George, she's saying the employer put the cameras in the residential facilities (homes) where care is provided for disabled adults. a8ksh4, this is perfectly legal as long as the cameras aren't placed in an area where an employee would clearly have an expectation of privacy, such as the...

With just a few exceptions for specific occupations, all non-exempt employees must be paid time an a-half for all hours worked over 40 in each 7-day fixed payroll period. Pay frequency makes no difference. If your employer is not complying with wage and hour laws, you can either (a) suggest to...

1. Contact CA's Department of Labor and file a complaint about your unpaid wages. 2. Start looking for a new job. I don't know if you're being scammed or you're working for a bunch of nincompoops but either way you need to move on asap.

Yes, you can tell him you're not interested. If he fires you, then you almost certainly have the basis of a claim for prohibited discrimination (religous.)

I see you're posting this on multiple employment law boards today, Gerry. Not only do all the boards I've seen you on only address U.S. laws, you haven't asked a question which is the only purpose of these boards. Further, by "naming names," you are leaving yourself open for a claim of slander...

I understand and this is a decision only you can make. You need to do what is right for you and your family. One other option to consider is to start looking for a new position elsewhere. Given everything that's going on in your workplace, it makes me seriously wonder how well this company...

This isn't a question of whether it's legal or illegal. The question is whether any promises made to you by the manager constituted a binding oral contract. That's not something anyone here can answer as it depends upon exactly what was said. If it does, you could have the basis of a civil...

Actually, signing someone else's name is not a crime unless a fraud is committed. I could sign myself Barbra Streisand if I wished but until I defrauded her or someone else by doing so, it wouldn't be a crime. I don't blame you for being totally ticked-off but the DOL has ruled in your...

How could I possibly argue SH if I willingly talked to him at first? (a) Because he's the one who took the conversation beyond discussing who you were dating and your love life into asking graphic and inappropriate questions, and (b) you have told him to STOP. I understand completely what...

All you can do is wait and see what happens.

Actually, Beth, I said she had several options and that was one of them, which it is. Yes, I understood that. I just think that one has "backfire" written all over it should she elect to do that. :) It has always been my belief that management will always win so I don't have any crazy...

Wow. Scheduling a daily prayer meeting while ignoring all the rest that's going on in this workplace is like putting a bandaid on a severed artery. Yikes. :eek: Jewelz, if this jerk comes at you again, you need to tell him straight on that his behavior is UNWELCOME and that it needs to...

I think they're upset about your decision and possibly acting foolishly too but that doesn't mean they don't have a bonafide cause of action against you. That depends precisely on what the contract you signed states. You need to show the document to a qualified attorney asap and find out if...

If I quit my current job, can I still file a claim against this employer Yes but I'd advise you to notify your current employer you have been diagnosed with work related carpal tunnel immediately. There is no sense in waiting and the longer you do following the visit to the doctor, the more...

Did you sign an employment contract when you accepted the job offer? If so, did it bind you to work for them for a specific length of time?

I agree with cbg. The person who interviewed you is an idiot who just kept shoving her foot further into her mouth. Some people just don't know when to shut-up. :eek: I think you'll have a very difficult time claiming race/national origin discrimination though as it apparently is obvious...

Sorry, no. Unforseen circumstances has resulted in your job offer being revoked. That does not give rise to a cause of action. Had they purposefully defrauded you during the recruiting phase (which does not remotely seem to be the case), then that would be a different situation.

His employer is obligated to file a worker's compensation claim with their WC insurance carrier. It's not clear from your post whether they have done that or not. The WC carrier and employer investigating the claim before determining whether they are liable for the injury is standard...

Sounds like it could be part of a wellness program the employer is instituting. Regardless, having a weight loss challenge at work with a bonus payable to the winner (or biggest loser) is not illegal.

The situation you describe would of course be extremely aggravating but you don't have a case for slander because you haven't suffered any damages. Nor is the guy being a complete and utter jerk illegal. What I suggest you do is return to HR and calmly but firmly explain to them that this...
