Unless you are being treated less favorably because of your membership in a protected class (race, gender, age if over 40, national origin, religion, etc.) then nothing illegal is taking place. One of two things are happening: (1) either the Chief does not, in fact, desire input from any of...

There are several possible illegalities here, starting with her former employer keeping her last paycheck. Your daughter should contact her State's Department of Labor right away and file a complaint about that. Her former employer telling others that your daughter was fired for stealing if...

You need far more help than is available on a bulletin board. You need to see an attorney about the $40,000+ that is owed you.

What you describe is not unlawful harassment. Since she's rude and nasty to everyone (Other co-workers have complained about this person. She has problems with everyone (the operations manager, shop supervisors, and other co-workers), she's clearly not singling you out because of your race...

Lying on an application form is without question grounds to fire someone. I strongly suggest you tell your wife not to do so again. Now she has two problems to overcome in trying to find a job: (1) being terminated for stealing $10,000 worth of merchandise (yikes!) and (2) being fired from...

I'm not entirely clear on what your question is. ANY employee can be lawfully paid on a non-exempt basis, including physicians. I'm not in the medical field but it's my understanding that many doctors are paid on an hourly basis, particularly those who work for hospitals - such as ER...

So what you are telling me is that any body can yell and scream at there employee's and try to make them look stupid all the time and there is nothing a person can do but take it.. No, the person doesn't have to just take it. An employee can quit their job and walk out the door anytime they...

This is not an employment law issue. It's a matter of your neighbor possibly violating a number of city ordinances and being a nuisance. If no one will investigate or enforce municipal codes because your neighbor happens to be a member of the Sheriff's Department, that stinks but I don't know...

I'm saying that some legal record was necessarily created, even if you had a deferred sentence. If the judge thought you were innocent of the crime you were charged with, you wouldn't have been given six months of probation. Your question really as to your criminal conviction status really...

I'm not sure why you're posting this question on one of the employment law board but the answers are: If I file a complaint about off-duty bad behavior of a sheriff's deputy, will it constitute actionable defamation of character on my part? No. You have the right to avail yourself of any...

Whether your employer is willing to pay out your vacation pay while you are on leave is entirely up to them. Please help me out with comments or suggestions of who I could call or ask. Your employer.

If you were given six months of probation, your case was not dismissed. It sounds like you were given a deferred sentence but that is not the same as a not guilty verdict. On the application It ask if ever convicted which I said no don’t know what I did wrong. You lied on the application...

You can sue the co-worker for slander if you are fired but the burden of proof will be on you to demonstrate that she purposefully lied. You'd have no recourse against the employer. Since marijuana stays in the blood stream for quite some time and since you've passed two drug screens at...

Seems to me you already have your mind made up about a doctors PPD Without knowing any of the facts Seems to me YOU'RE the one with his mind made up. I have seen many, many PPD recommendations from employees' physicians. Some of them are fair and accurate; many of them are absurdly high and...

1) What exactly do you mean by "outstanding leave pay"? Are you talking about earned but unused vacation time? Paid sick days? Paid personal days? Something else? 2) What State are you in?

90 mph in a 65 zone and open intoxicants in the car!?! Do you have any idea how lucky you and your friends are to be alive? How exactly were you able to retain an attorney without your parent's involvement? You're 17 years old - you can't enter into a valid contract.

Is this defamation of character? Do you mean is the pastor refusing to pick sides defamation of character? No, not even close. Also, by bringing the issue to the boss (the Pastor), I feel like I have had retaliation, by being let go from my position. I never voluntarily resigned, just...

As far as my doctor not providing me with an impairment rating that's not what he does, he is a surgeon and does not get involved in ratings and ratings are done durring an FCE. I still think that is bizarre. I've never seen a WC claim where there was any permanency where the employee's own...

Is it legal, ethical for an employer to do this? Yes, it's legal. Whether it's ethical is not relevant. I can only assume the employer felt they had an urgent reason to ask this employee to cancel his/her vacation. If you refuse to postpone and simply say you are taking the vacation i...

Jenny should contact her State's Department of Labor/wage and hour division and file a complaint. There is no question that her former employer has acted unlawfully by making these payroll deductions.
