I’m an employee for Wingstop , I was terminated with no explanation. I reached out for weeks and was never formally told or terminated formally I was just taken off schedule . I never was paid for my PTO as I’ve been there for a year, when asked about it I was told I wouldn’t be receiving it... Read more »
It sounds to me like you need to have a specific, confidential consultation.
Employers have no obligation to give formal notice of termination. They can simply take you off the schedule. However, if you have accrued vacation pay in the bank, it must be paid out at that time. Accrued... Read more »
I’m an interior designer in the hospitality industry and my employer asked me to return to work everyday during the pandemic even though non-essential offices are not allowed to reopen back. I asked my employer to lay me off because I feel anxiety coming to work everyday since I live with my... Read more »
Not returning to work when you are asked to do so will likely disqualify you from benefits. Nonetheless, apply and see what happens. It will cost you nothing to do so.
Good luck to you.
Hello, I'm not sure if I need a lawyer. I'm the victim in a sexual assault case. I've already reported to the police & have a detective assigned to my case. I've also been connected to a victim advocate. I'm trying to make the most informed decisions possible regarding... Read more »
If you aren't interested in pursuing a civil case, there is no need to consult with an attorney. You aren't a party to the criminal case. It is prosecuted on behalf of the State of California, not you.
I got laid off Dec 2019, got rehired 2 weeks ago, I asked for $14 an hour. My manager said they couldnt pay me that. I had a friend apply and she got hired and will be paid $14 an hour. I will be training her and yet getting paid less then her. Is it okay for employers to do that?
The answer is that it depends. If you feel you are being discriminated against, because of age, sex, nationality, race, or for any number of different reasons, it could be improper. You would have to provide a lot more detail than you have to make any real determination. If you think you might be... Read more »
In which California County are you located? I assume this is a criminal elder abuse matter? Please provide more information
I have been living there for just over two months. I am active duty military and I just got back from a deployment. I was recently informed that they want me to move out so they can turn my room into an office space because they are no longer occupying the office space they are renting in another... Read more »
Very sorry to hear that an active duty US military is being treated this way. Of course you have the absolute right to enforce your rental agreement and tell them you are not moving out until it is up. IMO you don't need to subject yourself to this stress. What I would do is negotiate with... Read more »
reported again?
Impossible to say. Why you lied is important. The nature of the lie is important. The damage you have done to your credibility is important.
I am an engineer living in California and working remotely for a company in Texas. I got laid off and I wonder if my non-compete clause included in the signed CNDA can be enforced. The non-compete is for 1 year and the CNDA mentions the State of Texas as the governing law.
I have asked for... Read more »
It would be unwise for an attorney to opine about a contract without being able to see the entire contract and understanding the circumstances regarding its making. However a few general things can be said preliminary to that.
First, generally non-compete provisions are unenforceable in... Read more »
When I took her to the vet they informed me her calcium was at a 3 and the normal is 7. She had a fever of 106.9 because the puppies took all her calcium during the labor; and I have to pay over $2000. I told my neighbor multiple times to watch his dog and he would let it out on purpose because he... Read more »
Maybe. However, it's unclear how a dog would enter your house. The story doesn't sound right. Also, have you sold the puppies? Did you get more than $2000? If so, you haven't really been damaged. In any event, if you have a claim, it would be a Small Claims matter and you... Read more »
MORE INFO NEEDED.
NOT SURE HOW YOU WOULD LEARN THAT AND EVEN IF YOU DID IT WOULD NOT MEAN ANOTHER JUDGE WOULD HAVE TO FOLLOW THAT VERDICT.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A CRIMINAL LAWYER IN YOUR AREA OR ASK THE COURT TO APPOINT A PUBLIC DEFENDER.
I came on B2 VISA and have heard the processing time is very long (several months!) for Chinese nationals.
If you leave the U.S. within the time requested in your I539 (so long as it is no more than 180 days) and before you have received a decision on your request, then you have not accumulated unlawful presence.
at the back of the property. There was a full gate across the back allowing egress from the parking area of the building at my property's back. I was told that there was an informal agreement.There were 3 pictures on Zillow, showing the open gate to the other property's driveway. The ad... Read more »
If you can still access your garage from the front then all you are suffering is just a loss of convenience and time. The egress is not part of your property description. It is to be seen if there was an easement, highly doubtful as it may be. The realtor is offering his commission of $20,000.00... Read more »
For a 2 year statute of limitation that was due to expire on May 30, 2020 what would the new statute of limitation be with the Emergency Rule tolling in California?
No one has tested this yet, so it is not clear and no opinions you get here should be relied upon to delay your filing of your claims in Court. The tolling (suspending) of the SOL due to CV 19 basically suspends the SOL for the months of the tolling period, which are set forth in the Order. So... Read more »
We signed lease papers and paid first month rent and deposit . Were given a receipt along with keys to the property and the next morning got a call saying they were gonna give it to someone else Is that legal?
No. After the lease is signed by all parties, you have an enforceable contract to rent the property. BUT, do you really want to start out a relationship with a screwy LL like this? I would not want anything to do with them. You may be entitled to recover damages from them if you have increased... Read more »
The envelope had her address but my name on it. I live in a different city and county then she does.was I leagaly .served. I have never seen or touched this document.
Substituted service is allowed when the process server cannot find the person at home but there is someone there over 18, then they mail it to the address. But you said this was at a different residence, city and county. The problem is that if you ignore it, you could end up with a default... Read more »

Request your LL refund your deposit, and give him notice you are moving out, immediately. Move out and plan to go to Small Claims Court. Next time, get a written rental agreement, dated and signed so you have proof of what the agreement was. Renting a room on a handshake and a kiss is not... Read more »
We have been waiting from past few months for payments from vendor, they are asking ask for settlement but we are decided to file a petition in court? What steps need to be taken and how long will my petition will take?
It depends on how much is involved in this dispute.
If the amount in controversy is $10,000 or less you can proceed through small claims court and probably get a judgment in a matter of months, once the courts open back up.
If the amount is greater than $10.000 then you will have... Read more »
Saying should I go to trial and try to prove that there was not that amount in the bag or plea
First, you should not be posting facts about your case. LEO's (Law Enforcement Officers) and even DA's (District Attorney's or their staff) make it a practice to check attorney directory messages boards for messages like yours. Your statement's could be construed as admissions... Read more »
