- With a job your earning potential is limited.\n- All your additional struggles and efforts will contribute for you company growth.\n- But rememeber, not no matter how loyal you are to company, you will be sent to home without any reason. Because you are an employee.\n- But business is different.\n- How great effort you put in  your company, all for you only.\n- You can employ people, you can become your boss.\n- You can take decisions as you want and you can find total freedom and unlimited earning potential as the company grows large scale.\n- All the best.\n---------------

The advantages of being on salary:\nYou always know how much your check will be.\nIf you have to take off a few days you still get the same amount of money.\n\nDisadvantages:\nIf you work overtime you don't get paid more.\nYou may end up working longer hours than normal on occassion.\n\nThe advantages to hourly:\nIf you have to work overtime you are paid well for it unless you are on flex pay then the overtime is horrible at a half time rate.\nYou won't have to work as often as the salaried folks.\n\nDisadvantages:\nCheck is not consistant.\nMay not get enough hours.\nIf you take a few days off it will hurt your check.

When you no longer challenged or learning, or there is some other issue that outweighs the benefits of your job.\n\nThe first thing I would try is making changes with-in my current job, that will make it more fulfilling.  If making changes, like volunteering for new and challenging tasks, does not improve your outlook about your position it is time to move on.\n\nUnless your sanity is at stake or you have a large amount of savings, you should have something lined up when you leave your job.

I think it depends on the individuals  needs, employers needs, and the details of the different plans that available.\n\nhere the order of importants for me.\n\nwork environment\nIf I don't like the work or the people, I find another job. \n\nsalary \nif it high enough you can supplement any employer's plan you fell is weak, on the other hand if the benefits are good enough, you might not need as much of a salary.\n\nmedical\ndental \nvision, \ngym access (if you job is not physically active) \n\npension\n\nI put wellness above pension, because if you don't take care of yourself, you won't life long enough to enjoy a pension.\n\nflexible work hours and time off\nI don't have this as much in my current job as  my brother does. It nice to be able to take off time with little notice.

That depends on the company you work with; if you work for a large company, your benefits package will be pretty comprehensive, but your work might have to be more conservative. Conversly, if you work at a small company, your benefits might not be as comprehensive or more expensive than at a larger company, but you may have more freedom, artistically.

First, the compensation is very good. Second, the environment is a nice place to work with and the most important the employer, the more the employer give motivations to their employees the more the employees will stay in thier company. Got it.

it depends on your determination, skills, ability and knowledge. like for example, if you are a go-getter person, you have a tendency to reach higher goals then you may have multiple projects and aim to get different positions or career to satisfy your curiosity. but if you are an average person, you may tend to stay loyal to the same job you have cause you are at ease with what you got going until it's time for you to retire, unless the company is downsizing and your ability does not meet the quality or performance they are looking for, then you will be the first one to go especially you have the seniority and due to the new approach by bigger company now these days, they rather hired a fresh one than pay you with the same amount and benefits without being counter productive.

I have been self-employed and I have worked in public work both. You have several questions which are extremely relevant and crucial to you if you are considering going into business for yourself. I can give you the information I have from my own employee and employer status and probably it will make more sense if I make lists for you so here is my effort.....\nSelf -employed benefits\nYou are your own taskmaster, you decide what is to be done and when.\nYou are the one in control of how much money you allow for your salary , what your work is worth\nYou have a much better tax break opportunity as everything you put into the buiness you have is taken off the top of your income, somethings must be depreciated but that can be a good thing.\nIf you are ill you can take it easy and still go to work for a short while or hire a temporary employee to help get it taken care of until you are 100%\nIf your child or spouse has a dinner or sporting event you can make things work out so you are free to go or even to coach or direct something.\nYou have more time to become involved in your community as part of the governing body or festivals and such.\nAnd finally if you ever want to be independently comfortable the only way you can do it is by owning and operating your own business because you get all of the money made up front, before anyone or anything else puts their hand into it. You get to keep more of the money you make and not pay so much out in taxes or childcare or the cost of going to work every day has gotten to be staggering these days with just putting fuel in a vehicle.\n\nThe disadvantages of being self-employed\n\nYou are the one responsible to keep the buisness running at a certain level of operation that is acceptable to whomever you are selling your product to, or you won't keep their business very long.\nYou are the one who is going to sacrifice during the lean first few years where your wages are concerned. A lot of people can't take the stress after a year or so and fold. You must always believe you will succeed and never quit unless it is a case of the bank quitting you first! /then be ever careful of the past repeating itself and if it is a ongoing trend then cut your losses and get out before this happens. this way you can start agin with a new venture and the bank will be behind you. Always take care of the ones that you depend upon befre you worry about yourself and you won't ever have to worry about yourself!\nYou have to watch the competition and you have to upgrade to the competitive level or you won't be able to compete and that means death to a business. If you can't upgrade to competetive levels then don't compete, you can't win! Turn to another area of the buiness and expand it or I suppose diversify is the word I am looking for here.\nIf you hire people to work for you, this is a major headache most of the time, because they are going to leave you high and dry when you need them the most if you are not generous to them with a bonus for extra work well done or if they never see you doing the things you make them do. In other words you have to get dirty every day to keep their respect and if you ever have to fire one or lay them off it is a hard thing to do. VERY HARD THING TO DO!\nThere are a lot more but I will stop there due to the forum we are in.\n\nThe benefits of being an employee\nYou don't have to worry about anything except getting there on time, doing a decent job at what ever you are put ot doing, you get to go home and leave it there for the bosses to worry about if it didn't get done on time, and you usually receive benefits of insurance that if you own the business you have to pay through the nose to set up for the employees and you don't usually have very much coverage for yourself.\nYou are ensured by the federal government that the workplace will be safe and non-hazardous to your health.\nYou know how much money you are going to bring home every week

It is better to stay with the current job and look for a new one because there is no guarantee that you will get a job which is better than the old one once you leave your old job. Moreover who knows, the new boss may be more dumber.

I also work in a Union shop. In addition to the benefits you describe, I also am protected from being fired without just cause. I also will not be overlooked for promotion because the boss likes someone else better! I too, enjoy a healthy standard of living because of my collective bargaining agreement. I have sick days and vacation days and personal days. I will get a pension and a 401k plan when I retire. We all know these rights are being attacked in this country today because of the current administrations attitude toward labor in general.

Make sure you are recieving any benefits that may be due to you such as tax credits and family allowances. Its always the same that the hard working people struggle whilst the scroungers get all the benefits
