I cannot address whether Poland will issue you a work permit, but as far as the IRS goes, it will not prohibit you from living and working in Poland. You should be aware, however, that for as long as you live outside the United States, the statute of limitations on collecting your tax debt stops... View More

You need to show up to drill, even with medical reasons. If you are not fit to perform your drills, the military medical folks will place you in a not physically qualified status. Not showing up will get you involuntarily separated with a less than Honorable discharge.

In both state and federal courts, the rule is that an appeal is based on the trial record (evidence, jury instructions, legal decisions, etc.) and new facts cannot be introduced at the appellate level unless it was impossible to have presented them before the lower court.

Non-compete clauses are common in independent contractor agreements. Otherwise you could work for them and take their client list and then go out on your own. So, there is a high probability it would be enforceable, at least in part. Most states though will limit them to reasonable restrictions,... View More

You should consult with a local attorney. Different treatment among employees who commit the same or similar infractions can suggest that there is an illegitimate basis for the more harsh treatment one is receiving compared to the other. Sometimes, however, there are legitimate business reasons... View More

As a general proposition an employer could fire one person and not fire the other for the same offense. That said, it appears you may have more going on, in which the firing could be related to retaliation and/or be related to race. As such, find a local employment law attorney who offers free...

Well, if there is no money in the account, how are you supposed to get paid? If they wrote a check it would bounce, right? And that would get them into more trouble, most likely.
