What part of "please start your own thread" did viper not understand?

I reiterate. This site deals exclusively with U.S. Law.

Ah, he's back to his normal self. Yay!

I still say that somebody has taken over ArmyJudge's brain. :-)

This site deals primarily with U.S. Law. I don't think we have any responders here who know Canadian law.

Nothing. They had no legal obligation to ever hire you as a direct employee. Thank your lucky stars you have work for this long.

OK, what evil being has taken over ArmyJudge's brain? :nuts

OP, stop making multiple posts for every new piece of information. Combine your answers to a response into one single post, please.

"Salaried" is merely a pay method. Even if you were salaried exempt (which is based on your job duties), the employer would have to pay your full salary only for your first day worked through the end of the scheduled workweek. For example, if the workweek starts on Sunday, you started on...

And if they do, file for unemployment. You may or may not get it, but it never hurts to file.

Please note ArmyJudge's last response was 100% sarcasm. At least I hope it was. ;)

This is nowhere near wrongful termination and no, they don't need a "real reason" to terminate him; they could terminate him legally for wearing green socks. He should definitely file for unemployment, however. Based on the details in your post, he's likely to get benefits if he otherwise...

Contact Legal Aid in your county or the nearest law school (if there is one) which often offers students for preparation (although they can't represent you).

You need an attorney NOW. Quitting a job because you are "dissatified" with it is almost always a disqualifying reason for UI benefits, at least from that period forward.

Of course, assuming that this post is nearly three months old, I'm sure the situation has been resolved by now. Thressa, you have been told several times to stop posting to dead threads.

I have been a Payroll Manager and Wage and Hour Compliance specialist for decades. I have also represented my employer at unemployment hearings.

Do. Not. Comment. On. Job. I have to admit I couldn't stomach reading that whole post. If you were applying as an independent contractor, wage and hour and other fair hiring practices do not apply to you.

See an employment attorney. It is illegal for an employer to terminate or otherwise discipline an employee for a single garnishment (if, in fact, this was the only order/request). http://www.fair-debt-collection.com/garnishment-law.html#2

You quit; bad move. If you HAD received another warning and you were fired because of it, you MIGHT have received benefits. By quitting at this point, you virtually assured yourself of not receiving benefits. I would not even mention the Medical Assistance requirement; they don't need to...

1. Worker's Comp does not apply unless the injury was job-related. Was it? And if so, did she file a claim? 2. Unemployment benefits are only available if the individual is ready, willing and able to work. 3. Food stamps or other assistance, maybe. She can contact the county public...
