Obviously Jacksgal mistyped. She meant it is NOT unlawful and she explained that is a downthread post. First of all, there is no law in Florida requiring any termination notice in any form. If the employer does not provide them, you have NO recourse to make them provide one. Neither is...

You have several issues. First, you must make at least minimum wage on a workweek (not monthly). When you divide $350 by the number of hours worked in the month, though, does it equal at least $7.25 per hour? Next, if you worked over 40 hours in any one workweek, you must also receive...

Then, sorry, the only thing that could have protected your job was FMLA and you had not been employed for the 12 months required.

Google "at will employment". Unless you have a bona fide, enforceable employment contract to the contrary, you can be let go at any time for any reason which does not violate a specific law. Doesn't matter which of the two companies your actual employer is.

No idea "why". You documented in writing that you disagreed with both versions. Not much else you can do at this point. Unless the company states to a prospective employer that "Diver was fired for stealing" and you suffer damages because of it. File for UI and see what happens.

You go back to HR and give them the bill.

If you are asking whether your termination was legal or not, it was. If you are asking whether or not you will be approved for unemployment benefits, file and find out.\ How have you been forced to lie and to whom? If you are asking something else, what is the question?

How long had you worked there at the time of your injury?

No, it's "OK" because 1) the employer allows it and 2) because there law requiring the employer to prohibit it.

Well, this IS a legal site. It is not church, where "right" and "wrong" are normally clearly defined. :)

Being the boss' friend (or better said, NOT being the boss' friend) is not a protected class. If the boss wants to hire his/her friends, he may. Not all discrimination is legal; in fact, most discrimination IS legal. What is "right" and what is "legal" or "illegal" have spearate...

Yes, but I would always suggest you try to talk to the EDD and ask that question first, before you make a committment.

How long have you been collecting UI? Are you eligible for extensions at all? Generally speaking, you can still collect if you move, as long as you are otherwise eligible.

Many online job sites do not remove the posting upon hire. Or there is a standing number of days the posting stays up. Or it's an automatic "repost this every 7 days until I tell you to stop" and the employer never says stop.

Attorney Math. :D:dgrin

We don't have nearly enough information to say. Wage and hour law does not regulate benefits. If we're talking a benefit plan that is regulated by ERISA, then IF the individual met the eligibility requirements as defined by the plan (and different plans can have different requirements), and...

And if there are 7,000 individuals involved, an attorney would LOVE to take the whole class.

The "law" could care less about how your compensation package is structured as long as you receive minimum wage for all hours worked and overtime pay if required by wage and hour law. Having said that, short of a bona fide employment contract or CBA guaranteeing your pay rate and prohibitions...

What they are talking about is that alcoholism IS a disability under the ADA but ONLY if the individual is in treatment. It does NOT cover an employee who continues to drink. Plus, the ADA requires only a reasonable accommodation to allow the employee is do his/her job. The ADA does not...
