Had the employer not called an ambulance it might be a wildly different situation and then you might have a cause of action against them. If it helps, imagine if you called an ambulance on behalf of someone, and they asked you to pay for it for simply making a phone call. That could serve as a... View More

It certainly can create a negative environment. Whether it's unlawful is a different question, and to a large extent depends on what your company's lease says. Regardless, it sounds like your new colleague was wise to come on over.

You should contact a Michigan employment attorney to discuss further, because these questions are highly dependent on the specific facts of your situation and the job duties you're required to perform. Your accommodation request may or may not be considered reasonable under the Americans with... View More

Not sure if it will help. If you resigned, it seems your employer acted appropriately in assuming you would not be back.

Ways to resolve: 1) speak to your employer about this concern, letting them know how long it would take you to be ready for the day. 2) Failing that, consider whether an extra 10 minutes a day is worth losing out on a job.

I think you have a legitimate concern, don't get me wrong. I... View More

Probably limited. Even if you can prove the test was wrong (you'd have to get your own independent test), there's nothing to make them hire you again. You may want to pursue an appeal to the UIA to see what they say.

Best thing to do would be to call your local legal aid office and let them tell you whether it's something they would accept.

Generally, legal aid offices do not take "fee generating" cases. Think cases that lawyers would typically take on a contingency fee basis; yours is... View More

Unlikely. By you working for three months at your current pay rate, you've accepted that.

You need to find an unemployment attorney. Not sure if you have much of an argument if the temp agency wanted you to come in to see what jobs are available, and you told them no.

Working there? I don't think so. Probably not in the gun section. You should look into, at the very least, restoring your gun rights, though.

This will likely depend on the length of the delay in receiving the payment. Generally, employers can change their payroll schedule without notice (ex. changing pay date from Mondays to Fridays), but there may be payment deadlines imposed by Michigan state law that your employer cannot exceed.

Really hard to say given the limited facts.

Generally, absent a contract or a union agreement, employment in Michigan is "at will". There is limited protection against firing, but retaliation may be a legitimate issue to address. Your problem, though, may be that by your account,... View More

What are you wanting to happen? If that is Royal Caribbean's policy, and they won't hire you back, there is nothing a court can do about that. You have no right to work for a particular company.

Possibly. Sounds like the makings of a lawsuit for which you should seek an employee-side civil litigator.

Possibly. Depends in part on any employment agreement you had. Also depends on whether your customer was an actual customer of your former employer at the time.

Have you talked to him about him getting his stuff out of your garage, and you get your cars out of his yard, and both of you just go your separate ways?

I don't believe there is anything suspect about this procedure, more information could tip the scales. The EEOC has published guidance on this and on mandatory vaccinations.

I would be curious to hear what an infectious disease physician would say. But from my perspective, on the... View More

This depends on the employer's reasoning for not hiring the individual. If, after passing all required tests, the employer still believes the employee isn't able to perform the job due to his or her weight, then the individual should reach out to a Michigan employment attorney to discuss...

Everything you write seems plausible. I don't think there is a way it has to be done. If the employment agreement was for him to receive $11,000 on condition that he stays at least a year, then I think the company has a right to demand at least some of it back. I suppose you could argue that... View More

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,... View More
