Why do you say your husband can't collect unemployment benefits? He likely can unless the employer can provide reasonable proof that your husband did steal from the company. While it's lawful to be fired for suspicion of stealing, suspicion is usually not enough for UC benefits to be denied.

You are correct that favoritism is not illegal. If the company owner wants to make his child the COO he may, even if the kid is still in gradeschool. Just because someone is friendly with the boss does not mean that they're unqualified for a position or that they weren't the best candidate...

This is not remotely harassment. It may have been inappropriate to physically move your arm but he didn't do anything illegal. Not even close. Since your boss is a good guy 99% of the time, he clearly was having a very bad day on this one occasion. I suggest you don't confront your boss...

Can I be prosecuted for this? If your employer makes a criminal complaint to the police and the district attorney finds there is sufficient evidence that you stole from your employer, yes. Civil proceedings? Aggain, that's possible if your employer decides to sue you civilly for any items...

I read and copied some e-mail from her computer at work. And who authorized you to do that??? Am I in the wrong for reading and copying the e-mail? Yes! You helped yourself to your supervisor's PC and accessed email that you had absolutely no business reading. As far as I can see...

If you can't get your HR Director to see things your way and authorize terminating these individuals, then you need to escallate the issue and talk to your boss and let him take it to the HR Director's boss. Unless you've left out some pertinent information, then I agree that your HR Director...

Some punctuation would have made your post a lot easier to read. I agree with cbg. There is no harassment taking place nor has anything unlawful occurred. Your recourse is to file a grievance with your union.

Eating items in the snack bar without paying for them is certainly a form of stealing. How is that different than if your wife had snuck candy bars into her purse while she was going through the check-out lane? Some food service establishments do allow employees to eat free within certain...

She signed a non compete policy that states she cannot clean or solicit customers for a year from termination. What can I do about this person? You can consult with an attorney and see if you can sue under the terms of the non-compete she signed. A letter from an attorney threatening all kinds...

If your employer was served with what they believe to be a valid court-ordered garnishment, then they're obligated to withhold the wages as directed. It's not up to your employer to go to court and fight the court order on your behalf becasue there is a typo on it. You're certainly free to...

Can these people force her to do the job she was hired for plus do a physical job she neither applied for or is capable of doing without health risks to herself? In short, yes. The secretary can bring in a note from her doctor with any restrictions the doctor feels advisable to provide but...

You'll need to talk to a local attorney. Whether you are owed any backpay for the annual bonus depends on exactly what was said/promised and your State's relevant case law.
