The business were the ones who stated there was a PA law that prohibited standing with the drink, I was unable to find it. As for refusing service, they had already served us, it was our first drink at the establishement, and the only reason why it escalated was because the bouncer decided he...

So this past weekend my cousins and I were at a bar for drinks after a family get together. While at this bar, they had tables and chairs outside and patrons of the bar were sitting there with drinks. The waitress told my cousins and myself that becuase I was standing up on the sidewalk and not...

So this type of thing is common in traffic court?

No, I have not been to traffic court, so am not aware of how things work in that system. I would still think that if my case was under appeal that they would not continue along the path that they have chosen, even if I was ignorant as to how the system worked in VA when I live in Central PA. I...

Back in July I was driving in Clarke County VA to go to a birthday party for my aunt. I was driving down a 4-lane highway (Route 17 I believe) and did not see any speed limit signs, so i set the cruise control at 70 since i believed it was a rural Interstate and the limit was automatically 65...

no case for suing for either of them unless you were in a protected class and can prove discharge was for that. You can always call the HR person and discuss it with them and see if they would take you back, but that's up to you. Legally, I don't see a case where you would receive any sort of...

Depends on how the employer treats vacation time. Some of them will pay it upon termination, some state that any vacation time not used is lost. If you have a handbook, I would check it to see. If not, could possibly call your state's Bureau of Labor Law Compliance to have them check into it...

Sounds like a case that will be granted benefits. Your state Unemployment Compensation Center will look at all of the facts regarding this case and determine whether or not you have committed willful misconduct. As an adjudicator, I would look at whatever documentation you had (try to get as...

I would be careful with this since it was "rumored" that she had said this thing, and I'm assuming the basis for the termination? It should be noted that in this post there is no reason as to the exact reason she was terminated and whether or not she was in an outlined probationary period. Once...

cbg seems right on the ball with this one. The employer CAN fire you for this reason since you were there on company business (I assume you were? and they were paying for it?) and when questioned about your actions you were not forthright in explaining the situation. They are not breaking any...

On their end by law they do not have to tell the prospective employer as to the reasons you were temrinated, just that you are un-rehirable, at least in my state. As to what you should divulge on an application or other form is the truth to the severance of your last job (terminated) and that it...

I don't know Texas law per se, but if these are some of the tasks that need accomplished for this internship, I don't see why they would be legally wrong to do this since you would have known what type of business they had and could expect to do something like this. However, that is only...

GH is right on this one and I would talk to an attorney. As for the unemployment benefits, you would be considered a termination and not a voluntary quit under the law since you really didn't have an option when they said resign or immediately get terminated. Depending on the employer, and it...

Your employer has every right to terminate you in any instance, whether they are in the right or in the wrong. Before they do so, I highly recommend getting in contact with your union and discuss the matter with them first and see what can be done on that end. With the documentation from the...

Absolutely legal. As cbg mentioned, they should probably tell you as to whether or not they will cover the whole cost or part of it, but they are not breaking the law by making you do that.

Employer was investigating whether or not something that could one day become a much bigger can of worms needed to be nipped in the bud. If the other employees were unwilling to substantiate the claim, that's up to them. Whether or not your wife was transferred because of this or another reason...

Sounds like a fire to me. Did you just leave or ask your manager beforehand about whether or not you were terminated?

The only way that this can become a matter of employment law is whether or not the company unilaterally changes the original job description so much and makes it so onerous as to compell a person with ordinary common sense and prudence to quit the position. However, it HAS to be unbearable, not...

As your actions in and out of work are a direct correlation to you being a government employee, the employer can justly terminate you for conduct that falls outside of the code of ethics, especially since the misconduct happened during company hours!

While it would seem unjust and unfair for an employer to terminate an employee, especially under these conditions, it is their right to do so under the law. The best thing to do at this moment while you look into possible legal recourse for the possible FMLA violation is to at least have some...
