Assimilation. All Janitors were assimilated onto the new pay scale on 1 August 2006 with certain allowances continuing until the results of role analysis were known.
Assimilation. All staff, who are eligible to be paid on the University of Sheffield Grading Scheme, will move from the existing pay scales and spine to the new pay scales and spine on the basis of: their old grade and salary; their new grade as identified through job matching; and agreed procedures. The University is investing circa 4% of the annual pay bill in this move, giving the majority of staff an increase in pay. In general, staff will move to the next point on the new pay spine above their current salary. Staff who are green circled – matched into a grade higher than indicated by their old grade – will move immediately to a point on the higher grade. Staff who are red circled – matched into a grade lower than indicated by their old grade – will have their salaries frozen at their old level and their pay protected for 4 years. During this period, they will be given the opportunity to start a personal development plan, with the intention of either growing their job, or developing themselves so that they are able to move into a higher graded job.
Assimilation. To welcome new people and keep the door open to others in our church and community (unconnected people) who need what we have found in Xxxxx Xxxxxx.
Assimilation. The effective date for the new pay structure is 1st April 2012 with assimilation to the new structure being as follows: Employees, where the minimum of the newly evaluated grade is greater than the current spinal column point on 1st April 2012, will progress to the bottom point of the new grade (Green Circle – salary goes up). Employees whose current spinal column point on 1st April 2012 matches a spinal column point within the new grade, will move directly across into the new grade on that spinal column point (White Circle – salary unchanged). Where under the current grade an increment would have been due as at 1st April 2012, assimilation will reflect that position. Employees, where the maximum of their newly evaluated grade on 1st April 2012 is less than their current spinal column point will be assimilated to the maximum spinal column point of that grade (Red Circle – salary goes down) Casual staff will not be treated differently and will be paid the job evaluated rate for the work that they are employed to do. Upon implementation of the new pay and grading structure, the temporary employee should be paid the new rate for the job. If the grade of the post goes up, the temporary employee should be paid the rate for the job consistent with permanent employees. If the grade goes down, the temporary employee will be given compensation consistent with permanent employees. If the current temporary employment is extended these provisions should continue. If the nature of the temporary employment changes, the new rate for the post should be immediately applied.
Assimilation. Initially, transnationalism was posed as an alternative to assimilation. Assimilation has been defined as the abandonment of one's first culture in favor of a second culture (Korzenny, 1998). It has also been noted, however, that increased integration in to the host country’s society (e.g. citizenship) could lead to more possible avenues for transnational activities (such as bringing one’s family to the United States) (Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, 2010). The technological changes of the current age of mass migration are also making it easier for immigrants to stay in contact with their friends and families back home, through cheap international calling cards and widespread internet access. Remittances, defined as money earned by immigrants working abroad that is sent back home, constitute the monetary and most visible aspect of the non-stop circulation between migrants and their countries of origin (Xxxxxxx, 2008). The World Bank estimated that worldwide remittance flows exceeded $414 billion in 2009, of which $307 billion (74%) was sent to developing countries (Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, & Xxxxxx, 2010). The actual size is believed to be significantly larger due to the informal nature of many remittance channels. Based only on formal records, the total worldwide remittance estimate is more than twice as large as all official foreign aid. The United States is by far the largest source of remittances, with $46 billion in recorded outward flows in 2008 (Ratha, et al., 2010). The literature on remittances and immigration mainly focuses on the socioeconomic process and not the behavior as a risk factor for mental health issues. Thus far, there have been no studies conducted on the influence of remittances on immigrant mental health. A research project that analyzed the effects of remittances on the family members who were left behind found that remittances were less of an issue compared to the family disruption and reduced social support. Remittances were helpful in covering the family’s financial needs, but adults left behind still suffered from stress-related health conditions and loss of psychological support (Lu, 2012). Further research should examine remittances and other financial transfers as a perceived link of social support among families and other social networks. Particularly among refugee youth who have grown up in conflict settings, family connectedness is a key determinant of positive resettlement outcomes. Although it can be a struggle with changing family dynami...
Assimilation ml ~ mn: In eighteenth-century Karamanlidika texts in Eckmann 1950a: 196 (cümne, gömnek). Also in Korkmaz 1956: 72 (gömneni) in twentieth-century south- west dialects and Korkmaz 1977: 93 (düğümnen) in twentieth-century Nevşehir dialect. In Xxxxxxxxx’s texts the phenomenon is attested only in the editions of 1753. τζούµνε [cümne] (KIN1753:iii) (IpK1753:5) ~ τζούµλε [cümle] (KIN1753:10) (IpK1753:vi) ~ cümle ‘total’, κιοµνέκ [gömnek] (IpK1753:119) ~ gömlek ‘shirt’.
