Any time I went to the UK for my company, I was still paid my regular US pay check. All my living expenses in the UK were of course paid by my employer. |

I'm guessing you make more than the minimum wage in the UK...The rules on what constitutes business travel are not that difficult to understand for an experienced HR person and should be well within the understanding of a publicly traded company with more than 2500 employees. I find it unbelievable/unconscionable that the company got away with just paying a $3500 fine. Seems like there must be more to this story than has been reported so far. (Could be that the company has some legitimate explanation -- though I can't see what that would be -- or that the company has some friends in high places). |

Nobody in my country can fly.Technically, greaters do have wings, but they lack the stamina to beat their wings long enough for flight. The most they can manage is an assisted jump. |
