    Hiring methods

    The prospective employers have every right to ask current employees about past working relationships with a prior coworker at a different company. That's why it's not a great idea to burn bridges. While the discrimination claim comes with a non-retaliation clause, it will be very hard to prove...

    Seated while cashiering.

    The devil is in the details of each case and situation. Did you even read the link that I posted? "The court ruled that, when assessing this requirement, courts should review employee tasks performed at a specific work location, rather than all of the tasks the employee performs over the course...

    Seated while cashiering.

    Here's just one attorney's interpretation on the court case and if you read it you should be able to see that it isnt' an ALWAYS decision...and that your employer/HR need to review employee tasks and create a policy that meets the requirements or be able to explain why they would be exempt...

    Seated while cashiering.

    Agree that you should have passed the liability up to HR and you could easily have referenced the court case since you have heard about it. Not all court cases are directly applicable to the situation and unless you have had your corporate counsel review the facts and circumstances of your...

    Car dealer asking for car back after 23 days

    I'd keep trying to get them the information. Banks seem to be more often asking for this type of information after the sale rather than before. Probably a large spot for fraud and now everyone pays for it! From an HR perspective I am often asked for verifications of employment including...

    Non-Disclosure Agreement

    Then it definitely sounds like you need to seek other legal counsel if you normally review them and this is outside your norm. Especially if this is a company level contract and not just an individual employee one. This is not a DIY project!

    Employee vs independent contractor

    "For the most part, the employer withholds these taxes on behalf of their employees, but in cases where an employer does not do this, or where an employee is self-employed, it is the responsibility of the employee to pay these withholding taxes....In addition, if the employer refuses to withhold...

    Can you take legal action for accepting child support without raising the child?

    Missed that since the poster's name was VictoriaR and he never stated who the writer was...I do have to wonder where he was when all this was happening then. And why he isn't stepping in even now to help her?

    Escrow shortage

    Is this your first year owning the home? This is very common in states where you escrow certain home expenses rather than paying them directly. The bank (aka the mortgage holder) wants to make sure that you keep up with taxes and insurance on the property because they own such a large stake in...

    Can you take legal action for accepting child support without raising the child?

    Agree with the others that your paying parent OR your aunt/uncle should have gone after the child support at the time and there is not much you can do now. As a result of your mom's taxes, you weren't unenrolled, however I do see how it could affect financial aid and student loans. Have you...

    Landlord says my father service dog can not be in my house

    https://droregon.org/wp-content/uploads/DRO-Service-Animals.pdf (skip to Fair Housing part around page 18) Is it a service dog that is medically needed? I suggest you get a referral from whatever medical professional suggested the dog and present it to the landlord. It is a gray area as to...

    JetBlue nightmare

    I suggest you speak with a therapist on how to move past the experience and cognitive behavior therapy to have replacement behaviors when you start to get upset.

    Advice needed for threatening fake warning letter

    working in IT, I would suspect your judgment (and would probably have terminated you at the time) if you decided to use a company/business laptop for personal reasons and knew it was out of policy. Convenience is not an excuse....my DH often carries two laptops when he travels -- one work...
