No one here can advise you what your best course of action is because we know nothing about your WC claim. All we can tell you is that if you don't think you are being well-advised by your attorney, you are free to get a second legal opion from another WC attorney.

I think you should talk to your attorney. Other than that you have a worker's compensation claim dispute, I have no clue what you're talking about.

What can I do to collect this money? You will need to file a civil suit against the employer. I suggest you discuss your situation with an attorney asap.

Do they legally have a right to fire me if there is no documentation about this? Yes. What do I say when I'm interviewing for other companies? You need to stick to the truth and explain the circumstances, just as you have above. The worst thing that could happen is if you tell prospective...

I was looking for a intuitive/experienced thought from someone but I can see that this board is nothing more that the typical cookie cutter answers one could get from any website. Nobody has a crystal ball no matter how many websites you post a question like this on.

I can't answer that because you are asking for specific legal advice, which is not appropriate for anyone other than an attorney licensed to practice in your State to give you.

The Georgia Department of Labor told me there was nothing they could do. Huh? :confused: She hasn't be paid any wages or the tips due her in TWO MONTHS and the State DOL said they could do nothing? That's ridiculous. Unfortunately, GA's DOL website is extremely unhelpful in providing...

You need to consult with a local attorney. Your situation is too specific to be appropriately addressed in a venue such as this.

At my place of employment, several employees have begun gathering, on a semi-regular basis, in different areas of the office to conduct prayer sessions. Sometimes, they do it on their break time, and sometimes they do it right out in open in the office. So they're taking a "prayer break"...

Is there chance? Sure. Will they? Nobody here could possibly know.

If you believe copies of pertinent employment documents that should be in your personnel file were not sent to you in violation of State law, then yes, contact HR again and ask for the specific documents you are looking for. I can't advise you what documents your employer keeps however. Some...

So your boss denied the time off request due to a change in circumstances at work and you took off anyway? You're lucky you weren't fired. While I can appreciate it's aggravating to be told you could have the time off and then have the decision reversed, you were indeed insubordinate and the...

Do religious beliefs automatically receive higher recognition over non-religious beliefs in terms of discrimination? To the extend that the law requires an employer to make a reasonable attempt to accommodate religious beliefs, yes. However the law defines religious beliefs quite broadly...

Leah, this particular board deals with employment law issues. You might want to repost your question on another board here, probably one that handles personal injury law.

If you have an employee who is causing problems by spreading misinformation about you in the workplace, it's up to you to deal with that and as a supervisor you should have the authority to do so. I suggest you and your boss call him in for a "discussion" and make it clear if he does not stop...

How can I protect myself and my staff as it relates to the line of questioning? I suppose you can ask to have a your own attorney present when being questioned by the police. I can't advise you on whether they have to allow you to do so however since we're getting into the area of criminal...

In Texas, employers only have to pay separating employees for unused vacation if the employer has a policy of doing so.

Why should our employer be involved with an argument over a person’s girlfriend after hours, at a bar? They probably shouldn't and wouldn't be if the councilman wasn't making a huge deal out of this and probably turned the whole situation into a political hot potato. I'd guess the police don't...

There's no separate law that addresses this. All forms of gender discrimination, including sexual harassment, is prohibited by Title VII which can be found at www.eeoc.gov. What you're really looking for is case law on third party sexual harassment to see how the courts have interpreted that...

LETS FLIP THE SCRIPT WITH THIS ONE! How about turning off the caps lock? It makes your post is very difficult to read. I ADVISED THEM THAT THIS PERSON IS TO BAN FROM ENTRY DUE TO HIS CONDUCT, THE TENANT AGREED. MANAGEMENT IS NOW FORCING ME TO LET THIS PERSON ENTER THE COMPLEX STATING THE...
