I am guessing your question is why did you not get overtime, and that cannot be explain since you do not say if it was 50 hours in one week, over several weeks, etc.

Potentially. Taxable as income, almost always and often they are run through as payroll and subject to withholding. Garnishment if the person paying knows it is to be garnished.

As to the pay cut, either you accept it or quit. Now, if you quit, you might still be eligible for unemployment either because of the pay reduction or the new distance. However, an extra 20 miles one way I believe is usually not enough, and the drop in pay is more of a percentage.... View More

Depends on how she was injured. If another player slide-tackled her, no, the college would not be liable. If she tripped over a sprinkler head that was improperly installed/maintained or something else related to the college, then potentially.

It does sound like you have case, especially for the battery. Meanwhile, since that can take some time, make sure and file for unemployment if you have not already. Then find an employment law attorney, as attorneys cannot solict your business, so you have to contact them. Best of luck.

Unlikely to have a personal injury case against your employer, as your sole remedy usually is a worker's compensation claim. That said, get a worker's compensation attorney to maximize your recovery, and they also should be able to tell you if you might have a case against your employer... View More

First, retaliation is hard to prove. Secondly, the retaliation has to be related to your reporting something to the landlord that is in regards to your tenancy. It would be hard to argue this is, though tangentially I am guessing it is. See this link that lays out the rule:... View More

Potentially, but not an easy case since the liquor store did not exactly do anything wrong, the guy did. You could go after the estate of the gunman, but given he was presumably robbing the place, likely no assets to go after.

Yes, they can pick and choose. The likely reason is that if you almost make it, then you are more likely to not get behind on your rent. But, if you are further down, then odds are higher they have to go to the co-signer, which is not exactly guaranteed to get them their money.

Doubtful. Even if you did, you need to file a federal tort claim notice first.

You do have some recourse. If you registered your images with the Copyright Office you have better options, but at the least you could send a take down letter/cease and desist letter.

Potentially not. Part of this depends on your exact age. See this for greater details: http://www.oregon.gov/BOLI/TA/pages/T_FAQ_Taminors.aspx

An employer can say not to work on a particular day, and if you then work on that particular day they usually do not have pay you for it as it is unauthorized. Otherwise an employee could just work whenever they wanted.

Plus, if the person worked on that day, that would also be... View More

Potentially, but the statute of limitations is 3 years on copyright infringement. So, you may need to act quickly.

You do not have a right to the video or the polices and procedures until after you sue. You would also ask for the sweep sheets, which tell you when they did their rounds. And it is never legal to record an in-person conversation without the consent of all people.

Read your lease. It likely prohibits commercial activities, and a day care would be a commercial activity.

It is up to you and your landlord to come to some sort of agreement as to your accommodations during the remodel, and you hold most of the power. If you agree to the hotel, be sure to get a reduction in rent to cover the extra costs of food. Lastly, be sure to get everything in writing. I handled a... View More

I am assuming the real question is if there is a valid sublease, and the answer is likely yes. Assuming the property manager has apparent or actual authority to the sublet tenant, then it would be valid. Now, the owner could certainly go after the property manager if they did not want the sublet,... View More

There is almost always negotiations, as there is a debate over what the costs actually are. That is, if the hospital charged $500 for your visit, but your health insurance only paid $200, how much does the insurance company have to pay? Plus, and this is where the bulk of the negotiations come... View More

Yes, you can. However, winning defamation cases is difficult, as opinion and the truth are defenses. Plus, it is hard to prove the damages, as in how much would you be owed. Lastly, collecting any money from a judgment can be difficult, unless the person has money or assets.
