Plagiarism is the wrongful appropriation and stealing and publication of another author's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions and the representation of them as one's own original work. Plagiarism is considered academic dishonesty and a breach of journalistic ethics.
Being discharged from a job is not the same as being laid off, although one can morph into another, depending on the circumstances. In either case, there are laws that may provide financial help while youâre off work, and offer you protection if your employer acted negligently in releasing you from employment.
Losing employees - whether through layoff, firing, or voluntary resignation - can be stressful for California employers. If you are laying off or firing workers, you have to make sure you don't expose your company to wrongful termination lawsuits. And, you have to follow California's strict rules about final paychecks. For purposes of final pay, accrued vacation includes traditional vacation pay as well as paid time off (PTO).
