That's not enough information to respond. I've negotiated severance packages in the hundreds of thousands, but you don't provide information to formulate any idea.
An upper level employee of mine lied, they have been employed for 10 years and are now attacking us maliciously, absolutely breaking an NDA, confidentiality agreement, non-solicit, etc. I just found out that they must've gone into our office where we store our documents, and that the last page...

Would we need to file a foreign LLC in any state that we conduct business. We are hiring them as independent contractors. Also would we need to have worker's compensation?

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Assuming you are not a member of a Union, you are likely an at will employee. As such, you are provided very few rights under Alabama law.

He worked all day Tuesday 1/11/23. They did not contact him until 3 hours after he got home saying he was under investigation. The only thing they tell us is that someone reported it. There are no cameras and they didn't even bother to stop him at work to verify that day. He did no such thing.... Read more »

There is no specific statute for general retaliation. The protection is offered based on what you report. Protection is primarily offered based on reporting illegal discrimination or filing a worker's comp claim. It wouldn't be offered for reporting someone came in late or took too long... Read more »

There are certain professions and... Read more »

An Alabama attorney could probably advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. In terms of your question on a class of plaintiffs, it could depend on the size of the pool of retirees. One option is to reach out to an employment attorney. Good luck
It was a traffic accident and have a criminal attorney but he’s in court and the employer is asking for my accident report. Do I have to submit the report and can they terminate me over it?
