Excuse me... WAIT time not wage time. We are expected to sit and wait, clocked out, while work comes in.

What about wage time/engaged to wait issues? http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs22.htm

I am a medical transcriptionist. I live in Oklahoma, but my employer is in Pennsylvania. They are a private company. I have been employed full time with this company for 5 years 8 months. I do not know precisely how many employees this company has. I have heard around 50 but then was told...

Late to this discussion, but this has started to become a problem in the state of Oklahoma. Many employers are using OSBI background checks, and those checks dredge up information that is sometimes decades old. I know many people who have had cases dismissed (i.e., never even went before a...

Thank you. This has been such a shock. It went from having stomach pain to "I'm sorry, it's cancer and it's terminal" in one day. Unfortunately, while the family does not really care about the money per se, it has become an issue because its presence or lack thereof is keeping her from...

This is a tax question, but some background needs to be given. In June, my mother-in-law (MIL) was diagnosed with terminal cancer. She is deteriorating rapidly. She is 70. She lives on the other side of the state near my husband's sister. The sister was made power-of-attorney because MIL's...

Is there anything I can do regarding their refusal to provide a statement regarding the number of employees they have? As stated above, I could receive my state's insurance, but the state is not willing to just take my word regarding the fact that my employer does or does not have 99...

This involves two states. I am in Oklahoma. My employer is in Pennsylvania. I work at home/telecommute. I have worked for them for 4 years and am an employee rather than an independent contractor. As part of our benefits package for being employees, we are to receive insurance (medical...

Three years ago my son suffered an injury on a school merry-go-round. The equipment was broken, ill maintained, and he was basically unsupervised at the time. He had to have surgery on his arm, 10 weeks in a cast, and spent a year wearing a brace. He has a permanent deformity to his arm. We...

I am trying to find a way. A very sad thing happened recently. The police officer was sitting at the RR crossing, handing out his daily dose of tickets, and a fight ensued at a bar that was on the other side of the RR tracks, probably about 200-300 yards away. The officer was in the midst of...

I just wanted to post a followup. My mother went to court. The judge took one look at her, looked at the ticket, snorted, and dismissed it entirely. She paid nothing. Thank you all so much for your support and advice!

Thanks, Army Judge, and thanks, Mightymoose for the relevant OK law. I don't see anything that she did that was wanton disregard for others' safety. Oklahoma also has a "speed trap law" that states no more than 50% of a town's revenue can come from traffic citations; however, the only way...

Okay, Oklahoma. I tried to put links but I don't have enough posts yet. So please google: Bubbaworld Brokeback PD and Muskogee Phoenix and the subject "Okay Police Force Fired." I will warn you to swallow any solid food or liquids before reading these articles. This is your official...

My 75-year-old mother was driving through this tiny town, on her way to another town to do errands. Two state highways intersect in this town. Both are two-lane highways. Basically farm-to-market roads. However, about 20 feet before the intersection, a train track runs diagonally across both...

I thought I would quickly post an update. I filed complaints with every organization and governing body I could find. I filed with the Colorado Attorney General, the USPS Inspector's Service for identity and credit card theft (who knew they handled it? ...but they do), and the FBI's IC3...

Not on your life. I don't do extortion (pay me or I'll give you a criminal record). :D There are other rental places out there. Hundreds of them. I just don't want a criminal record, thought I did find their county court records, entered my name, and don't see anything.

Thank you, Army Judge. I truly appreciate your input on this. I want to make sure my bases are covered. While writing my original post, the "police department" called again... both my home phone and cell phone. That's getting old. We used to live in that state and hope to return some...

On April 7th, I arranged to rent a condo in a resort town and paid in full online via debit/credit card (a debit with the Visa logo). On 06/19/2010 we checked in to our unit. We were there until the morning of 06/23/2010, at which time we checked out and came home. Five days later I...
