Work in América
NO Some employers offer, in addition to salary, certain benefits
(benefits). The benefits may include

• Medical
• Dental
• Attention to the eye
• Life Insurance
• Retirement
Plan Employers may pay part or all of the costs of these benefits.
The U.S. minimum wage per hour established by
the federal government with effect from July 24,
2009 is 7.25 dollars. If we consider 8 working
hours per day, 40 hours a week, 4 weeks per
month, approximately $ 1,160 per month would
be Americans. If we consider 30 working days per
month on average, we would be talking about an
estimated U.S. $ 1,740.
There are several federal laws that prohibit employers
discriminate against job seekers. Our country's laws prohibit
discrimination by reason of:

• Race, color, religion, national origin and sex —

Civil Rights Act
• Age —Age Discrimination in Employment Act
• Disabilities —Americans with Disabilities Act
What you can expect to get a job

At reporting to work for the first time you are

asked to fill out certain forms, including:
• Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification
Form By law, your employer must ensure that all
newly employed people are eligible to work in the
United States. On his first day of work, you must
complete Form I-9. Within three working days,
your employer must show their identity cards and
documents authorizing him to work.
Acceptable documents include your card of
permanent resident or your Social Security card
without restrictions, along with a license to
drive cars issued by the State where you live.
• Form W-4: (Certificate of withholding tax / the
employee) Your employer must withhold money
from your paycheck and send it to the
government to pay federal taxes. In English this
money is known as withholding tax.
 Work force
Over the last ten years, the EEOC has found that
there have been subtle changes in the
composition of the federal work force. Overall, the
participation rates of women, Hispanic or Latinos,
and Asians have increased slightly. The number of
women in the federal work force rose from 42.3
percent to 44.06 percent; Hispanics / Latinos from
6.81 percent to 7.90 percent; and Asian-Americans
from 5.22 percent to 5.84 percent. The total work
force increased by 15.09 percent.
Additionally, in FY 2009, for the first time since FY
1995, the percentage of people with targeted
disabilities in federal jobs held steady, halting a
13-year decline. However, despite a modest net
gain of 236 employees in FY 2009 over FY 2008,
people with targeted disabilities still remain
below one percent (0.88 percent) of the total
work force. Targeted disabilities include deafness,
blindness, missing extremities, partial or
complete paralysis, convulsive disorders, mental
retardation, mental illness, and distortion of the
limb and/or spine.
In FY 2009, federal employees and applicants filed 16,947
complaints alleging employment discrimination on the basis of
race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age, disability and
reprisal. Unlike the private sector, federal agencies themselves
are responsible for processing and investigating charges of
discrimination filed against them. The average processing time
for conducting investigations rose from 180 days in FY 2008 to
185 days in FY 2009. In addition, the average processing time for
closing complaints was 344 days, an increase from the 336 days
in FY 2008. Of the 6,905 cases closed on the merits, 2.98 percent
resulted in findings of unlawful discrimination. In addition, the
parties entered into settlements in 3,394 complaints, or 21
percent of the total complaint closures.
