Um, hello, did YOU read the part where this thread was started nearly six YEARS ago and these kids keep hijacking it?

If you haven't seen the policy, how do you know? Just because you are allowed to TAKE the vacation as of January 1 doesn't automatically mean it is deemed earned and vested as of January 1. However, if you are correct, NY law is rather unique in that vacation remaining must be paid out unless...

Something isn't sounding right. You started in December of 2010? Was that a typo?

OP, you posted this question on another forum, right? I just responded there. I just noticed, however, your comment regarding your first two weeks "holdback". Are you sure you have never received those wages? Or is the employer just paying "in arrears" (i.e., after the fact--they do...

You can certainly file. The problem I see is that the state will deem your forgoing paychecks as indicative not of an employee first, but as an owner first. One of the drawbacks of being in business for yourself.

Threatens you how? Have you talked to your union rep?

So, file a complaint with the DLSE for failure to provide advance notification. It works or it doesn't

Inside sales or outside sales? How is it that it took 10 months for you to discover this?

Ditto, LP. May I call you LP for short? ;)

IMHO, it's petty and childish. But here, there are no laws against managers being so. In a few states here, the law provides that employees may rebut a negative review in writing and have such writing placed in their personnnel file, though. And "insubordination" is in the eye of the...

This site deals primarily with U.S. Law.

Answered on the other forum on which the poster asked it.

The truth was she got fired for contacting the family when it was obviously not her responsibility to do so. If she was that concerned, she should have reported the situation to the Director of Nursing or the Administrator and let them handle it. This is not the job of an administrative...

Why do you think the other person said this BECAUSE you are African-American?

I'm not saying companies don't do it. I'm saying that these companies have been targeted in the past few years for misclassifying workers as ICs. Just because it's common in the industry, doesn't mean it's legal.

But almost certainly, this was an illegal status classification to start with.

If you're desperate, you can always try a small claims action. Jurisdiction might be an issue, though. As sad as it is, you pays your money, you takes your choice (as my g-pa used to say). A small claims action will come up in court more quickly than the DOL could probably get to your wage...
