    Not receiving my paycheck

    Your employer cannot withhold a paycheck from you. You can file a claim with your state's DOL. If you would elaborate on why you believe your check is being withheld, perhaps a better solution would be available. It is highly unusual for the employer after three years to all of a sudden...

    facing reprimand

    No they cannot fire you due to your disability and they must accomodate you accordingly. I'm not familiar with the details, perhaps another member will chime in. Just an after-thought: They may consider termination due to you withholding information that was detrimental to your capability...

    facing reprimand

    Okay, now we understand the issue. As an employer I'd be concerned too and not just for the company liability but also for you. You have not told us the prescription, but if it has side effects that could cause dizziness, etc. I wouldn't want you to operate a drill either. Sounds like to me...

    facing reprimand

    It was this passage which made me believe you had meant the results were positive and not negative. Why else would you be told that you're in BIG TROUBLE? Why else would you be upset about others knowing the results? Why else would you be concerned about broken laws? Why else would you say...

    Photographer nightmare

    I'm not an attorney, yet it is my understanding that your pictures may NOT be used by him to earn income unless authorized by you. He may own the negatives or digital files, but he CANNOT use them to produce income for him. It sounds like the website that the pictures are on is showcasing...

    Can I sue my parents?

    With a parent / child relationship as such, I guess the thought of an inheritance is out of the question... :rolleyes:

    Photographer nightmare

    Fair? maybe. Legal? no. The photographer is blackmailing you. Was there a contract involved with the shoot? The contract should stipulate who owns the rights to the images. The wording within the contract would determine your outcome. The photographer's blackmail offer could also be...

    facing reprimand

    I assume you meant to say that it was reported "positive". If the positive drug test results is the ONLY thing that you worry you may be terminated for, then prepare for it. I'd suggest getting a statement from your prescribing physician that you are on medications which are capable of showing...

    First speeding ticket, clean record so far

    I recall the one time I contested a traffic ticket and the Judge prior to hearing the cases had warned everyone, "If you plan to plead not guilty and are found guilty your fine WILL be more than if you had just plead guilty." A few did change their plea.

    Arrest, Search, Seizure, Warrant Police Confiscated Money!

    Just a thought. Is it plausible that drug residue was on the FedEx package and this is what was sniffed out by the dog? Upon opening the package the $5,000 was found. The money plus the residue would suggest drug trafficking. This would explain why the money was confiscated.

    Arrest, Search, Seizure, Warrant Police Confiscated Money!

    They did not receive the money, they sent the money. Why they used FedEx and not Western Union makes no sense. Yet, I also wonder why and how it was confiscated as a potential drug money operation. Unless there was some prior activity and the boyfriend was being watched, a simple FedEx box...

    Consumer Law, Warranties Gym contract

    I've changed credit card numbers in the past for similar recurring charges, yet the charges follow to the new card. My card issuer told me that the vendor has ways of discovering the new card number. Thus my only recourse is to dispute any new charges. My wife was simply trying to be nice...

    Alcohol & Drugs: DUI, DWI my daughter

    Cyndid18, We think of our 18 year old offsprings as still our "babies". Yet in jail or prison they are considered full adults. They are there to defend for themselves regardless of their personal makeup. My 18 yr. old son was incarcerated. He has pervasive developmental disorder...

    HOA is trying to impose memo of lein

    Perhaps someone else will chime in, yet don't expect any different answer. Your situation is pretty much hopeless. Two years ago I sued a person for $350. It cost me an additional $110. I won a judgement for $440. I've yet to collect and probably will never. I'll have to renew the...

    HOA is trying to impose memo of lein

    Not really. Unfortunately this is an example of what appears wrong and should have legal consequences but doesn't. No matter how mad and upset you are and how irresponsible you think the HOA was, you would have no leg to stand on in a civil suit. Are you aware that there is a fee for...

    HOA is trying to impose memo of lein

    No you do not have a winning case. From a humanistic standpoint I have sympathy for your dilemma. Yet as an accountant I must tell you that sloppy bookkeeping by both the HOA and YOU will not win your case. The HOA should have sent you notices, yet there is no law requiring them to. You on...

    Car Dealership Cheated Me Out of Trade

    Ford F150 $29,000 Less trade-in ( 18,500) Plus payoff of trade-in 13,500 Amount due from you $24,000 It is hard to imagine that the dealer would allow you to drive off the lot with a $29,000 vehicle without finalizing a sales contract and taking...

    Do I Have Any Recourse Here?

    Jerz, You aren't hearing what is being told to you. We can appreciate your feelings on this, yet you must understand what we are saying to you. 1) There is no law that says the employer and/or HR must terminate someone who breaks policy. You may be legally fired for good cause, bad cause...

    Do I Have Any Recourse Here?

    No, not unless you have proof that your termination was directly related to racism. You were terminated, per the manager's decision, based upon the policy of no harrassment. This has no relationship to his previous making of racist jokes. You have already taken the proper step of contacting...
