At the same time responsible for this activity is differentiated by the legislation. Persons who allowed someone to work without proper clearance, ie 'On-black', are subjected to much more serious responsibility than persons performing such work. That, in general, and understandable. Thus, informal work is punishable by law.

But what if in the performance of such 'activities' in an accident, in which the employee receives trauma, injury, and without medical care simply can not do? Who will be related to treatment costs money, which will be considerably higher? Available in virtually every person 'Krankenversicherung'; in such cases the cost of treatment does not take over.

Company Tactics

Without doubt, go through this, too. A couple times a month in which to collect the bills due and write checks or pay online. As I was doing some bill payments recently, I realized the tactics of a company uses to reach your customers to pay by the due date. It is very simple: "If you pay by this date, pay this amount. If you pay after that date, pay this amount." Now this was a small project for the sanctioning of pay beyond the expiration date was just a matter of a few cents, but still, I have the point. While other companies may list late charge in percentage terms, this wisely adopted the approach of dollars and cents.

We see here a case where a company crosses the line at critical times between abstract and concrete. Listing percentage rate shows the penalty in the abstract. Sales in dollars and cents, sample sentences in concrete terms. Do not know about you, but I I'm certainly more sensitive to dollars and cents, than a percentage, if I'm late making my payment. How about you: you would feel more motivated to pay on time if it costs $ 1.17, or 2.5% will cost per month? As communicators, we must be attentive to the differences between abstract and concrete.

Sometimes it is a subtle difference, but a critique. Here are a couple of applications of these differences: When you give instructions, try to work on the specific part of the abstract-concrete continuity. For example, if you ask a subordinate to perform a task, then provide details and specifics. In many cases, this could be summarized in four of the five questions: who, what, where and when, and how (we'll get the W fifth in a moment.) Or, if you are selling, the goal of being more concrete than abstract. For example, I have been writing short ads for my book about the newsletters. When writing, I have found that "Communicating results "is not enough by itself – I need to explain what these results can be (and more sales, higher employee retention, and better value for members of renovation). On the other hand, if you want to provide the context , you may find it more productive to move more toward the abstract end of the abstract-concrete continuum. For example, if you are trying to explain a new strategic direction for your organization, you might refer to conceptual issues such as positioning and competitive advantage. This, you will find, is where Why? – The fifth W – fits quite well. In a sales situation, you may want to get a perspective of imagining a new and better future. In this case also would emphasize the abstract rather than concrete. For example, if you are selling a retirement fund, you probably would emphasize the idea of spending more time in tropical islands or the family, Instead of entering actuarial details. Finally, remember that the abstract and concrete representing two ends of a continuum, and you can pick any point between them.

Business Correspondence In English

In recent years, it becomes easier and easier to establish links with various countries. This, of course, applies to business. And it is no secret that in most cases the communication is in English. And correspondence of course, plays a huge role in communicating, because the distances between countries are quite large, and by phone is absolutely impossible to solve all problems.

It is hard to imagine how we could do without just about ten years ago. It would seem that the e-mail messages to write easily format their computer almost without our participation. Wrote, sent, and no problems But it turns out, English has very stringent rules etiquette that must be followed when using email. And especially careful to be someone who conducts business via email. With regard to fax has its own rules.

It turns out that in the English-speaking world rarely faxes are sent without a special front page, which lists the recipient and sender, the date (with all that fax he sets a date for transfer), number of pages and some of what additional information. Besides, you need to know that the number of pages must include a cover page, although it at first sight is an integral part of the fax. Let's talk a bit about the letters They are someone may appear obsolete means of communication, but it is not so. Businesses in the English-speaking world communicate through letters in our time no less than through email. Invitations and greetings, for example, self-respecting businesses send by e-mail only in exceptional cases. Many e-mails and faxes are duplicated in letters. So it has decided to foreigners and for writing letters to comply with a huge number of fairly strict rules. In general, the rules of business writing in English are quite different from the rules in Russian.
