0000000000000 In the Alaska Marine Statutes found athttp://www.dced.state.ak.us/occ/pub/MarineStatutes.pdfDoes the term 'showing cause' found in 12AAC56.310(c)(10) indicate that the 'cause' must be severe enough to meet the definition of 'for cause' found in 12AAC56.990(a)(35) meaning 'incompetence' as defined in 12AAC56.990(a)(14) or 'misconduct' as defined in 12AAC56.990(a)(17) and therefore invoke the reporting requirements of 12AAC56.310(c)(4)(E) via AS08.62.150(a)(1) or AS08.62.150(a)(6)?

I work for a radio broadcasting company in Detroit. They recruited me from another company for my 35 years of experience and relationships with the major advertising agencies in the market. They recently 'merged' two station's sales staffs together and moved the agency accounts to the other station and our station's staff was told to find new direct business which is not the easiest thing to do in Detroit these days. We are 100% commissioned with a draw against the commission. Needless to say the last several months have left me in the hole owing more than $30k. They recently reduced my draw to almost nothing and it would take almost a year to catch up. If I were to resign would I be obligated to pay back the amount of money I am in the hole?

We would like to ask the following questions on an employment application and would like to know if we can do so legally: 'This position is targeted for adults who are recovering from severe mental illness. Do you wish to declare that you are a member of this target population?' 'Our company is committed to accommodating limitations due to mental health disabilities. You may describe accommodations here or discuss them if you are interviewed.' and 'Have you ever had an episode of violence or threatening violence against another? If so, describe and summarize treatment and recovery process. (This does not necessarily disqualify you from employment.)

Hi, I am being laid off from my company on Oct 31st I will end up getting a lump sum payment to cover 8 weeks. I live in PA, can I apply and get unemployment comp immediately or would I have to wait until the 8 weeks were passed. Also, I am getting a $1600 pension check from a company I worked for before - does this effect what I receive if I apply for Social Security - I am 62 and does it apply to unemployment benefits. thanks
