1)shouldn't the director of HR speak with me, the filing complainant first? Perhaps, but since your complaint doesn't have anything to do with a violation of any employment laws, they don't have to investigate at all, much less follow any particular protocol. Why would she have to wait for...

Can I be terminated for answering NO to that question? That isn't the issue here. You were working for a State agency and presumably in some occupation aligned with the criminal justice system. Of course they're not going to retain an employee whom they discover has an outstanding felony...

How can you hire someone and then not give them any work? Is this against the law or just unethical? No laws compel an employer to actually provide work to someone they've hired. I think you may have missed the actual legal issue here. In most instances, training time must be paid. Sounds...

The bottom line is that without reading the insurance plan document or contract and what the eligibilty requirements are for participation, nobody can know whether your employer is violating any laws. I agree the situation looks suspect but if you aren't privy to the Plan details, then I just...

If you were insubordinate, then the employer had every right to fire you provided they would have treated a similarly situated employee in the same manner. Being approved for FMLA and potentially having a disability that falls under the ADA does not mean the employer has to tolerate misconduct.

You're in the wrong forum - your situation doesn't have anything to do with employment laws. You need to repost under business law/contracts. More than that though, you need to see an attorney in person. You may well have a claim to bring against the contractor for the value of the property...

Yes. If company policy prohibits you from having a passenger with you unless it's expressly approved by management, they were within their rights to terminate you.

Nope, there are no laws prohibiting this. If an employer wants to have "cocktail hour" 24/7 on their premesis, they are free to do so no matter how bad an idea it is. It's certainly possible an employer could have civil liability if a drunken employee gets killed or kills someone while driving...

While you may feel this discrimination, the law does not agree with you. As I said above, nothing in your posts remotely suggests anything illegal has taken place. They can pay this other person ten times what you make and it would still be perfectly legal.

Guess I'll go back to working on my car... :rolleyes:

Contact your State's Department of Labor and file a complaint for the unpaid wages.

No, it's not illegal. I expect your phone number is available through any number of means if someone wanted to get hold of it, i.e. your local white pages, on the web, etc. An employer giving out employees' phone numbers and addresses is not a good practice but it's not illegal.

Can I file any type of civil suit for my employer not submitting to the workers comp carrier my lost time and making me wait 2 months No. You can file a complaint with your State's Worker's Compensation Division if you feel your employer unlawfully delayed filing your WC claim. is there a...

It's not exactly an effective motivational tool :rolleyes: but it's legal. No laws require the boss to be a nice guy or know how to properly manage employees. If he does this, I can only suggest the crew have some fun with it. How about everyone wearing pink hard hats the first time...

Your co-worker is not violating any laws therefore the employer isn't obligated to do anything about her behavior. What you describe does not constitute prohibited harassment. I think your employer ought to do something about her for numerous reasons (too many personal phone calls on work...

If you feel your back injury was caused by your job, you need to tell your employer that and inform them you wish to file a worker's compensation claim. Your employer's WC insurance carrier will investigate and make a determination whether they are liable for your lost time and medical bills...

I believe this is a violation of state and federal law, correct me if I am wrong please Worker's compensation laws are State laws, not federal. Each State has it's own unique WC regulations. Can I go after my employer with a civil suit, and certain individuals with a civil suit. They made...

Insurance is not being offered to the part-timer because of her sex. It's presumably because the boss has a romantic interest in her which is a different matter entirely. Or you could be completely barking up the wrong tree. She may have made benefits conditional upon accepting the job offer...

skott, one can only assume that management had some basis for concern that you had formed a romantic or sexual interest in this co-worker. Perhaps they completely misinterpreted something you did or said. It happens. Perhaps the company had a nasty sexual harassment situation last year and...

Of course you need to return the laptop. Your attempts to portray it as a gift is an absurd stretch. The laptop was clearly provided by the employer for work purposes (just like your desk and telephone) and must be returned when you leave. No, you do not remotely have a case. Return the...
