. Employees may be requested to work these days for any reason in return for a double wage. Feast days and official holidays will not be included in the annual leave.
After one year of service, an employee shall be entitled to at least 20 days leave for each year of work. If an employee is employed in work, which is arduous or harmful to their health they shall be entitled to, at least 30 days leave.
An employee's annual leave will increase by 2 days after 5 years, 2 days after a further 5 years and another 3 days after a further 5 years.
Employees can either take their leave all at once or divide it up.
3.2 Maternity Leave
A female worker is entitled to a 72 days maternity leave at full pay.
A pregnant worker may, by virtue of a medical certificate issued by the competent authority, take the above-mentioned leave, 30 days before her excepted due date and take the remaining days after the delivery.
The competent medical authority may extend the period of the leave for up to 9 months, in the case of a difficult childbirth, the birth of more than one child, or in the event of pre or post-natal complications.
The working mother shall be able at the end of her maternity leave, to go back to the same position or to be employed in a similar position with the same wage.
3.3 Paternity Leave
There are no paternity leave provisions in Iraq.
3.4 Sickness
For every year of work, the worker is entitled to 30 days' sick leave paid by the employer.
3.5 National service
There is no compulsory national service in Iraq.
4.0 Employee Benefits
4.1 Expenses
Each company has its own benefits, for example, multinationals would offer comprehensive packages including accommodation and car allowances.
No specific reports have to be submitted for this.
5.0 Visas & Work Permits
Any foreign national who wishes to enter Iraq for work is required to apply for a visa from the Iraq Embassy or Consulate in their countries of current residence.
A work permit is granted to foreign nationals who have a pre-drawn employment contract with Iraq-based companies, provided that sufficient proof of transfer, position or employment is presented. The foreigner's dependents may also be given residence permits and visas by filing together with the initial application or after approval.
Documents required are as follows-
• An applicant for visa.
• Must hold a passport valid for at least six months.
An applicant for visa must be able to meet the employees living costs during their stay in the Republic of Iraq. An applicant should also present a medical document proving their safety from communicable diseases; otherwise, they are subject to the effective rules and instructions on health safety.
Visas are usually processed in 2 to 4 weeks. Emergency service may be available. For Fee information please contact the Iraq Embassy.
Currently the Embassy of Iraq issues only a single entry visa valid 3 months from the date of issue for a stay up to maximum 30 days. The period of stay can be extended on local application after arrival.

Our March Mad Movie Madness tournament marches on with part 4 of the round of 256.
Due to a mistake on our part (counting is hard), we did not reveal a full slate of 32 matches yesterday. To make up for that deficiency we'll be featuring 24 contests today, and offer a fifth round of 24 tomorrow.
Today's spotlighted matches: Bubby vs. Baby (an intriguing contest between an ancient cult film and a young-ish upstart), Eraserhead vs. Evil Dead II (a very tough matchup for the first round), and Head vs. Vertigo (a quintessential quality vs. weirdness dilemma).
Here's part 1 of the staggered tournament (voting ends today, Mar 12, at midnight).
Part 5 of this round begins tomorrow and ends on 3/16.
You may vote once every 24 hours.

100% agree with all of this.
Ive been thinking a lot about how we - as a society- can start protecting women and children (and sometimes men too) better from violence during separation and in the months after. And the first thing is to cut down and eliminate (as much as possible) false allegations.
I went to at least 6 different family lawyers over the last 2 years. And almost all of them told me the same thing about DV- the courts are desensitized and it wont matter what he was like to me. My current lawyer said that isnt true and it all depends on how I present the evidence of the DV and what my ex does after separation (e.g. anger management etc).
This is the narrative told to most victims of DV- that its so hard to prove if there are no charges. And you it wont matter till trial- IF you even have the money to get there.
There needs to be more protections in place as cases work through to trial- BUT it will only have real impact if the fake and false allegations are dealt with- swiftly and with a real force of law.
More of this. If youre not ready to prove the allegations - or at least attest to them under oath, you dont get to use the spectre of DV as a way to obtain status quo.
