While it sounds like disability discrimination, the case will likely be difficult to prove unless you have documentation showing your employer verbally agreed to allow you more time as a reasonable accommodation for your disability.

Is this legal inTexas?
answered on Mar 24, 2023
More information is needed in this case. While employers are required to grant reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities (psychiatric concerns do qualify as a disability), employers cannot accommodate what they do not know about. However, if the employer did know about the request... Read more »
I have proof of retaliation.
answered on Mar 21, 2023
First, each wrongful termination case is very fact specific, there is no "average" compensation standard.
Second, more important, an employee seeking a transfer is not a legally protected right that would support a retaliation claim unless it is motivated by hostility toward to... Read more »

I worked for an employer in March of 2021. I experienced a hostile work environment from management cursing at us all day and threatening our jobs.

She told me this week that they found the right insurance and just now filed a claim, I have been waiting almost a year, there was even a hearing and I was told the other party never showed up.

I find this explanation very suspicious. Your Worker's Compensation claim is not filed with the insurance company, it is filed with your employer, and makes no difference which worker's comp insurance company insures the company. It is up to the employer to notify their insurance company.... Read more »
I was hired by a company as an intern. I was then granted access to a percentage of my clients. At the start of 2022. My employer sent us a work agreement where he stated we had to agree to 40 hours in office + occasional nights and weekends. He then proceeded to pay us all year in 1099. Ive now... Read more »

I was helping a elderly couple who came to MN since 6/2022 from Laos do their first time State ID. It took me about half an hour to get it done. The next day I was called into the office by my manager to ask why I took half an hour to do a simple transaction that can take 15min. I explain to my... Read more »

This is not a criminal law issue. I'm not sure that suing your manager would be particularly beneficial unless your manager has deep pockets. I suggest that you report the manager to his higher ups and allow them to address the issue internally.
If it's not, what do I do about it?
answered on Mar 11, 2023
While there are some exceptions, it is typically illegal for a company to not hire you in New York based solely on a positive drug test for THC. If that's what they did, and why they did it, and no exceptions apply, you can sue them.
In January of 2022, I filed a complaint against my manager to her manager. I also involved HR since a similar complaint that was filed two years prior was overlooked by her manager. Almost immediately after her manager spoke to her, she began retaliating against me. She began excluding me from... Read more »

There is no such list. Individual companies can designate a former employee as not eligible for rehire, and that company can tell prospective new employers about that designation, but even then the company would be acting unlawfully if they place that designation on a former employee because that...

You can but it’s probably a loser. Kentucky is an employment at will state which means you can be terminated for any reason or no reason at all. If it was a commercial test rather than a home test, it would have made your case much stronger.
I received an email of me being terminated from my employer due to being pregnant. I filed a charge with EEOC.
