No. (a) Apparently the employer believed they had a legitimate reason for asking, and (b) this simply does not reach the level of defamation as it does not satisfy the various elements required to do so.

Do I have a case to go after the company for harassment since they did nothing after the first time? No. What you describe does not fall under prohibited harassment in any employment laws. Additionally, you no longer work there so employment reg's aren't even an issue. Now you may have...

If you're not happy there, then Look for another job. Your employer is more satisfied with your friend's job performance than they are with yours. Nothing you describe remotely suggests anything illegal has occured. They have no obligation to accommodate your school schedule or give you the...

None. You tested positive for illegal drugs. They were free to fire you.

No, they can't refuse to pay her. If she worked, they HAVE to pay her. The law is very clear on that. If they don't pay her, your daughter may contact your State's Department of Labor and file a complaint. (It could be the boss is just trying to get her attention by putting a scare into her...

A "general legal practitioner" or an attorney with a practice in business law can assist you.

Was thier action ethical? Since we don't know why management did this, it's impossible to say. Perhaps they were concerned about the possibility of a conflict in interest or a sexual harassment situaiton developing, in which case their concerns were legitimate even if unfounded. Can they...

It's not a question of the federal reg's. It's a question of what the insurance contract and/or Plan Document specify constitutes an eligible participant. You simply may not be in a position to be privy to those documents unless you are a participant in the health plan.

You need to see an attorney! You need expert, specific legal advice, not general information on a bulletin board.

That's impossible to say. You need to consult with an attorney of your own. You certainly shouldn't wait until your B-I-L's attorney is available (if ever.) He's going to be looking out for the best interests of your B-I-L, not you and your wife. Any agreements you and your wife had with...

In order for this to be age or gender discrimination, the basis for the decsion has to be BECAUSE of age or gender. That is not the case here. The boss being smitten with this employee and favoring her because of his personal feelings may be a foolish business decision but it's not against the...

Have you contacted the WC Division since then to see what's happened to your complaint? You're free to consult with an attorney of course but the problem is that the legal fee will cost you as much if not more than the $400 you are owed. You could file a claim in Small Claims Court for the...

How do I find out who owned so I can get this paid for its 400 dollars. Since worker's comp regulations vary by State, it's not possible to say whether the employer is liable for the bee-sting bill but if you're getting the run-around between the two owners, you can call your State's Worker's...

undefined, whether your actions meet the criminal standard for theft is completely irrelevant. If the employer wishes to discipline or fire you because they suspect you of stealing or eating food that was not yours, they are free to do so. The ball is completely in the employer's court. Is...

Are they within their legal rights to raise the bar even higher and demand to see my tax returns as evidence? Yes. Your mother is mistaken. It's not uncommon for an employer to require evidence of the wages the candidate stated they were currently earning. Sadly, job candidates...

cece, frankly, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "backup withholding." Do you mean a dollar amount over and above the customary withholding based on the tax tables? If that's the case, I can't imagine that your employer would care. It's a one-time data entry into the payroll software...

If your question is whether you were wrongfully (illegally) fired, the answer is no. Your employer did not violate any laws in terminating your employment, even if their actions were unfair or inconsistent. Also what id human resources supposed to supply as far as paperwork goes when they...

When your employer must issue final pay to a terminating employee and what the penalties are is entirely dependent on what State you are in. If your employer is out of compliance with State reg's, then your recourse is to file a complaint with your State's Department of Labor.

He has requested in writing why his former employer refused to reconsider his resignation. I'm not sure why he's requested this but is his former employer obligated to respond to his request? They DID respond to his request. They told him no. They don't have to give him a reason. Is he...

Being a jerk is not against the law and nothing she has done is illegal; therefore there's no basis for anyone to sue the company. The good news is that she WILL apparently back down from this behavior when it's confronted. I suggest you find a manner to discuss this employee's behavior...
