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

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... View 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... View 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... View More

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... View More

How? And?

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.

You can appeal. Seek counsel of an attorney familiar with the unemployment administrative hearing system.

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.

Michigan defaults to the FLSA, and the section 3(m) changes promulgated in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018 (CAA). This regulation was finalized fairly recently, while I can't know exactly what you're... View 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.
