This is a tip jar, right? Such tips must be distributed in total to the employees who would otherwise get them directly; they may NOT be confiscated by the employer. http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs15.htm That's why I recommended to just file the claim without the letter if you...

Your paycheck cannot be held "hostage" for refusal to sign such a statement. Here's what I'd do, in writing, delivered in person or mailed, Certified, return receipt requested IF you don't work there any more: Dear Mr/s Owner: New Jersey law prohibits withholding of pay for time...

Yes, I also need to hear the "why".

YOU? :o:dgrin

Probably not, but since this are commissions and not your base salary or hourly rate, I don't know if the state DOL would take a complaint. You can call and ask them.

No, it isn't.

If an employee does not submit a W-4 form, the employer is required to withhold at Single with zero allowances. Is he on the payroll now?

If they only have 3 employees, they are too small to be subject to the FMLA, and may or may not be subject to the PA discrimination laws. Click on the third document here. http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/labor_law_compliance/10515

They can sue you for it, however. They may prevail, they may not.

You would need to file in Massachusetts, so you would need an MA lawyer. However, you should be able to work with the lawyer by phone, mail, and email. Maybe a demand letter from an attorney would shake the payment loose and you wouldn't even have to file a suit.

MA Wage law does not apply to you, since you were not an employee. http://www.mass.gov/courts/courtsandjudges/courts/districtcourt/smallclaims.html

Unless there is a union contract or state requirement for state entities to post a position, no, this is not illegal (since this is a private entity). Equal Opportunity laws cover discrimination based on certain personal characteristics only. It does not mean the employer must allow everybody...

Because if YOU aren't there, they have to fire somebody else. What YOU think is "reasonable" may not necessarily be what the employer thinks is reasonable. Without knowing any of the details regarding what your "disability" is and what form the "harrassment" took, I don't think we can help...

The word itself is a word. It is the context in which it is used. Personally, I would prefer never hearing it again, said by anybody.

The ADA (even if your "disability" meets the criteria) does not require the employer to extend additional time off past the time that FMLA allows. Even so, the employer is not required to provide the accommodations you or your doctor requests; merely an accommodation that allows you to do the...

The "Free Speech" amendment prohibits the government from restricting speech, not the employer. And honestly, there IS a difference (be it right or wrong) between African-Americans using the "N" word and whites doing so.

You got the legal answer. A whole bunch of times.

That's right. As long as you get all the time alloted to you by law, there is no "penalty" for assigning your work comp-related absences to FMLA after the fact. That would have been true even if they allocated the missed time to FMLA from the beginning. Sorry, this isn't the answer you...

Work Comp and FMLA running concurrently is a scam? News to me. FMLA is, by definition, unpaid. OP, please note that I know ArmyJudge knows this and his sarcastic evil twin has probably taken hold of him again, but just so YOU know. If you and the medical condition meet the criteria, the...

No, they cannot withhold his paycheck.
