However, recently a co-worker, who is a member of my church, who I am very close with and who also is called upon to pray regularly was condemned because of his style of prayer. He was told (behind closed door by the VP of sales) that they didn't believe he was serious about his job because his...

There is a man at work that is accusing my husband and me of chasing him around town on a motorcycle, wearing clown suits. Assuming you're not doing this, then it appears he's something of a nutcase. My personnel department says this does not constitute harassment because he is not coming...

Should I have been sent a copy? That was up to your employer. Can I ask for a copy now, even though I have finished my employment with them? Yes. Can I ask for copies of whatever else is in my file? Yes. California law states that employees are allowed to inspect all documents related...

You can file a complaint for any unpaid wages with your State's Department of Labor.

My question is this. Is there any law that states that using company money for personal use is unlawful? If this is a privately held company, no. What you are not considering is that even though this is "company" money, the owner is personally liable for some if not all of these items as...

Okay but that doesn't change anything. Besides, someone being in the front "almost" all day doesn't mean that no opportunity existed to steal the money. I completely understand why you're upset but your employer hasn't violated any laws.

The person holding the hearing didn't even want a copy of them from him. Of course he didn't. The only pertinent document the HR manager could have produced was a signed receipt from YOU. Receipts from 50 other employees is completely irrelevant.

From what I've read of similar posts on the web involving Loss Prevention interrogations, what you describe is very standard, if quite unpleasant. LP's approach seems to be to repeatedly accuse in the hopes that the guilty party will crumble and confess. (A terrible employee relations approach...

That's something your local UC office would be able to advise you on. Sometimes these programs exist and sometimes they don't. And when they do exist, they're usually for a specific period of time and have limitations on them regarding geographic area, who is eligible and so on.

Your supervisor isn't violating any laws. Only medical information your employer may have that is obtained through their group health plan is protected. I don't know if it was appropriate to tell coworkers that you failed to pass the test. I can at least imagine that there might be some...

Only a local attorney can advise you.

Maybe. It depends on whether you have suffered any damages as a result of his statements (which includes presumed damages in some situations.) You should consult with an attorney asap. At the very least, a letter from an attorney to senior company management threatening legal action if they...

He did so, but came back later when everyone was going to bed and was found standing outside the back doorway. He came inside and proceeded to walk to the hallway and lay down and stare under the roommates door. How about starting to lock your doors? The place that they work at has two...

You should be eligible for unemployment benefits.

If unemployment benefits are denied, the file for a hearing. The burden of proof will be on your employer to demonstrate that their statements are accurate. As to your termimation, it was lawful so no, there is nothing you can do about that.

Nobody here can tell you that. It depends entirely upon whether each employer elects to do pre-hire criminal background checks and if they do, whether they would care about any misdemeanor convictions. And that depends on what type of jobs you're applying for, what the convictions were for...

Your boyfriend should contact his State's Department of Labor and file a complaint against the company for his unpaid wages.

At the hearing the burden of proof will be on your employer to demonstrate that they changed their policy in October of 2004 and notified all the employees. If they don't have a signed receipt from you or some other acknowledgement that you received a copy of the new policy or handbook, I...

Since you work for the State, there must be a well-defined grievance process and very likely an "equal opportunity compliance" office/officer. You need to file a discrimination complaint with the proper authorities at the facility you work at and/or with your human resources/EEOC compliance group.

salllttt, while the sitaution is unfortunate, nothing you describe as having taken place is remotely illegal. I hope your wife filed a claim for unemployment benefits.
