My employer has told me that she doesn't want me to be a reference for an employee that is currently working out their two week notice. Is that something she can legally request?
My coworkers have been paid. I am the only one that hasn't. It's the first paycheck and it's supposed to be coming in the mail. I have reached out to the management and have been made to wait.
My company is less than 50 people.
I'm a subcontractor and a client is claiming that they are deducting from my paycheck hundreds of dollars to cover the costs of "payroll, workers comp, checks, envelope, stamps". Is this even legal?
Month, she then told me I would not be a good fit around here and then she ended the call.
This is religious discrimination right?

Unlikely. From your question, it sounds like you were still in the interview stage. You offered - they didn't ask - a reason why you couldn't work the hours they wanted you to work. Their reason for not hiring you may be entirely due to your unavailability for the hours they need you,... Read more »

It's probably not entirely helpful to send you to read a statute, but there is a pretty helpful website from the State of Michigan that discusses the boundaries of the Youth Employment Standards Act (YESA). It doesn't appear as though a minor 16 years or older requires a parent's... Read more »
She told our Manager and asked her not to tell us because the employee said she’d tell us. When she told me over the phone, after working together for the whole week, it was 8 days notice. I feel since our employee handbook states 2 weeks required to get paid out PTO, I’m being just. She’s... Read more »

You may be justified in your stance, but is it worth it to the company to defend against a court action.
Here's a thought: how about deducting the daily value of the PTO for each day short of 2 weeks notice and see if she'll agree with that?
You really should make this... Read more »
I recently found out that an employee who works in a health center (located within a high school) currently has a student living in their home. There is not blood relation to the student and no legal documentation indicating the employee has guardianship or can care for the student. The student is... Read more »

My first question is what does this have to do with you? If you are not the employee in question, or that person's employer, or this now adult, I'm not seeing a question. It's possible the employee has (had) a power of attorney signed by the student's parents. Of course now that... Read more »
To be more specific what taxes? how and when are they taken out? do I do them for employee? and for such a simple job will I need to give the employee any benefits? get insurance(s)? anything?
What else should I know? Anything and everything helps. Thank You!

Note that I'm not a Michigan lawyer, and I can't tell you about specific Michigan requirements, such as whether you need to buy workers' compensation insurance or pay into the unemployment compensation program if you have just one employee. (My guess is that the answer to both is... Read more »

What is your question? Were you notified about that money and agreed as a condition to start employment?

I assume you filed a complaint? Not much you can do except wait.

Yes. Your doctor may be able or willing to offer a contrary opinion. Then the issue becomes which doctor is right.
When It wasn't how do I go about this ?

You can appeal. Seek counsel of an attorney familiar with the unemployment administrative hearing system.
It was proven the documentation was false because I held a meeting to see what was in my personal file and it was proven that she lied about the the amount of documentation she said she had.
answered on Mar 11, 2022
How can you prove the documentation is false? Even if you can show a material fact is wrong, there is probably still policy provisions that your supervisor's opinion matters.

That is a tough answer to pin-point without a more exact question.

I signed up for direct deposit when I first started but it didn't work. Now I no longer have access to their online HR system so I cannot sign up for their paycard, either. They don't issue paper checks and don't accept paper forms or phone calls regarding payroll issues. What can I... Read more »

Let them know the situation, and ask for a paper check. If that fails it is conceivable you could file with wage and hour division in Michigan.
My hours have been cut since I don't respond to their advances. There is no HR Dept. I'm unsure what to do about it..besides job hunting. Who can help me?

You're in a tough spot. Is there a state-level office you could contact? You might want to start there.
I reported harassment by a colleague last fall. Colleague received a scolding. We continue working in same building with little to no contact. Now my supervisor is requiring a sit down meeting with said colleague.
answered on Feb 15, 2022
I would think about this pragmatically. If you refuse, will you lose your job? Maybe. Would that be lawful? Maybe not. It might depend on the type of harassment and degree. It might depend on your employer's role in the matter.
You'll need to call a few attorneys and discuss the... Read more »

Doubtful. No one "made" your fiance get the vaccine. She got as a condition to secure a job, and could have refused the vaccine and the job offer.
The bigger issue is whether it's actionable that she was told she was being hired, and then found out otherwise. That may be... Read more »
