Unless you can establish that you are being treated this way because you are a member of a protected class of people or because you engaged in some kind of legally protected conduct, there is likely no recourse for you. Absent these unlawful motives, bosses are allowed to be bullies, to single out... View More

A Georgia employment attorney could advise best and should have first opportunity to respond, but if your deposition is in two days and it's already past 5:00 pm today, I wanted to prevent you from losing valuable time awaiting a response.

It looks like your pay is on an hourly basis.

Your question hopefully will be answered by an employment law attorney, because it is not a workers' compensation issue unless your father's hip problems are the result of a work injury (accident or repetitive activities).

DO NOT FIGHT WITH OTHER EMPLOYEES. YOU CAN BE TERMINATED AND/OR GET HURT.
If someone threatens you, take out your phone and film them.
Be careful what you say - do not threat anyone with harm.
The employer has the obligation to enforce the written tip sharing policy.... View More
