A. Peace be with you, As a convert to Oriental Orthodoxy and a historian I'll answer this question from the perspective of both in brief. Here's a little item to begin with which I've just snipped from items I've saved previously: ~~~ If you declare your faith as a Roman Catholic, your Church originally shared the apostolic heritage of episcopal succession and continuity of the Orthodox tradition. Lamentably in 451, Pope Leo I attempted to assert the authority of his office as the Bishop of Rome as a universal authority over the whole Church.

A. Well, usually businesses won't remodel the entire establishment at once. They'll usually tackle it one piece at a time. Say it's a factory... they may remodel one department, having those workers work in other departments for that time period, being paid their same rates, then they rotate. If its an office building, and they do it one office at a time, they may just tell the worker for each office at a time to take a day of vacation pay, and that's usually all the time it takes for one office. But yeah, for a big factory style work environment, the business usually won't want to halt production like that and waste money on everyone's vacation pay at the same time. If its like a mom and pop shop, I'm not sure, I think they'd just tell the… [cont.]
