Hi there!

Any help is appreciated.

To keep it short, I recently did a little study and a first aid certificate to help me get a job. My provider promised to reimburse me and now for the last few weeks they don't respond to any emails or texts.

It adds up to a decent sum of money and I was really counting on them covering it. I have texts and emails of them confirming that they would, but I'm not really sure how to proceed.

What would you do?

Thanks.

Curious to hear everyone's thoughts.

​

My employer offers paid parental leave for 3 months, and my partner and I are considering taking our baby overseas for a few weeks while I'm on leave.

​

The purpose of the leave would still be to care for and bond with our child, not to work remotely or anything like that.

​

I'm curious what people's views are. Do you think it's ethically fine to travel overseas while receiving employer-funded paid parental leave, or does it go against the spirit of the benefit?

I’m thinking of enrolling in a Cert IV in Fitness (self-paced).

Has anyone had this or a similar course accepted by a job provider to count towards their mutual obligations?

Thank you!
