    Can they legally do this...?

    Something to keep in mind as well is that your employer isn't obligated to work you into the schedule at your convenience. I don't know how many other students work there or how many restrictions on work hours and days your coworkers have but only being able to workends and then only certain...

    salary withheld

    Question, how would they even know you had a parking ticket if there is no order or judgement?

    Non Compete

    Your disability and pay plan have no earing on this. If you violated a contract you signed, or are being accused of doing so, you really need to get a lawyer ASAP. Whether or not the agreement you signed is enforceable is a question that only a lawyer who has reviewed the entire agreement can...

    sexual harassment at work

    Is there a higher level manager or HR Department you can report the incident to? Start there. Document what happened, where, when, what the other employee's response was when you told him to stop and what happened after that point. It is unfortunately often the case that front line supervisors...

    Mental Health Thread #2 - Spring Forward

    30's here, 20's at night. Not. Happy. That stupid rodent in PA lied. I live South of the Mason Dixon for a reason. Cathie, if someone hasn't heard of your employer, I would disqualify them based on that alone. It is clear they have been living under a rock. My previous employer used to...

    Mental Health Thread #2 - Spring Forward

    Speaking of hiring practices, read this and wanted to pull my hair out. http://www.cracked.com/article_20322_6-ways-companies-are-secretly-screwing-job-applicants.html I mean seriously? Alright so it is a humor site but it galls me that it is still highly inaccurate.

    Mental Health Thread #2 - Spring Forward

    I am a government employee. Cushy early retirements are no longer the case. At least not here. Better than nothing but certainly not like it was once upon a time. To get much of anything, I have another 22 years to go.

    Mental Health Thread #2 - Spring Forward

    I'm so far from retirement it isn't even funny. Meanwhile, my coworkers are dropping like flies and with good reason. I'm totally jealous. Maybe I should start playing the lottery.

    FDNY Discrimination Class Action Suit ineligibility

    If the settlement was for those who took the exams in 1999 and 2002 and you did not take it until 2003, I don't seee how you have any recourse at all. You were not part of the group that was allegedly discriminated against.

    Mental Health Thread #2 - Spring Forward

    Was off, or at least out of the office for a week as I was sick. Still recovering but it is going to take me forever to get caught up. Would help if my copmputer would not inexplicably keep locking me out. My Tech guru suggested a Louisville Slugger to straighten it out. I had suggested a young...

    Mental Health - The Penguin Has Landed

    I remember being advised in Driver's Ed to always keep a dollar bill in your glove compartment in case you needed to get gas. Of course paying at the pump didn't exist and gas was under a dollar a gallon so even $1 in gas would last you a few days.

    Paying $3.85-3.98 in MD and that is at the "cheap" stations.

    Depends on your state. In mine, refusing a reasonable request like that would disqualify you...most of the time...with most hearing officers...

    HR &t FMLA DR.s certification

    If your primary isn't actually treating you, then no, they may not complete the forms. They aren't the doctor taking you off work. If the neuro won't complete paperwork to take you off work, I would ask if you really need to be off full time. Your employer does not have to approve leave on your...

    Billable workers and FLSA rules

    I wouldn't tie the bonus directly to hours worked as it just looks like you are treating them as non-exempt.

    Manager promised stock options that he should not have

    Stock option plans can fall under ERISA. If this is a qualified plan (and we can not tell from here) then you are only entitled to those options if you qualify under the terms of the plan. Your manager can not by pass this. Admitting they were promised changes nothing although the company might...

    Do I have a solid case?

    Qualifications on paper are only half the equation when it comes to selecting someone for a job. In fact, it is probably less than half. Ideally your employer would look at the total picture including what skills each candidate has, how they get along with those they will be working with...

    Patient chasing nurse

    Every hospital I have ever known has a "Patient Relations" department or something similar specifically to deal with these kinds of patients. I suggest you contact them. Withholding care is simply not an option as even the emotionally disturbed deserve medical treatment. There isn't anything...
