She had a caretaker/security person living on the property and was aware of the tools being on the property. I do have a copy of the police report in my possession.

Other than the thief, the tools may be covered by the tool owner’s insurance policy. It is not uncommon for individuals who use tools in their occupation to insure those tools against theft.

I'm unsure of the exact question you're asking, but hopefully this information will help you: Under federal law, hourly-paid employees must be paid overtime, at a rate of 1.5 times their regular hourly rate, for all hours worked over 40 in a seven-day workweek. Entitlement to overtime pay... Read more »

Employees are either “at will” or they have a contract. At will employees can quit when they want and the company can fire or layoff an employee when it wants, so long as the termination isn’t due to discrimination, retaliation or another illegal reason. It sounds like you are an employee... Read more »

The general rule for travel time pay is that you must be paid for travel during your work day (ex. from work location 1 to work location 2) but not for travel to your first site for the day or travel home after your last site of the day. If travel to the out-of-town location you mentioned is the... Read more »
And that also goes with if the employee doesn't turn in their uniform the employer withholds their check or just charges them for the shirts for example so they can get there check. And I've known this company to withhold checks because paperwork hasn't been turned in.

Employers may take deductions from your paychecks for these things, but the deduction cannot be so much that it brings your average hourly rate of pay below your state's minimum wage.
Files last year due to covid and most of income from partner. Got job offer and they’re doing background check. Only negative thing would be the bankruptcy. Can they take back offer due to that?

Unfortunately, employers are not required to provide a reason for termination in at-will employment states. However, if your friend suspects she was fired because she had COVID or for a discriminatory reason (i.e. based on race, sex, age, disability, or religion), then she should consult a Nevada...

The cook gets paid higher than me, and he takes my tips and splits with them including himself. I only receive a quarter of my tips by the end.

Federal law prohibits an employer from using your tips to pay managers or non-tipped employees such as cooks. You probably have a good claim under federal law if your restaurant is covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Most restaurants are covered by the FLSA. Your restaurant is... Read more »

Sometimes these contracts have a clause that determines the state in which an action may be brought for a breach. I would review your contract and see which state you would need to bring action in, then start reaching out to employment law attorneys in that state for a consultation and to discuss... Read more »

Bastards.
Twitter might be a good medium for that. If the post were to a public health agency, the employer would be violating Section 1102.5 of the California Labor Code which prohibits terminations for complaints to government agencies.

Employee does not want to endorse back of check to have family member deposit/cash for them. They want their paycheck made payable directly to their relative who does not work for the company. Employee is not an independent contractor.
