Is your neighbor parking his car on a public street? If so, then he has every legal right to park there. If he comes onto your property and menaces you, then call the police.

Sure. Formally "firing" everyone and then rehiring employees when an acquisition occurs is pretty common. It likely has to do with the former employer's and the new employer's benefit plans as well as the new employer not taking on liability for any "bad acts" the former employer may have...

1. So it appears that they're having you sign in an out in an effort to determine whether you're on-site or at another location. I don't know whether this is the best/most reasonable way to track your whereabouts but it's not illegal. 2. Taking sick leave to spend time with your sister or...

The Equal Pay Act does not require that people be paid fairly, or commensurate with their experience/skill, or the same as one another. The EPA simply requires that no one be paid less because of their membership in a protected class, i.e. they can't pay you less BECAUSE you're a woman or...

Unless any of this has taken place because of your age or because you took medical leave (assuming it fell under the FMLA), then it's not harassment, discrimination, and it's all legal. 1. What reason were you given for having to sign in and out of work when you returned from leave? 2...

You're welcome. Let's just hope her true colors become apparent quickly on the new job and the powers-that-be decide they'll be better off without her. If she's an "at will" employee, then it should be an easy task to get rid of her if they find her behavior or job performance lacking. In the...

My take on this is that the city negotiated a deal with her in which she resigned. Had she not done so and had they discharged her, she was undoubtedly entitled to a very lengthy "due process" review of her discharge which would likely have taken many months and involved considerable expense...

So they hired a private detective but they haven't notified the police of the missing money? I find that very bizarre. I think your wife is working for some very strange people indeed, particularly given the vicious threats they made. It seems to me she'd be well advised to move on to a...

That doesn't strike me as a very sound plan. (a) Calling these people up and engaging them in a debate will likely only make things worse, and (b) they might use the existance of such a recording and the fact that she initiated the call and the discussion to allege that she was harassing them...

Your wife's bosses can't "have" anyone arrested. Private citizens do not have that power. Only law enforcement, district attorneys, and judges do. Same goes for your child being removed from your home. The MOST these guys could do would be to (a) file a criminal complaint with the police...

Yes, your boss has broken the law. The Immigration Reform and Control Act to be specific. He has hired individuals he knows are not authorized to work in this country. The boss is exposing the company to fines of up to $11,000 for each unauthorized individual he's hired plus possible criminal...

My question is how much information is a company able to disclose during a phone reference check? They can share nearly anything they wish to, provided it is factually accurate or represents their honest opinion. My husband, so far it looks like, will not be hired because of information...

He is a bigot, a bully and a rude little man. He's a miserable excuse for a human being but that's not unlawful. Since he's not singling out anyone for this treatment because of their membership in a protected class (age, race, gender, religion, etc.), then nothing he's doing is prohibited by...

Contact your State's Department of Labor. Since this is an insured benefit, I seriously doubt your employer can withhold your benefit checks. However I also suggest you meet with your employer asap to discuss their concerns about the company credit card. If you don't, you could easily...

It is not prohibited harassment. Whether it is libel or slander depends upon what exactly he has said about you and what damages you have incurred as a result. This BOD member expressing his OPINION about you is not slander. If he's knowingly making false or negligent statements about you...

Whether this is illegal depends on whether this man has targeted you these other employees for this behavior BECAUSE of their gender. If he just gets his jollies by being an obnoxious jerk and gender is irrelevant, then it's not prohibited discrimination. You also need to explain further...

is this legal after she had already gotten good references and hired me? Yes. she (manager) said she called back to the previous employer to get a second opinion???? and they spoke with someone who said i had stole and was not eligible for rehire due to this Still legal unless the person...

I think your question actually is whether a minor can be charged with criminal offenses by being at a party where other minors are consuming alcohol and using illegal drugs. The answer is "of course." Whether the minor will be convicted of any criminal charges is not something anyone here can...

I am curious how no laws are being violated if I have been threatened by another employee on company property, would this be something that should be reported to law enforcement? Because no employment laws require your co-workers or their spouses be nice to you or that management intervene if...

Is this short-term disability benefit a salary continuation plan (i.e. you continue to receive paychecks directly from the employer) or do payments come from an insurance carrier?
