How many people are affected? Nothing was stopping you from starting to look for other work on Dec. 9. And it's not necessarily "deception". Maybe they just decided that they couldn't afford to do what they originally planned to do. I would note that neither federal nor Florida law...

A case for what? Come on, help us out here.

I'm not sure what you're looking for. What exactly is the question?

See an attorney who can review your contract/agreement in full and determine what, if any, recourse you may have. As an independent contractor, wage payment laws (even if Florida had any) don't apply to you. You did meet the criteria to be treated as an IC, right?

Then seniority rights need not be considered in rehire decisions.

Have you contacted the union steward? This is almost totally a matter of your CBA, not of general employment law.

The governments in those countries.

It may be an excuse, but it may not get you UI benefits. You would have had a better chance, I think, if you had reported to someone (even HR) that you were being instructed by your manager to falsify the reportss.

Nope, Arizona is not one of those states.

You need a local attorney who can review all the agreements and other documents to advise you. This is a contract issue, not a wage and hour issue.

I wouldn't, but legally, you could be fired if you root for the Steelers instead of the Ravens.

Yeah, too long. Cut it down to the pertinent facts.

Thank you for your story. So, are you asking if any/all of this is legal?

I'm not the only one. But, no, you got one answer you liked. You got a LOT of legal and reasonable answers.

So what do you want us to tell you?

Well, you're welcome to take it to a Georgia attorney and see what he says. If anything, you would have to file a civil suit in the state courts, since the federal DOL does not address this specific issue.

Legally, no. What does the commission policy/plan say?

That would be a legal policy under federal law (Georgia has no wage and hour laws of its own). It is fairly common for such plans to require the employee complete the commission period and/or be employed at the time the commissions are paid. The only exception would be if you were inside...

The same answers you got in the other TWO forums in which you posted.

Agree. You need to control your actions in the workplace. Grow up.
