It is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against an employee because of that employee's disability. File a claim with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC"). If they accept your claim, they will investigate your employer's actions. Good luck.

There should be some way of clearing this but frankly there aren't.

Q: My employer had me arrested and pressed charges against me for theft by conversion in the amount of $850.00. penalty?

I was released on bond two days later but I have not yet received a court date. This is my first time ever being in legal trouble so I'm not sure what to expect. Why is it taking so long? Do I need a lawyer? Is this charge currently visible to all employers for a background check?

Contact a criminal lawyer to help you with the theft by conversion case. The criminal lawyer should also be able to advise you about whether the charge will appear on a background check. Good luck.

Possibly. It depends on the impact your medical condition will have on your job and whether you can perform the essential duties of your job while at home. Contact an employment attorney to provide more details and to get a more in depth and confidential response.

Churches can manage their own affairs. It is up to the church as it's rules dictate to decide--in some cases it's the congregation, in other's it's a bishop.There are no mandatory pension or other schemes for churches. You raise an interesting ADA question.
