I was recently laid off. I received my last paycheck almost immediately, but had to wait awhile to get my two weeks severance check. Are they allowed to take out medical, dental, life insurance, disability on my SEVERANCE check? I understood all that on my last paycheck, but it doesn’t make sense to me on the severance check. Please let me know if this is legit. I really need to deposit this check to pay rent, but I don’t want to if they are doing something wrong.
Yes, they can. Severance is often considered time worked, so you are technically still covered during the severance period and normally will still be expected to pay your share. It only becomes an issue if you have a denied claim during that period (rare).

Ching makes an orange peel marinade for beef; dried tangerine or orange peel is used in many Sichuan stocks and marinades to enhance the flavour of the dish
Ingredients
For the beef
1 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
2 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp clear honey
4 tbsp orange juice
pinch ground white pepper
2 beef fillet steaks
1 tbsp groundnut oil
100g/3½oz fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced
To serve
mixed salad leaves
1 orange, peeled and segmented
1 spring onion, finely sliced (optional)
Method
1. For the marinade, place the rice wine, soy sauce, honey, orange juice and ground white pepper into a large bowl and whisk well to combine. Add the beef steaks, cover the bowl with cling film and leave to marinate for 10-15 minutes in the fridge.
2. Heat a wok until smoking and add the groundnut oil, then add the steaks, reserving the marinade. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, 2-3 minutes for medium, or longer for well-done. Transfer the steaks onto two serving plates, cover with foil and leave to rest for five minutes.
3. Pour the reserved marinade into the wok and cook over a high heat for 30 seconds, or until the sauce is sticky.
4. Add the shiitake mushrooms to the wok and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the mushrooms are softened. Add a splash of water to help create some steam to cook the mushrooms.
5. To serve, remove the foil from the plates and spoon the mushrooms alongside the steaks. Garnish with the orange segments and spring onion, if using, and serve with mixed salad leaves.

Octopus predictor Paul has seemingly decided he does not want to make it into the sushi menu and returned Germany the right to another victory in the World Cup tournament. When given the choice between Germany and Uruguay, who will fight for third place on Saturday, he picked his home team. So far all of Paul’s predictions have proved to be correct. One last prediction left for him this season is who will get the champion’s title on Sunday: Spain or the Netherlands.
