I work for a Humanitarin a non profit, who deducts PTO when using California Sick. Is this allowed? My understanding of this law is that PTO and Sick are supposed to have separate “banks” and sick hours are completely separate and guaranteed hours.

If you have sick leave accumulated, the employer should only be deducting from your sick leave if you are out sick. If you have no sick leave accumulated or run out, then you can draw on your accumulated PTO. Your employer can not require you to use PTO for sick, when you have accumulated sick... View More

I saw an article how Texas overruled the law, is that only on Texas or all over the U.S.? My husband is a Salary employee making less than $58k a year. He works over 40 hours a lot and last year they only paid him 1/2 time (so $11 an hour) whenever he went over 40 hours.
It ended abruptly. Ever since, he's been treating me poorly, jerking me around, and I think he's trying to get me to quit. I would like to push back because my quality of life is suffering and I'm not going to be forced out of the company.
Unfortunately I do not have all the... View More

If they comply with the Covenants Not to Compete Act, yes.
This is a fairly specialized area of practice which our firm handles often. I personally have represented both sides--those trying to enforce a non-compete, and those trying to prevent enforcement. Even if you were to read the... View More
