CONTRACTUAL AND WORKING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN USA UK Autori

 The labor market in the United Kingdom has changed a lot during the last few years. The most meaningful data is due to the considerable increase of women who have become essential and to the increase of the number of persons who work part-Time. The field in which a expansion there has been a steep service sector where currently most of the working units are involved. The working contract can be oral, written and even tacit. However for the workers who exceed the 16 hours for week, the employer is held to deliver to the worker, within 13 weeks from the assumption date, a stading document the conditions applicable to the working contract (such a document is not a contract in tightened sense, but he is equipollente to the information that are provided in working contract). The Directive previews that on this document it is figure: the identity of the contracting parts, the place of job, the qualification of the wage-earner or the highly summarized description of its job, the date of beginning of the contract, the duration of the holidays, the duration of the periods of warning that the two parts must observe in case of cessation of the contract, same elements of the salary and the regularity of their deposit, the duration of the job every day a weekly and eventually the indication of contracts national. In particular, the program New Deal magazine is addressed to the young people vacates that receive subsidies from the State; it previews training modules and professional employment between the years old, the greater ones of 25 years, nuclear families mono, and persons with handicap. Information is available at the several Job Centres and the agencies of professional training.

This passage is taken from a German young is dale about his job experience in USA. It points out :  National working contracts don’t exist  Unions don’t have an effective position within society  Rules are very strict in any working sector.

Working conditions were surprisingly similar in the US, with a few exceptions. One is that the environment tends to be simpler. I worked for a long time in a cubicle before I got my own windowless office. Windows are for management and other nontechnical people, regardless of job status. A cubicle is a small compartment built from movable plastic walls. Normally large rooms are subdivided into countless little cubicles, almost all of which have no natural light. You need to read Dilbert by Scott Adams to truly appreciate cubicle culture. Working conditions were surprisingly similar in the US, with a few exceptions.

Americans are massively jealous when you tell them people get six weeks over here. My boss was very understanding; when the Berlin wall fell (Berlin is my home town) I immediately got a week off to fly home. You may be less lucky. This means that you won't see your family and old friends very much anymore. The second exception is vacations. You get two weeks; three after a few years with the company.

Unions have bad reputations and usually don't exist or are have no influence, except in some traditional blue-collar jobs. This means that if your boss decides he no longer likes you he is pretty much free to fire you on the spot and have you escorted off the premises. There was never any question of this happening to me but I have seen it happen to others. For you this would be the end of your stay in the US because your visa is tied to the company.

Smoking is banned in working environents and nearly everywhere else, except outside and in your own home. Having worked with smokers before this was great for me. Smokers are now having a hard time in Europe too, but in the US they are really serious about this. If you smoke and can't kick your habit you'll suffer in the US.
