You would think that Obie would address something worthwhile instead of going for a money grab. Vacation is paid in the Bahamas on the same basis as everywhere else. A vacation week is 7 days off and paid for 5.

The real issue that needs to be determined is in respect to part time employees. If you work 3 days a week all year you get (initially) 2 weeks vacation - 10 paid days. A lot of benefits are calculated on the basis of full time work when people are not working full time. This is the issue.

In some countries vacation is simply calculated as a percentage of regular earnings. Two weeks = 4% of your pay. If you work full time this comes to 2 full weeks of pay (10 days).

I agree. You could make employee pay the top unsecured creditor, but all secured creditors would get the the assets that they have liens on first.

So . . . this week . . . A church opened by a Sex Offender . . . . A murderer as a school principal . . . and an immigration officer driving a "getaway" car . . .

I only hope that the immigration officers shift was over and we were not paying her at the time.

I see that the BHTA does not mention the "their tax" - The amount that goes to the Nassau Paradise Island Promotion board and the amounts that go to the Cable Beach and Paradise Island individual boards has also gone from around 6% to 10%. If they are so concerned why no eliminate this fee that they charge to the Guests. The NPIPB is obsolete. Its' best days were over at least 15 years ago.
