What State the new company is in or incorporates in is very likely irrelevant but if you want an exact opinion, you're going to have to consult with an attorney. What State YOU'RE in is totally irrelevant. Do I understand that the amount of tuition monies we're talking about is $65,000...

You are free to contact your former clients and explain that you no longer work for this company and did not write the letter. As to the employer's misrepresentation, that stinks and it is certainly unethical but they didn't violate any laws nor have you indicated that you've been damaged by...

If there is no agreement or policy in writing about repayment, then the odds are pretty good that the company has no legal basis to pursue her for repayment if she quits. And even if there is, whether they will come after her for repayment is a toss-up. This varies considerably by company and...

A) There's no such thing as "reverse" discrimination. There is simply prohibited discrimination, period. B) That is just about the STUPIDEST policy I've ever heard of. Here's the deal though: while discrimination due to marital status is prohibited by some States, I'm not aware of...

If your medical costs and any lost time are being taken care of by the WC carrier and you aren't having any problems with your employer, then I agree you don't need an attorney. Not all WC situations are contentious. The majority of them result in the individual being paid the benefits they...

"has any one heard of a company coming after an ex employee to repay student tuition fees.???" Sure. In fact I had to threaten to bring suit against a management employee who left my company not long ago owing $10,000 in tuition repayment. There are two issues that can't be answered here...

You should contact your State's Department of Labor/wage and hour division immediately and file a complaint. Not only was your employer in violation of wage and hour laws by not paying you and others for work time, it also appears you were fired in retalliation for bringing this to their...

We don't know the status of your WC claim (whether it's been accepted or denied), the exact medical diagnosis, the prognosis, whether surgery has been recommended, what type of work you do, whether you will be left with a lasting impairment, whether vocational rehabilitation is in order, whether...

A few States have laws that require employers to provide a private place (other than the restroom) for nursing mothers to express milk. I don't know if CA is one of those States but if you contact CA's department of labor, I'm sure they can tell you. I wouldn't be surprised if California is...

Duplicate post.

1. That's a little confusing but what I gather is that your employer schedules work hours so that nobody works over 40 hours per week and thus they don't have to pay anyone overtime. That's perfectly legal. (I'm also assuming you are non-exempt (hourly paid.) If you are exempt, they could...

"Can anyone tell me how long these cases take before they pay?" There is absolutely no way to determine that as there are a myriad of issues involved. You should discuss this with your attorney.

You should be okay if you smarten up and keep your mouth shut. In order to pursue you for a slander suit, the supervisor would have to show damages which presumably he/she has not yet sustained. That would be a personal civil action against you though. Your employer is perfectly free to...

Maybe. But all you can do is present all that medical documentation at the WC hearing and let the State rule. The judge may well rule that the employer/WC carrier is liable for some of your medial expenses and lost time but not all. The WC carrier wouldn't have denied the claim and stood firm...

Your attornies have absolutely no reason not to be on your side. #1 - the cannons of the legal profession REQUIRE them to aggressively represent your best interests and #2 - they are only compensated for their services if you receive compensation from the WC carrier. So on two fronts, they...

"Must the employer pay him for those two weeks?" Nope. "Has he any other rights, other than unemployment?" Nope. If the employer wishes to accept his resignation immediately, they may. Since information heard "through the grapevine" is notoriously unreliable, I suggest your son talk to...

"So should I just keep calling this case manager, or should I find another attorney" You should do both. You need to talk to the case manager and you need legal counsel. If this attorney isn't returning your phone calls, then contact other WC attornies in your area.

The issue is whether the employer has filed a First Report of Injury with their WC carrier. If your employer has not or they refuse to tell you, then contact your State's Worker's Compensation Division and report the injury. They will file the claim on your behalf with the employer and the WC...

Yes, they are still liable for your WC claim. The fact that your employment has ended has no bearing on their responsibility for your work injury.

If you wish to use this method of birth conrol, that is your choice. If your employer wishes you to cover it up and wear a shirt with sleeves while at work, that is their's. As I said before, this is not remotely discrimination nor do any discrimination laws prohibit your employer from...
