Perfectly legal. Unfair doesn't equate to being illegal.

Indiana is silent on employees or ex-employees havbing access to their personnel file. The burden of proof is on the employer to show your were terminated for any sort of misconduct. To be honest, having your past prerformance reviews are not going to hold any weight with the hearing officer as...

De novo, unless the OP's situation is about their race, gender, age, religion or any other protected catergory, or is about sexual harassment, then it isn't a hostile work environment under the law. It may be an unfriendy or unpleasant work environement, but it is not illegal.

That is incorrect. Anyone, the employer or an employee can create a hostile work environment. All the employee must do, is be able to show that s/he is being subjected to either sexual harassment or illegal discrimination under Title VII (race, religion, national origin, age etc.) and anyone...

The employer doesn't have to have a policy regarding the smoking. They can take what action they desire regarding the issue.

It depends on what state you are in whether it is legal or not. But as an employer, legal or not, you don't have to allow it and can terminate someone for doing so. Do you have a policy against recordings?

Well To meet that definition, the employee must be able to show that s/he is being subjected to either sexual harassment or illegal discrimination under Title VII (race, religion, national origin, age etc.). It has nothing to do with the atmosphere of your workplace, no matter how unpleasant it...

Just how would the OP be creating a Hostile Work Environment?

The EEOC, in its Compliance Manual, offers the following examples of situations in which business necessity would justify an "English-only" rule: -- For communication with customers, co-workers, or supervisors who only speak English. -- In emergencies or other situations in which workers...

Simple answer is no. The equipment belongs to the employer and they can with as they choose.

You need to repay the money you owe. Other than that you don't have any grounds for anything. Nothing you have posted, suggests that your former employer is doing anything illegal.

The only thing I can see from your post that your employer is doing illegal is not paying you the overtime. File a wage claim with your state department of labor and the federal DOL.

No, for one a job description isn't required by law - federal or state.

My opinon on what? Again, you don't know the circumstances on why it went unclaimed. It very well could be that they refused it, but it doesn't do you any good to dwell on it at this point.

You don't know this for a fact. There could be another reason why it went unclaimed. It would be no more unethical for them as it would be for you not accept a piece of mail, no matter what the circumstances are. Again, you don't know it was deliberate and that decision is up to the state of...

Legal action for what? Come on! you are employed and your mother has a boyfriend who just happens to be your boss. If you don't like the situation, find other employment.

Sounds like JoeC to me. How ya doing Joe?

I expected that kind of response from you. Just adds to your lack of credibility and professional.

Well I can see you can't discuss anything without becoming an insulting jerk, but that's ok, the OP and others can certainly read what a high class professional you are not. Oh for the record, I have been in more law offices then you could fathom and currently work closely with one of the...
