I assume you filed a complaint? Not much you can do except wait.
I told the adjusters something in confidence and the other store managers going around telling other employees that I faked getting injured at work even though I had a witness and I had a previous injury in a different state years ago where a customer ran me over in the parking lot and she's...

Tell your workers compensation attorney about this. If you do not have a workers compensation attorney, you need to get one right away. Do not let the company and its workers compensation attorney cheat you out of what you deserve, and don't let this kind of retaliation go on without an... Read more »

The employee elevated unlawful discrimination and harassment complaint by a Manager. After the complaint, HR ignored and didn’t issue consequences to supervisor who harassed employee which led to pervasive sabotage and stress. The employee had a disability and informed the employer, they... Read more »
It could be used as evidence of retaliation. It would be a stretch, but it might be part of a claim of intentional infliction of severe emotional distress. I don't see how it would fit into a fraud cause of action.
Keep in mind that retaliation is only unlawful if the trigger for the... Read more »
A new manager put in place a rule that if you are asking for time off you must provide a reason for that request. If the reason isn't good enough, you are denied your request. The request sheet is left out so that anyone can see your request.
Yes. Since paid time off is not required by law, employers have a lot of discretion to define the terms of when and how employees can use it. If you don't want your requests to be seen by others, you can ask to mark the days you'd like off on the sheet and separately email or message your... Read more »
My job recently implemented an English-only rule. I work at a fast food place and while English is the language most spoken by our employees, we do have quite a few employees who speak only speak Spanish. Is it legal to require them to speak English at all times while on the clock? Management says... Read more »
An English only policy is forbidden under California law. Employers with at least five employees cannot limit or prohibit the use of any language in the workplace, except in rare circumstances when they can demonstrate a legitimate business necessity do so.
Good luck to you.

You should file a complaint with the Kentucky Labor Board. They enforce workplace labor violations.
Seems like a huge risk for the employer if they were to get caught. Curious to know if there is a legal strategy behind giving the green light on IIED. interested to know (theoretically) why legal would encourage that behavior considering it is unlawful. Would an employer take that risk if there... Read more »
Interesting question and sorry to hear you were poorly treated. Why would an employer take risks as you describe- in a hypothetical situation? One possible reason is that if you are claiming that you suffered a stress injury as a result of your work/workplace, that would be in the worker's... Read more »
I live in Washington State. I have gone by my middle name now for more than 30 years. My employer requires that my birth certificate name appear on my Outlook and the program our company uses to manage clients. With my close co-workers, this doesn't matter, but there are enough people I... Read more »
In Washington state, while a common law name change based on usage is recognized, changing the name on your birth certificate requires a court order. The process is relatively inexpensive costs a few hundred dollars. For more info, go to:... Read more »
This camera send notifications to his phone whenever the sensor is activated. In midst of an altercation with him he admitted to placing that camera there specifically for me even though there are many people who work in that office I just happen to work alone on night shift. He has stooped as low... Read more »
There are laws against recording people on cameras without their knowledge, but assuming that you knew about it, your boss doesn't need your permission.
If the condition is something categorized by ADA as being a chronic condition. And the overtime hours that he'd be working were never discussed.
Generally speaking, the terms of employment are between the parties and can be changed at anytime, and a doctor’s note need not be accepted by an employer. The exception is if the employer has enough employees to be covered by the ADA and the situation deals with a reasonable accommodation... Read more »
My dad is my boss at work. He left my mother for one of our coworkers. She's half his age and has only been there six months. She's made sexual advances at me that I blow off. Well he fell for it. The day after he left my mother I arrived at work and he started bossing me on things to do... Read more »
I would find a new job and leave the drama behind. Your dad sounds like a jerk.
The owner of a restaurant I work at allows his wife to take tables and collect tips, taking tables away from his employees to do so. He will even ask employees to come in and work with his wife while paying them a flat fee, and she collects more in tips than the other employee is compensated, even... Read more »
1. Florida and federal law require restaurant owners to pay employees the current minimum wage but the law does not tell employers how they must do it.
2. Some restaurants do not allow tipping at all, but instead choose to pay their employees on an hourly or shift basis.
3. Any... Read more »
7 years is way past the statute of limitations for employment discrimination.
I currently work for a remote company and I reside in the state of Florida. I have been working for this company for a few months and the only break given was a 20 minute paid break for an 8-hour shift. They now sent out a form to sign stating that we must take a 30-minute unpaid meal break, even... Read more »
Yes. Florida law does not require Florida employers to give employees any breaks, period. Some do, some don't. They get to decide. Why?
Because Florida is an “at-will” state, which means private employers are free to solicit, hire, promote, demote, suspend, terminate, reinstate,... Read more »
we have never signed a contract regarding pto nor has a published employee handbook stating pto guidelines been given to me. i am a salaried employee and my time off has never been an issue before as long as my hours are worked at some point or my work is up to date.
Yes. There are no laws that require employers to offer benefits such as PTO, so if your employer chooses to offer it, they can require you use it if you will miss work.
I’m still able and required to fulfill the same job duties as my co workers but I’m being singled out from a significant raise due my religious exemption vs vaccination.
It could be. How large is this employer? How many employees are there in total that received raises? Were your co-workers employees longer than you were with this company? Do they have the same type of job as you do? The employer must be able to articulate the reasons why you were not treated... Read more »
Thanks and there could be a minimum wage or overtime violation for being forced to work that much in Arkansas. It depends on if you are getting an overtime premium payment for hours over 40 in a workweek. It also depends on your rate of pay, or if you are paid a salary

He set up a date for me to walk in that was March 25 at 8:30am and as soon as I walked in he already found a different way of firing me and... Read more »
You may have a claim for retaliation under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, but this will depend on what you told your boss in your complaint. Your complaint must be "protected" under the law, meaning your complaint of harassment must be based on your race, sex, age, disability, and/or... Read more »
