    Employer not paying court ordered alimony

    I am not finding a definition of a "timely payment" although I have looked for it. Does the court order itself say 10 days? If so, then the employer has that full 10 days to pay -- are they 3 days late from the paycheck date or 3 days late from 10 days after the paycheck date? (and like cbg...

    Problem with My Bank - One Check Issued Twice

    Is it at all possible that the first time it bounced and the recipient re-deposited the check a second time (which is if it bounced the first time)? Did it actually reduce your bank balance the first time? Or is it possible the recipient ran the same check through twice -- with new smartphone...

    Am I eligible for FMLA ?

    No, because you have not completed a full year of service (it's an "AND" statement with 1 year of service AND at least 1250 hours). However, your employer could decide to allow you the time off. You should ask if what the leave policy is for those not currently eligible for FMLA. Obviously they...

    Workplace Privacy

    I have to agree with cbg that there are valid reasons as to why you should have informed at least your boss if not your coworker due to the protective order/abuse so that they could be aware and watchful since they are around you a good part of the day.

    Noisy Neighbor…

    And this is one of the reasons our HOA chose not to participate/endorse that website. I would suggest asking the website to remove the inaccurate posting. Otherwise, I would ignore it. As I suspect others who know your neighbor will do.

    Work compensation equality

    I agree with asking them. It is possible there are a limited amount of vehicles and 1 more employee than that. Are you the latest hired? Are you the one with the best car? Are you the only one who hasn't been late to work due to car problems? Etc. There could be a lot of reasons for it. And...

    Health Insurance

    This is the 3rd time (at least) that you have asked the same question. Read previous responses. No, health insurance costs do not come out of the "disposable income" calculation for child support purposes. How 'bout you just be thankful that your soon to be ex has full lifetime coverage for...

    Mentioning A College In A Film

    And I would caution being extra careful if you are also an employee of the institution and conflict of interest. If you end up bringing negative publicity, even without bad intentions and approval by the powers that be, you could lose your main job. Are you willing to risk it? I think that...

    Mentioning A College In A Film

    If their legal department finds out about it, I would expect some blowback regardless of infringement if you don't have permission to use their name or location. Why is it important to name the specific (real) college? For some reason you want to use their brand to monetize your project -- to...

    FMLA leave threatened to lose full time status.

    What will happen if you continue to work enough hours (and 30 hours per week should be enough to get to 1250 in the last 12 months), is that your benefits will be protected up to 360 (or up to 480 until they formally change your schedule) hours off per year (regular hours per week in the new...

    Overtime pay for exempt employee

    What are your job duties? If your job duties fall under one of the FLSA's exemptions, then yes, your boss can require you to work whatever hours they need. You can track your time, but if you fall under an exemption, then there is nothing you can do for overtime, etc. As to only two of the...

    Health Insurance

    Elle, I posted that same whole article yesterday and the OP comes back and asks another vague question....ugh! I too think he/she is trying to get child support lowered. But it doesn't look like mandatory health insurance is subtracted out of disposable earnings....but who knows what he/she is...

    Health Insurance

    Subtract out for what? Disposable income calcs (I answered that in your previous question). If you mean from income taxes, does your employer provide those through a pretax method (Section 125 plan) such that that income has already not been taxed? So they would already not be in your W-2...

    Mandatory pension contribution

    by any chance are you talking about the definition of "disposable earnings" that child support is being calculated on? Since you are talking about Child Support..I am assuming that is your perspective. Here's what I found: "New Jersey follows the Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA) when...

    withholding wages

    And since you didn't give enough information, I will give the general answer that any such deduction (even if legal) generally can not drop them below the minimum wage and overtime standards. But like Elle asks, what is the reason for the deduction? You might get a better answer.

    Defamation

    Did you sign a release of information/authorization for a background check? If so it probably indemnifies anyone who gives a reference. And the principal is allowed to state what he believes to be true. He could say something like "Items went missing while Michele worked for us or were gone...

    Hired and told owner was on vacation,to find out he's in prison and company is in a downward spiral.

    Sounds like a combination of assumptions, lies and not doing due diligence to research the state of the owner/company before you accepted the job. While his employees can hide a prison term, I have to doubt it wouldn't have popped up in company/name searches online. If you had any type of...

    Being photographed without permission

    If you have asked them to stop doing so, then I would take it to the next level of a counselor, principal or parent. Honestly I tell my kids to try to handle what they can first and then if I need to jump in, I will. But to try first. I agree that most schools have some type of policy...

    Question on Flat Fees and OT compensation

    There is a way to calculate this.....Hope I can write it out.... Basically take all pay for the workweek including the flat rate... and divide by total hours worked including all hours at the event. That will get you to regular rate of pay (RRP). From there, you have to look at how many OT...

    Health Insurance

    Agree, that they can and you need to ask for/watch for COBRA paperwork. They have quite a bit of time to send it out and then you have time to accept/decline. Since you are currently in the middle of a medical issue, COBRA is probably the way to go for a while. Then when you are better...
