Yes, the Right to Sue means you have 90 days from the date of the Right to Sue to file your lawsuit. It can be filed by you (called filing pro se, without a lawyer) or you can search for attorneys to file it for you. I would not rely on finding an attorney - you should be mindful of the filing...

Generally, yes. Employers can require the usage of PPE to protect employees against the spread of COVID-19. Is the employer singling you out by requesting that only you wear one? Is there a specific reason you do not wish to wear one, like a religious reason, for example?

Q: I was working for amazon when I came down with symptoms for COVID-19. Can I sue then for wrongful termination?

This was before America had any knowledge of the virus. I came down with all of the symptoms and a horrible full body rash. The hospital also had no idea what was going on. Amazon let me go because I couldn’t work due to me being extremely sick. Can I sue for wrongful termination?

Q: I was fired from a job (OH). After, I applied for unemployment, and it was deemed I was fired without just cause.

Is there anything I can do, such as take legal action? I was under contract, and it said that I could be terminated at any time, but I wasn't sure if since it was without just cause if there was anything I can do. I do have in black and white that I was fired "without just cause."

Why were you terminated? The "just cause" standard is just the standard to receive Unemployment Compensation. It typically has no bearing on whether there is a legal violation.

Q: Is an employer required to pay me for Unused accrued vacation time?

I was let go from my job right before I was able to take my vacation. Are they required to pay that out to me with my final paycheck?

It depends on the employer's policy. If the employer has a written policy that says they will pay out accrued vacation time upon termination or resignation, you should be paid. In the absence of that, the employer does not have to pay you the accrued vacation time.

Q: I have been off of work for nearly 3 weeks for medical reasons. My employer is now letting me go? Can they do that?

My 90 day probationary period is up on the 12th of this month. They said they would hire me back when I have a doctors release but I will have to start all over again on another 90 day probationary period,

If you are not eligible for FMLA leave, which it sounds like you are not because you've only been there less than 90 days, your employer can likely let you go if you have absences, even if you have a doctor's note. FMLA protects your job for up to 12 weeks. I'd recommend going back... View More
