However, a "serious offense" as defined by company policy is not the same as illegal harrassment. I don't disagree with reporting such treatment to HR or the supervisor's manager, but I just wanted to make it clear that company policy is not law and the behavior described is not a violation of...

Although such statements are rude and unprofessional, this is not illegal harrassment, which is defined as being based solely on a Title VII protected characteristic, such as gender, religion, national origin, etc. Mere rudeness is not illegal.

That's right up at the top of the list for longest sentences.

And "favoritism" is not generally illegal anyway.

It could, your attorney should be able to answer this for sure. BTW, minimum wage is now $7.25.

I don't think the lawyer is required to discuss the case with anyone but his client, except if the client gives his permission.

Armyjudge, you read all that? I'm impressed. :)

I am not at all confident that the OP meets the criteria for IC status. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p1779.pdf But even if not, Alabama has no laws regarding offset of gross pay nor any laws regarding deductions from net pay (not sure which is occurring here). Federal laws would...

You wrote a 20-page report? If I were HR, I'd be throwing it in the trash.

Your post is WAY too long and probably contains a lot of irrelevant information. What exactly is your question?

And no, you can't sue for severance pay, unless you have an enforceable employment contract that requires it (IF you are fired), as there is no law requiring severance pay. Besides, why would they give severance pay to someone who refuses (for whatever reason, however "good" in the eye of the...

OK, then without a guaranteed salary (which can be docked only in very limited situations), she would not be an exempt employee, even if her duties met the criteria. So, that means that 1) hours worked must be tracked; 2) on a workweek basis, she must average at least minimum wage for all...

However, they CAN say anything to a prospective employer that is the truth or their honestly held opinion. Whether or not they WILL, we have no way of knowing.

It's possible that she might be exempt under the Administrative classification. Is ALL of her pay commission or does she get a salary?

What exactly does she do to earn this commission and where does she do it? Is there a written commission plan/agreement? And she is an employee, not an independent contractor, correct? It might be legal; not enough to say yet.

My understanding from an ex-Florida hearing officer is that yes, consistent regular nonpayment of wages and multiple bounced paychecks ARE reasons for quitting that will not disqualify the claimant from unemployment benefits.

Then it's a contract issue, not a US law issue. In fact, this site does not address international law or basically, anything but US law.

Let the UN sue Mr. A. We don't know what his contract provides for. I doubt there is one. Mr. A needs an attorney. Wait a minute, before we go there. Did Mr. A perform his services in the United States? Was Mr. A a U.S. citizen or resident alien?
