I agree with the others that your only real recourse is to see if your employer will raise your salary in lieu of the stock options. At best you would have a claim for the current value of the options. Speculating as to what they might someday be worth won't get you far as no one can predict...

I work for a school but I have a traditional 260 day a year schedule. I did have Monday off though.

Dental work very rarely qualifies as FMLA. Having teeth pulled would not qualify.

The law doesn't even require that they list the items that they did list, so the omission of any one legally protected characteristic is meaningless. Federally, age is only protected if you are over 40, and it can be awkward to phrase that in an ad so it is often just omitted. ALL age...

Sometimes it pays to be tone deaf.

Speaking from experience, your doctor needs to be clear on the OT issue. Is your restictions against working more than a certain number of hours in a day or more than a certain number in a week? If the cert just says 40 in a week, then your employer can expect you to work a 12 hour day. A cert...

Glad to hear Marilyn is well. I saw some of the early reports from her town on TV and it didn't look pretty. Three different employees have told me today that they never want my job. I'm going to play the optimist and call it job security.

At least the snow is staying to the north where it belongs. Stay safe and warm all my Northern friends. I am still recovering from Post Traumatic Snow Disorder after 2009. 3 blizzards was my lifetime limit.

I'm not sure what your role is in all of this. It would help to know how to advise you if we knew that information. Generally speaking, if an employee is injured while on the job, they should file a WC claim. Whether any of the time they are off work due to that injury is covered by the WC...

It is sounding more like your supervisor is getting flack from above and doesn't appreciate you then going over his head. The law doesn't protect you on the basis of an internal complaint and not many supervisors appreciate it when an employee goes over their head on something to half the...

Reimbursement of internet expenses and other business expenses are not required by law. Unless you have a contract that outlines what they will pay, you are at the mercy of company policy which does not have the force of law. If you haven't turned in the documentation for FMLA, you aren't...

99.9% of the time, WC is the exclusive remedy for employees injured on the job. The only time you can sue is if you were injured by some third party, in which case you would sue the third party not your employer, and the claim would be subrogated (meaning the WC carrier is entitled to be repaid...

My brothers were on Twitter during the blackout. Many amusing tweets and theories.

I actually watched the game this year. Be shocked. Watched the aftermath on the local channels as well. Very glad my sister was not working last night. Downtown Baltimore was insane and the masses decided to celebrate by climbing on top of the news trucks and dancing on them. At least...

Those kinds of temps are just not fit for humans. I live south of the Mason-Dixon for a reason. Apparently the Superbowl is this weekend and our "local" team is in it. The Ravens have this tradition/superstition about wearing purple on Fridays before games and it has really amped up this...

It doesn't matter why there are fewer customers, you aren't owed anything over MW for the hours you work. You are also not owed a set number of hours. It is no different than if your employer changed the menu to a less popular selection or just lost business to a new restaurant opening. You just...

Even if you are innocent, there is no way to prove that this manager took money from your register. This was also more than 6 years ago so I'm sure any appeal rights you had through your union have long since passed. Further, the statute of limitations to take action against the union itself for...

Not nice penguin, not nice at all. Two days ago it was 67. Today, we got the white stuff, 20's, and 30 mph wind.

Hold on a minute, what is your job? There are certain jobs where you may not drive if there is a DUI on your record. For example, if you are a school bus driver and you get arrested for a DUI, game over. I have yet to meet someone arrested for a DUI who admits they were impaired and...

If fewer customers are coming in and therefore you are earning fewer tips, there isn't anything you can do. I'm not sure who you think should make up for the reduced tips or why, but your employer isn't required to guarantee you a certain amount in tips or a certain number of customers per...
