    Is a CAREER Change Needed at YOUR House?
    Are you happy where you are today? The number of folks who appear completely happy in their present career seems very low from all that I read across the news -- TV; newspapers; magazines, Internet websites, etc.Maybe it's just a temporary thing. Instant gratification is more the norm today than ever before. We want it NOW, not later. It's a learning curve for the new graduates from high school and college before reality sets in for the long haul wor
    Mobile based franchising companies must consider the potential eventuality of being sued or named in a lawsuit, which is directed at a franchisee due to a traffic accident while conducting the franchise outlets business operations. In places like New York, California, Washington D.C. the number of lawsuits from traffic accidents are astounding. Without protection and separation from the franchise outlets, a franchisor might unnecessarily open themselves up for liability issues of one of their franchisees.

    It is for this reason that in my franchising agreements are decided to spend special attention to the clauses regarding insurance, limits of liability and operations of vehicles in the franchise business. Below is a copy of the clause that I inserted into our franchise agreements;

    3.21 Insurance

    3.21.1 Limits of Liability

    Prior to the commencement of any operations under this Agreement, Franchisee must maintain, at their sole expense, a business liability, comprehensive and completed operations insurance policy or policies in accordance with standards and specifications set forth in the Confidential Operations Manual, which must include at a minimum the following coverage:

    (a) Comprehensive general liability insurance, in the amount of $100,000 bodily injury per occurrence and $50,000 property damage per occurrence;

    (b) Vehicle insurance in the amount of $100,000 single limit, including comprehensive and collision;

    (c) Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s liability insurance (if Franchisee has employees); and

    (d) Equipment insurance for the value of all The Car Wash Guys equipment. If Franchisee finances the equipment, the lending institution may also require Franchisee to maintain fire/theft/comprehensive insurance for the value of that equipment.

    Finding Jobs Working with Animals
    If you love animals, then you might want to think about starting a job working with animals. However many people just think of veterinarians when they think about working with animals. Veterinarians are not the only way that you can get a job working with animals. Many other different kinds of jobs are out there to work with animals. Some of the other job categories working with animals are care and conservation of wildlife, zoos, and animal training.

    Procurement Contracts
    Procurement refers to the acquisition of goods or commodities by an individual, organization, company, or institution. Most companies have a procurement process in place on a contractual basis.

They are a great assistance to associations that cannot set up their own e-procurement services without delay.A procurement contract is suitable

    Successful Job Search: Don't Eliminate Yourself Prematurely
    When we're looking for work, we read job announcements, newspaper classifieds, and online descriptions carefully, concentrating on every word. Too often, we see that a particular skill or certain experience is sought.With a sinking feeling, we realize that we don't have exactly what the employer is looking for and, regretfully, move on.

    Franchisor shall be named as an additional insured under all insurance policies, as its interests may appear, and contain a waiver by the carrier of all subrogation rights against Franchisor. Maintenance of insurance under this paragraph shall not relieve Franchisee of liability under the default provisions set forth in this Agreement.

    3.21.3 Other Requirements

    Franchisor may, at its discretion, change the required coverage and the limits of liability for Franchisee’s insurance during the term of this Agreement. Franchsior may require Franchisee to increase the minimum limits of coverage to keep pace with regular business practice and prudent insurance custom. In the event Franchisor does this, Franchisee may be paying a higher or lower premium.

    The insurance will not be limited in any way because of any insurance Franchsior maintains. The insurance will not be subject to cancellation except upon twenty (20) days' written notice to Franchsior. Certificates of Franchise’s insurance policies will be kept on deposit with Franchisor. Maintenance of the required insurance will not diminish Franchisees liability to Franchisor under the indemnities contained in this Agreement.
