    What kind of trouble can I be in for extending the dates on a doctor's note for work?

    Agree that I would ask for an updated note from the doctor and hope you can get it. Even if it is the same OLD date, make it right now before you get into earning wages that you don't truly have documentation for.

    Can a landlord start a contract with a new tenant without first terminating an existing contract?

    why didn't you sign the termination agreement? What did it say about the return of any deposit? What did the original lease/contract say about the buildout (timing/cost/etc)? What "out"/inspection did you have if the buildout was not done to specifications? What did it say abou terminating...

    Continued to pay for services after contract was cancelled

    I work on the other side of automatic billing and am always amazed that the people who go months if not years and don't notice a debit that was supposed to be stopped. I tell our members to always check the very first month that they are not to be charged. I do know that if you had paid by CC...

    Mental Health #11 - A New Beginning

    I do payroll/HR and financial management for two fitness gyms. Those employees NEVER go away UGH! It's pretty much a "heathen" industry. And I agree with cbg about the cowboy UI "expert" on a few other boards -- for some reason though I had the impression she was a he LOL.....and not a smart...

    Reasonable accommodation - work from home

    All I can think of is they are unsure how to track your work from home and time-off under FMLA tracking processes. You might consider coming up with an idea on that (even if it is just calling in each day to your supervisor when you start and stop OR when you take FMLA protected timeoff). Does...

    Is this discrimination?

    And it is very possible that the 4th in employee made a lower rate per hour in wages than the three of you and that would be a reasonable explanation as to why they laid certain people off (and have nothing to do with race). Does the 4th work under the same contracting company? If it is a...

    I just need to know if my mom has a wrongful termination case

    Sounds like a HIPAA violation if she used her employee credentials to do so... and that is serious

    Colorado Insurance power over time

    Did you happen to claim you were a no smoker on you original or any later insurance applications or paperwork? If so, you were possibly rated at a lower premium which could be considered fraud if you actually are a smoker...

    Deliberate misspelled Name

    why do you think they did it deliberately and what do you think they had to gain by doing so? why did you not immediately correct it or ask them to? If you did, what did they say?

    Suspicious Termination

    agree with the others.. it is very possible you lost your employment because your mom broke up with your boss. That is not illegal...any more illegal than him giving you the job in the first place because your mom was his girlfriend at the time. Whenever personal relationships link to the...

    Pets ESA: Pet deposit charge required?

    Unfortunately the illegitimate requests (to save money on pet deposits or airplane fees, for example) have overshadowed the legitimate ones and landlords and business owners are having to deal with it without getting sued for questioning the real ones who do need it. Sometimes that means the...

    Pets ESA: Pet deposit charge required?

    It gets out of hand because "proper documentation" can be purchased on the internet for less than $100

    can they be sued/is it illegal

    Did she ever get legal custody/guardianship of her nephew or even legal visitation (which is not too terribly common)? If not, she has no legal rights to see him. It is totally up to his parents or those with legal custody. She should in NO way "show everyone" in retaliation. Because yes...

    Having a dink on a lunch hour.

    She has no rights in the whole situation. You can keep banging your head against the wall, but in the end she can be terminated regardless of any of these other red herrings you want to throw into the mix. A civilian can walk in and ask, not require and if the Applebees' employee gave it out...

    Having a dink on a lunch hour.

    Just one more reason your friend shouldn't have been drinking at lunch time at an establishment managed by her manager's wife. Your friend might want to seek help if she can't get through lunch without an alcoholic drink. But yes, if she put it on the company credit card/account and it is...

    Having a dink on a lunch hour.

    I am a bit surprised that Applebee's gave out a receipt, but in the end your friend did have a drink at lunch and I don't know of any laws that keep Applebee's from doing so. However, sometimes there are corporate policies regarding privacy. (It is possible she left the itemized receipt on the...

    Having a dink on a lunch hour.

    No it is not a crime, but might be very bad judgment depending on company policy and what type of work she does. She has no rights to employment in this case and the employer doesn't have to prove she committed any crime. Employment law allows an employer to terminate based on their...

    Is a Cancellation Fee Disclosure Required?

    However, if you dispute/reverse the charge, the hotel WILL get a chance to refute your dispute and it is possible they will win if they have their policy in writing. But if they can't prove you were told of the $50 fee at time of reservation, you do have a better chance at winning. They did...

    What Should I do ?

    I truly believe that honesty is the best policy, but realize that honesty is probably going to preclude you from any jobs where money is handled. And if I had an employee steal from me, yes, I would tell a prospective employer about it if asked for a reference. So I would try for jobs that...
