 for the calculation of the average headcount in the concerned TBU.
Temporary agency workers occupied by the end-user who do not replace permanent workers only count for the second quarter of 2019. So only the average temporary agency workers occupied between April and June 2019 at the end-user count for the 50/100 thresholds.
Not only must the average headcount reach the statutory thresholds over the reference period in order to establish a WC or a CPPW. The average must also be habitual.Heart of Dakota‘s Resurrection to Reformation is a homeschool program written for ages 10-12. Furthermore, it includes extensions for ages 13-14.

Students take over the reading of more Reading About History living books!
As Charlotte Mason advocated, students at the age of 9 should be more responsible for reading in all subject areas. Why? Well, because simply put, they remember it better. Picture yourself. Would you rather have someone read aloud to you? With you only listening? And then be asked to share what you remember or answer questions about what was read? Or, would you rather have held the book in hand, have read it yourself, and then be asked to share what you remembered or answer questions?
Likewise, if you were required to write what you remembered, would you rather have read it yourself, with book in hand, or had someone else read it to you? Let’s say the reading was about Charlemagne. Would you be more likely to spell ‘Charlemagne’ properly if you read it yourself, or if your parent read it to you? The point is, once you are able to read, it is beneficial to read for yourself. Why? Because it begins to impact your comprehension, your retention, and your writing abilities. Hence, children are the same. Therefore, Carrie wrote Resurrection to Reformation to have students read more of their history on their own.
Students respond to their reading in a variety of ways to help them become well-rounded students!
Students respond to their history readings in a variety of ways, so students can enjoy their strengths and improve their weaknesses. How? Well, first, students give an oral narration by retelling the history reading using oral narration tips. Second, students summarize biographical information about famous men and women from the history reading. Third, students locate the places around the world where famous people made their mark on history. Fourth, students write a written narration to reflect upon the history reading. Carrie made sure to include written narration tips to help.

What study of this period would be complete without a celebration of art and of Shakespeare?
Who could study this time period and not be awed by the visual beauty of art and the written words of Shakespeare?!? Resurrection to Reformation does not disappoint. With Art Appreciation, students enjoy Looking at Pictures to gain a more complete understanding of art. But, they also enjoy picture study more Charlotte Mason style with full-color art gallery pictures. Never will they enter an art gallery ill-equipped to fully appreciate the art gracing the walls. Likewise, Tales of Shakespeare and its accompanying Shakespeare Student Notebook pages help students enjoy Shakespeare. This low-key introduction to Shakespeare is the gift that keeps giving! Why? Well, students who first enjoyed Shakespeare at a young age will likely enjoy it more fully in high school.
At a time when students are growing and changing, a girl and boy study is included!
One of the only things that was constant during the time period of Resurrection to Reformation was change. Likewise, our children are experiencing much change during this time in life. RTR recognizes and honors this! How? Well, two days in each unit are focused on a devotional study about becoming a Godly young man or woman. This devotional Bible study is scheduled for the parent and student to complete and discuss together. At a time where there can be much confusion about this all-important topic, this study gives us as parents a Biblical way to be sure our children get it right.
Formal writing instruction makes a further connection to history with IEW’s Medieval History-Based Writing!
This IEW formal writing program by Lori Verstegan’s adds another important connection to the history theme! No need to watch instructional videos, this writing program provides all you need in the plans. It includes two levels of instruction, checklists, samples, notes, vocabulary cards, and quizzes. The source material for the lessons is provided within the IEW Student Book. Furthermore, it corresponds beautifully with the time period!
Get inspired by Bible Quiet Time!
Hidden Treasures in Philippians. Students move step-by-step through Philippians to lead them to discover timeless truths. Each quiet time also includes a prayer focus, Scripture memory work, and music. Within each unit, students rotate through the 4 parts of prayer: adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication.
Just as the Bible Quiet Time is sure to inspire, Emily Dickinson’s poetry is sure to do the same!
Daily science includes living books’ readings that encourage a love for God’s creation of Earth!
Finally, keep moving forward in language arts and math!
Reading, writing, copywork, spelling, grammar, and math – progress in these areas cannot be stressed enough. With multiple levels of choices in each of these critical areas, students are sure to continue moving forward. Incremental building upon these skills each year is necessary. Consequently, students are not ‘surprised’ by the rigor of upper middle school and high school. Resurrection to Reformation recognizes the importance of taking a student where they are and moving them forward incrementally with purpose.

When you think of seasonality in marketing, you may associate it with B2C businesses. From Black Friday sales to Summer Specials, B2C businesses typically work their promotional activities around significant calendar events. Why? Because it works.
Season-based sales coincide with occasions when consumer emotions are high. At these times, people are celebrating, taking time off work and/or getting together with friends and families. They are also more likely to be shopping. While this clearly makes sense for B2C companies, many B2B businesses neglect seasonal events, as they do not seem as relevant to them. Remember that B2B businesses do not exist in a vacuum, and at the core of B2B companies, is people selling to other people. These people are all affected by seasonality.
The difference with B2B seasonality is that other events will likely also affect consumer business decisions. It’s important to take note of the seasonal shifts that affect your business.
What Seasonality Trends Typically Affect B2B Businesses?
Your prospective leads need to attend business trips, meetings, and events, so it’s important to pay attention to their travel schedule (as much as is feasible). For example, research when and where big industry events are being held, or for existing clients, simply ask them about their schedule. This will give you an idea as to when it is best to get in touch. You don’t want to be one of the hundreds of emails they are likely to have backed up in their inbox when they return to work.
Holiday and school seasons are another important consideration. Many of your prospects will have families at home, and will likely take time off during the regular holiday periods. If the prospects you are dealing with are typically at an age where they are married and likely to have younger children, it also makes sense to take note of school holiday periods. This all comes down to knowing your customer and their behaviour patterns so that you can target them at a time when they are most likely to be responsive.
Weather is one of the most important external factors that shape business buying decisions. Retail, mining, construction and events are some examples of industries that are highly affected by the weather. Decision-makers in these businesses have to consider the changes in seasons when planning their operations and ordering equipment and stock. If you are selling to a business operating in an industry that is affected by the weather, it’s important to ensure you are targeting them at the right time when they need your products or services.
All businesses have yearly budgets to adhere to. It’s important to try to predict when these budget cycles are because prospects are unlikely to respond to a new offering if their budget is already assigned somewhere else. The end of financial year is a good time to target business prospects, as they will likely be coming to the end of a budget cycle and may have budget leftover. If not, they are approaching a new year where they will likely receive a new budget and may be able to consider your offer then. Prospects