Assimilation ml ~ mn: The phenomenon is not attested in any of the other works on Anatolian dialects or Karamanlidika used for this research. In Serapheim’s texts it occurs in the plural suffix mainly in the editions from 1753.
Assimilation. In the wake of post-colonialism it has become common practice to de- nounce the orientalist insights of authors such as the mentioned Bru- mund and Xxxxxxxxxx. The characterisation of Javanese Islam in terms of syncretism carried with it the implication that this religion is not pure Islam and thus that the Javanese are not truly Muslim. As pointed out above such a representation is open to charges of racism. The second manoeuvre to fix the conceptual inconsistency rejects this syncretist Javanese Islam as an orientalist misrepresentation. Instead it argues that Javanese Islam is simply Islam that has assimilated Javanese cultural ele- ments and remnants from the pre-Islamic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, animism and ancestor worship. The presence of pre-Islamic elements in Javanese Islam is thus recognised. However, having been Is- lamised they have come to express Islamic beliefs instead of the original Hindu, Buddhist and other beliefs. Javanese Islam then becomes a “local Islam” (Xxxxxxxx 1989: 69 ff.) or a “native Islam” (Florida 1997). A typical example is the veneration of ancestors and saints. By making offerings and/or reciting prayers at the grave of a saint or ancestor one tries to either avert a certain mishap or obtain a certain desired good or state. As mentioned, this is often described as an instance of ancestor worship, and therefore in conflict with the Islamic principle of tawhid. However, according to the assimilation argument, such veneration has been brought into accordance with the teachings of Islam. The vener- ated saint or ancestor has become a mere focal point for the praise and worship that is ultimately directed to none other than Allah. It is by the hand of Islamic scholars, well versed in Islamic scriptures, that these practices have thus been brought in line with the teachings of Islam. At face value, this argument seems to carry quite some weight. After all, it is more than obvious that there is Islam in Java and undeniably it has assimilated Javanese elements. However, pointing this out does not really solve the issues involved in the conceptualisation of Javanese Islam as a syncretist religion. We will return to the assimilation argument more thoroughly in chapter 6. For now, it suffices to point out that while we are no longer confronted with the problem of a logical inconsistency, another problem has taken its place: that of heresy. We should not lose sight of the fact that what for one Muslim is merely an instan...
Assimilation. The JNCHES Framework Agreement for the Modernisation of Pay Structures was developed in partnership between employers’ and trades unions’ representatives under the arrangements detailed in the June 2001 agreement establishing JNCHES. Appendix F of the Framework Agreement sets out the basic arrangements agreed nationally for how staff should move from present nationally agreed pay scales to new pay structures established under the terms of this Framework Agreement. The interpretation of the Agreement in respect of Academic and Related Staff is governed by a Memorandum of Understanding with the AUT (now UCU). The Framework Agreement recognises the need for HE institutions to negotiate local procedures for the detailed application of these arrangements in partnership with recognised trade unions. The provisions of Appendix F will be implemented and supplemented by the University of Manchester as follows: Assimilation will depend on how an individual’s current substantive salary (current pay at the point of implementation) relates to the pay range for the grade (pay for grade) of their present post as that grade has been determined following job evaluation
1.1 Where current pay matches pay for grade: • The individual will be paid at the point on the new spine equal to their current pay, • The individual’s grade will be confirmed forthwith, • Payment will be backdated to 1 October 2004 or the relevant date of appointment should this be later.
1.2 Where current pay is lower than pay for grade: • The individual will be moved to the appropriate higher grade and will be paid at the bottom of the pay range for that grade with effect from 1 October 2004 or the relevant date of appointment should this be later. • Except that, where the resulting increase in pay exceeds 10%, that increase may be phased over two years in accordance with the National Agreement.
1.3 Where current pay is higher than pay for grade: • The individual continues at their current pay level, on a protected basis, as described in the Pay Protection Policy, after which his/her pay will be reduced to the highest point below the contribution threshold on the pay range appropriate for the post as graded following job evaluation. • Every effort will be made to seek alternative solutions to the protected situation as detailed in 2.4 of the Pay Protection Policy. For the purposes of the above, current pay includes basic salary only and any other allowances that may have been received by a member of staff...
Assimilation. Assimilation is defined as the loss of one’s mother tongue as one’s usual language of communication. In particular, data from the 2001 Census show that the assimilation rate of Francophones in Ontario is increasing.1 The proportion of Francophones in Ontario who use English most often at home rose from 38.8% in 1996 to 40.3% in 2001.
