it could be both.
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 »

Yes. It would be viewed as a voluntary quit. Companies can mandate vaccines unless you have a medical or religious exemption.
According to our US Constitution, Federal and State Citied Laws, this is absolutely illegal and unlawful to require or lose your job.
It is not unlawful for your employer to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine as a condition of employment. However, your employer is obligated to consider exemption requests if they are based on medical or religious reasons.
This question has been asked and answered previously.
New Jersey is a one person consent state. But this is not a clearcut question and without specific facts, a determination cannot be made.

On 3/5 I was told to start working from home due to my immune system. Last week I was 1 of many asked to volunteer to resign. I don't plan on resigning. My Oncologist gave me a letter stating I'm not immune compromised since it's been 7 yrs that I'm in remission. When do I send... Read more »
You should provide the doctor’s note to your employer as soon as you possibly can. Also, if you are eventually terminated, you should contact an experienced employment law attorney to evaluate all of the facts surrounding the termination as you may have a claim for perceived disability...

This comes one week after I informed them that I am pregnant and one week after they issued themselves $75000-$84000 bonuses. They claim my pay reduction from $60000 to $40000 (now only female and least paid employee) is due to a slow in business. They offered me 10000 shares if and when the... Read more »
Reach out to an employment attorney in your state for a consultation. It sounds like this pay cut came right after you announced your pregnancy, and discrimination based on pregnancy is unlawful.
HR and top management did nothing. I recently found out from one of the HR members that this same employee has multiple pending sexual harassment lawsuits against him and the company. Which our company is settling. I asked for this employee to be kept away from me if these allegations are true.... Read more »
If the harassment is not sexual in nature, and is not based on your membership in a protected class (race, gender, age, etc.), then there is little protection available under the law. You should consult an employment attorney in your area to discuss the specific type of behavior to which the... Read more »
Am I allowed by Law to get paid paternal leave? If yes , for how long . I know that companies with 30 employees and more must provide their employees with paid leave, just not sure what is the laws saying about smaller businesses. Thank you.
Hi, the federal law governing medical leave, the Family Medical Leave Act ("FMLA") does not require the employer to give you *paid* leave. It protects your job if you take unpaid leave, however. One issue I see is whether or not your employer is covered by the FMLA. You state the employer... Read more »
Set an agreed upon lower base with a high compensation plan. Did a great job with sales and now my employer told me he was cutting my compensation plan by 75% because I made too much money. But also congratulations me on performance. Told me no room for negotiation and I had to give my answer... Read more »
This will depend on whether you have a written employment contract stating that you would be paid the agreed-upon amount for a specific amount of time (for example, for the next year). If you don't have this, then unfortunately you do not have a claim under federal law, as the Fair Labor... Read more »
I have a part time job where an undocumented employee got injured on the job and the employer is asking him to fill out an I-9 verification form so that he can pay the medical bills. By the looks of things it seems like my boss is trying to get rid of him and not actually pay for the medical bills,... Read more »
Both your boss and the undocumented worked are in violation of Federal law. It is unwise to post anything further about this in a public forum monitored by law enforcement. There is no attorney-client privilege online and this situation is far beyond the scope of this forum.
It depends on a number of factors including:
Your underlying disability conditions;
Whether you have requested disability accommodations;
The union contract or other policy under which you were drug tested;
The safety sensitivity of your position;
Past... Read more »
What was their basis for the termination? Consider a consultation for a case evaluation.
I told my boss and one manager that I was pregnant and asked them not to tell anyone else. My whole job now knows and I feel uncomfortable at work. Are they allowed to share my information against my wishes?
You can sue a small business, if you have a legitimate cause of action. Otherwise, you could end up paying the other side legal fees and costs. Your situation is questionable, absent more facts.
intended purpose of the video tapping included intimidation and to challenge the plaintiffs disability status
Probably not, as I believe that each party has the right to notice videotaped depositions under the federal rules of civil procedure and the District Court’s Local Rules. You should be able to obtain an agreement from defense counsel, or a consent order, limiting the dissemination of the video to... Read more »
Isn't that some form of discrimination?
There is no law that requires an employer to give an employee a day off for Thanksgiving. Not every comment that a person makes that another one does not like is a basis for discrimination.
Yes, it could be a form of age discrimination. Consider a consultation if you have further questions.
