Both have achieved significant distribu .....

.... second all occurred due to human error, and third, they all took place on the night shift. Working shifts, an unsteady schedule, can present many different problems for the men and women who work them. This report is going to highlight some of these problems, and hopefully offer some possible solutions to minimize them. I am also going to examine some European countries, because they seem to be far ahead of the U.S. in recognizing and dealing with the problems associated with shift work. Examined will be safety, physical, and production problems facing both employers and employees. I myself have worked shifts for the l .....

Whether it is decided that an employees is fully excused, or is given s .....

.... What we do not realize, however, is that this amount is not intended to be used as our sole source of income. Unfortunately, the tragic irony is that many of us reach retirement and realize too late how impossible it would be to live by no other means except social security. The reality is, that the program is but one benefit, one addition, and one financial supplement. Its intent is to be combined with other savings, IRA's, retirement funds and the like.
