Or to the wastebasket.

What does being put on restricted duty have to do with eligibility for FMLA? Is the employer too small (less than 50 employees at your job location or within a 75-mile radius) to be subject to the Act? You cannot be fired BECAUSE you filed a Work Comp claim. You CAN be fired if you are...

Does FMLA apply?

What disability do you have that has resulted in poor communication?

I understand you don't "care". But let me tell you something. When a prospective employer contacts this company for a reference, don't be surprised if they tell them exactly what happened. 20 years old is old enough to take responsibility for your commitments. BTW, I checked your state...

You're an adult. Leave your dad out of it; he has no dog in this fight. I would either ignore their calls for a "meeting". I would ignore their "demand" for "restitution". I would, however, call and say "I will be in on X day at Y time to pick up my final pay; if it is not ready for me...

That's exactly what we're saying; they'll lose because you have no legal liability for loss of income.

They cannot hold your paycheck for any reason. You can file a claim for unpaid wages with your state Dept. of Labor. Sure, they can try to sue you, but it would probably get thrown out before it even got to court. Having said that, why in the world would you just not show up for work and...

Yes, with the possible exception I noted in your other thread.

IF overtime premium is required, yes, the commissions must be included in calculating the "regular rate of pay". However, the 7(i) exemption in the FLSA does not require the overtime premium if your commissions are at least 1/2 of your total pay. That was the link I gave you in my last...

swong171, please start your own thread instead of hijacking someone else's. Thank you.

That is strictly up to the agencies involved and, if applicable, any union agreement. One exception exists, though, in relation to vacation ONLY. These two agencies are different employers? Not just separate agencies of the state? This is an important distinction.

No, and yes. Your paid lunch does not count as "hours worked" for purposes of determining overtime hours. Also, you do know that since overtime is calculated on a workweek basis, you will normally get overtime "after the fact", at least for the last week of the pay period, since a...
