You're getting way off track from the point of the thread. Let's get back on track, please.

And that's not a valid reason to be angry? C'mon, Judge.

The problem is, few employer even allow appeals of terminations outside of a union setting. I've been in HR for over 40 years and I've yet to hear of one. That you are even getting to appeal is enough of a rarity that no one here has any kind of an idea what to expect; this is just not something...

The phone number has now been edited out while I decide whether to delete the spam post altogether or not.

Obama, as opposed to O'bama, would do nicely.

Our former president's name is NOT spelled with an apostrophe, whether there are others whose are, or not, and regardless of his ancestry. You're spelling it wrong. That makes you look foolish, whether it is or is not intentional on your part.

By the way, do you think you're insulting Obama or making some kind of point about him by spelling his name as if he were Irish? You're doing neither. You're only making yourself look foolish.

Until the Convention has taken place, the Democratic National Party is free to choose anyone they care to as their nominee. Just as the Republican party can.

Okay, we're getting off track. jsmith123, if you have any updates or additional questions, message either Adjuster Jack or me. Otherwise, this thread is done.

Are you asking whether or not your employer is now contractually prohibited from firing you? If not, then what are you asking?

Please understand that the DL is not proof. You could be lying (I am not saying you are lying) when you say you never had that picture taken but the picture itself is proof that the picture WAS taken. It is not proof that it was taken without your knowledge.

That was what I was trying to get at with my questions. However, the OP has not responded.

Long, long time HR manager here. Just for clarification, there is no such legal term as an "unjust termination". I think the phrase you may be looking for is wrongful termination. As Jack, who has been reading my responses for a great many years, indicated, for a wrongful termination claim you...

Is your dental insurance through your employer or did you buy it individually?

I was thinking FMLA but yeah, if the burn was bad enough I suppose the ADA could come into play as well. In any case, I think you and I and the manager all agree that this isn't a road he wants to go down and that just letting him have the time off is the better solution.

It's your supervisor's decision. If he doesn't want to fire the guy, that's up to him.

Your manager is mistaken, but he's not entirely off the wall either. There are laws that protect an employee from being fired for missing work due to illnesses. They wouldn't apply in this case, but they do exist. Besides, firing someone for calling in one day is a bit extreme, don't you think?

Let's see if we can simplify this. When I got married, I took a copy of our marriage certificate to the local Social Security office. They began their process, whatever it is at their end, and right there and then gave me a piece of paper that said I had officially changed my name with them. I...

Your employer has no legal obligation to complete your forms.

I'm sorry, but this is primarily a US board and the law in the US is not the same as the law in the UK. You need to find a UK board as I don't think anyone here has any knowledge of UK family law. I don't know anything about this board but it came up in a Google search. There may be others...
