This case is being held under Maricopa County, Arizona law. Thanks!
Is it a criminal or civil case? It sounds civil. If so, she faces a monetary penalty only
I am having severe back pain and some other issues I have written out paperwork of my doctor approving this leave. The woman that I am working with as my case manager is telling me that is not good enough I am going to physical therapy twice a week for it.
FMLA and disability are two distinct things. You can qualify for FMLA leave and benefits, but not disability, and vice versa.
I submitted paper work for my severance pay and waited the 10 days to receive the paycheck. It’s been 13 days and I’ve been told by my Employee Service Center that paperwork was never submitted. I have bills to pay and need that check.
Your best bet is to re-submit the paperwork. A lawsuit will take months (and possibly years) to settle the issue.
The reason given was “lack of confidence to do my job”. I asked for supporting documents and was given none. I saved the company 500k in payroll alone by cross training in my department rather than hiring. Just before I was let go I saved the company 78k in annual paper costs by switching to... Read more »
Based on what you wrote, no. Employment is at will, they can fire you for most any reason, and they do not have to give you the reason. Now, had they fired you because you were black, white, gay, straight, male, female, or similar (as in because you were one of those, not that you are one of those)... Read more »
I have documentation of the occurrence and now I am unemployed now do to the information being released.
I do not handle employment payroll matters. Sorry.

Greetings. We are unclear as to the details of your fact pattern. We suggest you meet with an attorney who will be able to work through your story and properly determine your exposure. According to what you wrote, you say "me or my employer" is being sued. You must find out if "you" are indeed... Read more »
I was told this is due to CPS (dcbs) taking my kids years ago. My kids have since been adopted by my uncle and I'm pretty sure I never had charges pressed against me, I never hurt or neglected my kids.
It depends on the specific circumstances with regard to working with children but it should not preclude you from working in the medical field.
I gave birth onMay 20th, my 4 months leave under PDL will end on September 20th. I had some complications during delivery and today my doctor told me that I need to rest for another 2months. I know that I’m entitled for another 12 weeks leave for baby bonding time under CFRA. My question is Can I... Read more »
Your CFRA leave time is limited related to medical disabilities, but even if you exceed your designated CFRA time, the Fair Employment and Housing Act will require your employer to extend additional unpaid leave to you to address a disabling condition under most circumstances. Be sure your doctor... Read more »
Manager has edited and continues to edit punch times or adjusts schedules so that employees do not accrue points that would lead to termination. (According to company policy, x points = termination.) Manager admits to my former coworker that she has done this for other employees under certain... Read more »
You should talk with a local employee-side labor attorney. You might have a case, particularly if a pattern of misapplication of policy or the points system can be shown.
You could try contacting HR, although I would suggest waiting to do so until after you've had a chance to consult with... Read more »

It is difficult to say based on what you have here. For example, as they are both female is any of the harassment based on gender or sex or another protected class?
Is this legal?
Yes, they can fire you if you do not come in. You would not have a legal claim unless you were out due to something like jury duty, military service or FMLA.
Also a child thats in a special needs class cause he has autism
Schools typically send home a permission slip for field trips. Have you tried speaking with the school to get the details about this and find out why no notification was given or why they didn't seek permission? I would first reach out to the school to speak to them about it and ensure them that... Read more »
I had surgery but the dr said I need a knee replacement. FCE said sit down work only. How much can i expect feom a settlement and what is an acxeptable settlement. I was also let go the day after my surgery from an alleged incifent 3 weeks prior to the surgery.
It is impossible to predict a settlement amount without having all the medical records and bills to consider.
I have a serious injury (not work related) that has caused me to miss several days of work. I have had several ER visits for pain, Dr visits working on fixing the issue, and days where I simply could not move. That said, I understand missing excessive time is wrong. Where I don't agree/understand... Read more »

I'm sorry about your dismissal. This sounds like it is going to be a complex matter involving a number of issues and legal areas. You could start by contacting an employment lawyer (one from this site or one from your independent search). It looks like there are going to be additional elements... Read more »
I don't feel very good about my attorney as I feel 6 months is unacceptable amount of time to see workman's comp doctor. My attorney told me to find a job maybe I hired the wrong one
It depends what the issue is. If this is an Agreed Medical Evaluator, sometimes the wait can be 6 months. in the meantime, however, you should be able to follow up with your treating physician if your injuries are getting worse.
If the issue is a denial of the injuries, then you should be... Read more »

Unfortunately as an employee at will you don’t have any legal claim against your employer other than unemployment given these facts. Seek unemployment.
We self record are time in 15 min increments on an honor system. The rule is to keep track of your own time since the crew all have slightly different tasks and often clock out at different times. I also keep a log book of all job duties, times, appointments, etc. Last month my boss docked my check... Read more »
You can, but be prepared to be fired. It would be unlawful retaliation, but the wage theft is also unlawful. My suggestion would be to find a new job first.
Also, if you do file a complaint, focus only on the hours docked. The fact that you are a foreman and there were bad bids has nothing... Read more »
