What she said.

So do I. Perhaps a quick discussion of the phrase would be in order. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrongful_dismissal

So, wiseman, what LAW are you claiming was violated? Please cite it.

To answer your first question, yes, it is legal. "Innocent until proven guilty" is a concept in criminal cases; it does not apply in the employment arena. If you don't know who said what, you can't, and HR is not required by law to tell you. Sounds very strange, however, that several...

Your post is way too long. I just skimmed the first couple of paragraphs and the last one. But. A "wrongful termination" for which you might have legal recourse is one where the termination actually violates a specific LAW. If the employer chooses to believe others over you, they have the...

They can if they want to. The length of employment doesn't make any difference. However, the employer doesn't have to override its policy to provide you with a "reasonable accommodation". What does your doctor recommend? I have to ask, though, why did you accept a new job three weeks ago if...

I'm not clear. Was your FMLA leave 2 years ago?

Many school districts still have "morality clauses" in their contracts. Check yours. If you're in a union, talk to your union rep. Even so, under the law, your were "harrassed" because they didn't like you, that is NOT illegal. Not all employees must be treated the same way. It's only...

This site is primarily for US Law only. I doubt we have any responders here who know anything about such mortages in Africa, so don't be surprised if you don't get any responses.

The rules of this site prohibit attorney referrals. You will need an attorney who is licensed to practice in MA if you want him/her to actually represent you, rather than just advising you. Try the Find Lawyers option at the top of this page. Or contact the nearest county chapter of the...

Agree. This is not an area addressed by law, only by your CBA.

Here's the problem you have. The state of Florida (as well as federal) has no laws regarding the time lag between the end of the pay period and when the check for that pay period. Your recourse at this point is a complaint with the federal Dept. of Labor or a civil action (small claims) in...

Well, your tips DO have to be taxed, so that is correct. When you ask where the other 24 hours of pay are, what do they say?

Relative to your continued employment, however, does FMLA apply? STD does not protect your job; only the FMLA can do that.

The calculations on this check are fine, assuming the $380.52 is the amount of tips you actually received. What is the pay period ending date on the stub? Are you saying you worked 48 hours within THAT pay period (or since you were rehired), and you were only paid for 24? Florida has...

And, you haven't been there long enough to qualify for FMLA, anyway. How many employees total does this employer have?

There is no Florida "Dept. of Labor". You would have to contact the federal DOL and file a wage claim. Federal law requires that 1) you be paid a cash wage of at least $2.13 per hour and 2) you cannot be charged nor taxed for any more tips on a weekly basis than you actually get (there is a...

You need to have the contract reviewed by an experience local attorney, versed in this speciality. The devil is inm the details in contracts.

To be correct, this is a forum for assisting consumers with legal issues. It is not a site for advertising one's business. Let the OP start a blog. Just my $.02.
