Netherlands: Work and Notice Period:

I am looking to change jobs and have a 1 month notice period. I currently have 1 month of unused vacation time. In the past I have been in similar situations in other countries, where the law allowed for the notice period to overlap the vacation - thus, essentially I lost a month of salary. Can anyone comment on whether this is the same situation here in NL?

United States: American Citizen working in USA on a Foreign Contract:

Hello All. I am a dual citizen of US and Spain and have been working within Europe for the last 10+ years. I may have an opportunity for full time/permanent employment in the USA with a company which is both in the US and in the UK. I was wondering if anyone has any comments or experience with being in the USA on a foreign based employment contract. My goal is to see if I can limit my tax liability by being employed in the UK company however based in the USA, as opposed to being in the US company, as normal. Comments, experiences appreciated. Thx.

United Kingdom: Foreign Vehicle (Spain) Insured in UK?:

I am looking to bring my Spanish registered car to the UK and am wondering if anyone knows if a UK based car insurance company will insure the vehicle (with the foreign reg). {the car is currently un-insured as I have been in the US for the past couple of years} Thanks.

United Kingdom: Lost in London:

Hello All. Just thought I would fire a comment/question/situation out to everyone to see if anyone else is in my position or has any comments... I am an American Citizen who was moved to the UK by my previous employer to work in the UK Branch of the company. Shortly after my arrival, I was made redundant by the company as it went bankrupt (Yes - a telecoms company). This was early last year. Initially after the redundancy I did speak to the Home Office, Immigration and others, to find out if I could stay, for how long and to see if I could be re-employed by someone else, but they didn't quite know what to do with me. I got conflicting answers, if any answer at all. I have given up on finding out from them, although I have noticed that my work permit does state that I can not be employed by any other company. My passport is stamped allowing valid entry until mid-2006. I have already left and returned several times. No problem at the boarder - sometimes they dont ask anything, sometimes they ask if I am still working for the same employer (I say "Sure"). I do have a National Insurance number, and I did pay tax here in the UK last year. I have a bank account, a drivers license and an ISA account. In fact I have recently registered my own Ltd. company. (although I can not apply for a work permit for myself - Ive tried). I have tried to follow the rules, but this telecom slump is killing me and without an income in the last year, I cant play by the rules much longer....I have more recently started to apply for jobs while stating that I DO have the right to work here. I am thinking that with a NI number (and proof of previous employment - P45, P60) I should be able to be employed without raising any eyebrows from the Govt. Any thoughts??? Cheers.
