California has a law protecting women who are disabled during pregnancy—known as Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL). This law allows women to take up to 16 weeks of leave for a disability related to pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition. Severe morning sickness is just one example of a disability covered by this law.

All of the Human Resources Department staff (most of which were from the Riverside City office) seemed to have had a meaningful personal and professional experience at the Employment EXPO this past Thursday. Many of us had not been to one of these in the Desert before, and were amazed by the crowds; the organizers estimated that there were 5,000 people in attendance, between the event operating hours of 9 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.

Just a silly child’s taunt, but what happens to those who out-and-out lie about their credentials in resumes. Television investigative programs along with newspapers and magazines have a field day when a person on the national or international scene is discovered to have fabricated education and other credentials. But, what happens to the average person who “puffs-up” their resume in the belief that they need to in order to be competitive for a job.

The news is out now about Monster.com being hacked. Monster has mailed a letter advising a large number of their users that their personal information may have ended up in the hands of phishers. This information may then be used in scams that look like contacts from legitimate sources, your bank or credit card company for example.
