How much would your take-home pay be calculated from your hourly rate ??

For example, ・ ・ ・
If there is no insurance or any other benefits and it is simply an hourly wage for what you work ?
per hour $ 16 for 4 hours, 5 days a week
how much would be your approximate take home in Hawaii ?
As I recall, Hawaii has a minimum wage of $ 16, and if you work more than 20 hours per week, you are considered eligible for insurance.

$ I think it's a little over 850 per month, depending on the type of tax (you can pay a lot of tax at first and get a tax refund, or you can pay less tax at first and pay the shortfall later)
Also, 4 hours x 5days for the insurance is dangerous
.If you get sick, or you are late due to traffic, or you have to take a day off during off-peak season, depending on your occupation, you may be forced to work shorter hours, and if you do, you will lose your 20hrs and no insurance.
Unless you work full time, your hours are not guaranteed.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Insurance is a BENEFIT, so whether it is required or not does not affect the hourly rate paid.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I am currently staying in Japan.
It is easier to exchange money at vending machine like machines in town than to exchange money in Hawaii.
Or, I am a Central Pacific Bank user and can withdraw up to 100,000 yen a day at ATMs in post offices.
I checked the rate and it is a little better than the machine.
I don't recommend you to exchange money at the bank because of high commission.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Green card renewal

My Green Card will expire at the end of July next year, and I plan to renew it at the end of January, but my mother is currently hospitalized with pneumonia, and in case I have to return to Japan, my stay may be only about a month. In that case, I would like to know if she returned to Japan before the renewal or after the renewal and did not receive the letter. In both cases, should I get the I-551 Stamp? Thank you in advance.

divorce attorney

Excuse me
if you know. How much are attorney's fees for a divorce ? I was wondering what the market rate is.
We had a dispute while we were back in Japan and my husband went back to Hawaii first and closed our joint account ? It disappeared from the internet.
We are not divorced and neither of us has a lawyer.
The money is not in my name because it was jointly owned.
I don't have it against Japan either. I heard that lawyers are there because there is no divorce by agreement.
Can anyone give me some advice?This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

If you don't have any particular property division or custody disputes, you can usually go to court and do the paperwork on your own.
It is a hassle to make copies and all that, but we did it all ourselves because we didn't want to pay legal fees.
There is a competent concierge at the courthouse, so we took the documents there first and asked him to check for any mistakes, etc. The whole thing only cost us a little over $200.I see a lot of bog-standard divorces, so as long as you talk it out on your own, it is possible to get a divorce without an expensive lawyer.

About Private Sales

This is the third time I have used a private seller, but after receiving and replying to an email requesting a purchase, I have not received a reply for two days.
Is this common ?
and how long should I wait at this point?

In the case of private sales on Vivinavi, I have the impression that there are a number of people who are surprisingly insincere.
Some people, like Maru-san, have expressed an interest in purchasing a property, but have lost contact with the seller,
others demand a large reduction in price without hesitation, and some cancel or do not show up right before the purchase ・ ・ ・
Of course there are many sensible people. I think there are many of them.
However, there have been several cases where I have hit the above mentioned people.
I can't help but feel again that there are some people who don't
care or don't realize that there are flesh-and-blood people on the other side of the screen and that one of their actions may offend them.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

# As 4Yamada said, there are many sensible people, but there was one who did not show up at the meeting place date and time.
I won't give my nickname here, but he wanted to exchange mobile numbers, so I didn't think he was lying.

I have experience with private sales, both selling and buying.
To hear from buyers
1, I didn't check what went into my spam holder.
2, I probably deleted it with other mail before checking.
I think these are the main reasons.
If you don't want to lose time on these issues,
prompt the spammer to check his/her mail. or
add the phone number from the second exchange.
Buying and selling is not only a great way to get what you want, but
it is also a great way to meet new people.
I have been able to buy and sell without any problems,
but
I remember the time when I had to travel all the way to Kapolei to buy something
and was turned downeven though we had communicated in advance. This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Reservation for SS number application

I came to Hawaii with an E2 visa. My accountant told me to get a SS number and I tried to make a reservation on the reservation site, but the reservation is not complete unless I enter my driver's license number at the end. I went to the office directly without a driver's license and was told that it was by appointment only. If anyone knows how to make an appointment to apply for a SS number without a driver's license or has any information, I would appreciate it if you could let me know.

The TV remote control batteries
AAA × two
that I replaced less than a month ago ? stopped working
I thought they were gone so I replaced them with new ones ? 💦
I don't know if the batteries I just bought are fully charged ? or not.Don't you think there is no way to check if the battery you just bought is also fully charged ?

That's gone pretty fast, isn't it?
If the batteries have been stored at home for years, it may be possible, but if you just bought them at the store, I think you can trust them to be fully charged.
I use manganese batteries for my remote control. I don't remember when I changed batteries before.
If the remote control sometimes stops working, rotating the batteries around in the remote control will make it work better. I think an oxide film forms on the surface of the battery, which makes it hard to make contact, so this will eliminate the problem.
Another way to check if the remote control is working properly is to look at the transmitting lamp on the tip of the remote control through the camera on your phone. With the human eye, you can't see the light shining, but with a smartphone camera, you can see it blinking.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I was wondering ? how quickly the batteries would run outsince I had just bought them a few days ago.
dry cell batteries are also not a ridiculous amount of money 💦
manganese batteries ?

The Bus operation on Honolulu Marathon day

I am seeking advice on how to get from Waikiki to the airport on the morning of the Honolulu Marathon on December 14.
I couldn't find any information on whether The Bus is operating or not on their website with my English skills.
( Including information on the day, such as whether they are changing their route )
Charlie Taxi said that they only accept phone calls on the day and cannot take reservations in advance, and that they also cannot dispatch cabs to the airport depending on road conditions.
Please let me know if you have any information on bus service or circuits in Waikiki.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I definitely do not recommend buses on Honomala day. They are never on time. And if you are going to the airport, you will have to be on time for your flight.
Taxi is definitely the way to go, HANA Taxi can be reserved in advance and will be there waiting for you on time.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)
