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.
You can be laid off without notice if you are laid off temporarily. In most cases, the law says you are laid off temporarily if you are laid off for 13 weeks or less. But the rules about temporary lay-off are complicated. If you are laid off, get legal advice about whether your lay-off is temporary or permanent.
