If your employer is located within the State of Illinois, he is required to pay you the proportion of your vacation which you've earned when you leave the job. For example, if your employer provided two weeks of vacation per year and you worked half the year before leaving, he must pay you for... Read more »
Good evening,
I have an ongoing concern at my current workplace that does not seem to be changing. And I am seeking legal advice.
I have written a statement to a current employer about harassment, unprofessional discriminatory comments, and unsafe distribution activities with heavy... Read more »
First of all, I would like to tell you that I'm sorry that you are having to go through these things at your workplace.
As for the harassment and the discriminatory comments, largely, these will be lumped together as to how they are treated in the legal context. To constitute either,... Read more »
when I took the job 3 1/2 years ago. It’s a huge world wide organization and there are other employees still working in office just not my department. Can they require me to take the hit financially by trying to wire in internet along with paying for a desk and chair, etc? A part of me feel that... Read more »
Yes. As long as they make reasonable accommodation for you to work from home.

We had this agreement for years, no problems what so ever.wheni went to California I took $5000 out of my savings so knew that I had money in my... Read more »
If you have written documentation, including wage stubs showing that you earned the money and the employer put part of your pay in a "savings account" for you, then likely have claims for fraud, breach of contract, conversion and unfair business practices. Unfair business practices... Read more »

This is an employment issue in regards to working for The State of Alabama (twenty-three years) age/gender discrimination for wrongful termination. Based on pretext, the state... Read more »
It's unclear what you are asking. If you have a right-to-sue letter from the EEOC, you need to ensure you file a lawsuit within 90 days of your receipt of the letter if you are intending to do so. You should contact an employment law attorney in your area as soon as possible to discuss your... Read more »
Probably.

When I went to count it got downgraded to mismenandor two counts(one for Petit Larceny and Criminal Possession of stolen property). I was offered a restitution to dismissal at the Arrangement and the... Read more »
Depends on who made the criminal complaint, and whether it was false and done with malice. Any lawyer you consult will need far more facts that you have provided.
My employer didn’t ask my vaccination status but specifically if I was an anti-Vaxxer because I am not yet vaccinated for personal reasons.
They can inquire about your beliefs as to vaccination. They can inquire about vaccination status, assuming vaccination is part of the job requirements.
They are requiring unvaccinated employees to use vacation / PTO & paying vaccinated employees without having to use their PTO / Vacation time. Keep in mind that the quarantine rules are the same regardless of vaccination status, 5 days for exposure and 10 days for a positive Covid test.
Wage and hour laws only require your employer to pay you for time that you are working. Since employers are not required to offer pay for non-work hours, the above policy, while unfair, is permissible.
You should consult with an employment attorney in your area to discuss your situation. The FMLA prohibits your employer from interfering with your rights under the FMLA (such as job restoration after a qualifying leave) or from retaliating against you after you return from FMLA leave. The... Read more »
My salary contract does not state I am required to have a cdl permit
My answer is going to assume you are an employee and not an independent contractor.
Your employer is acting unlawfully by withholding any earned pay for any reason at all. You are to be paid for the time you worked. However there is nothing unlawful about the employer refusing to allow... Read more »
I talked to my mon she agrees and a customer even said I was here a while
Thanks and you could have a potential minimum wage violation, depending on the particular situation you are in. You should speak to an attorney or the Department of Labor

Despite sending several emails making a plea to my director, manager and HR to the fact that I will be without a home if I... Read more »
As far as I know, job abandonment is a valid reason for termination and denial of employment benefits in Florida and most other states. But to be sure you need to ask a lawyer in Illinois whether that is the law in Illinois.
So I work for A restaurant group that owns multiple stores but are all owned under one name. I recently worked at a store I normally don't work at to help out, and then finished out my week at my normal location. When I received my paycheck for that 1 week, I received a paycheck from the 1... Read more »
Interesting question that I think you would need to contact a labor attorney about. You may also want to reach out to the state's wage and labor board. I can see why you'd inquire. I think some of it comes down to how this restaurant group and corporate structure is actually arranged.
I did not give consent for them to audio record me and it isn’t posted at the workplace anywhere. Do I have grounds for suing ?
No.
I have requested to either work at home or get a shift a change from my current job due to child care conflict and they claim there is nothing they can do for my shift change but they have done it for other employees.
The initial inquiry here is whether you believe you are being discriminated against (that is, being treated differently than others) based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy, parental status, age, or disability. Is there a difference between you and the... Read more »
I was fired from job when the police came to my home to arrest me for an alleged crime. I am an apartment manager and so I will be out of a job and a place to live, and I was wondering if this is legal for my landlord to do before I'm even convicted yet?
Yes, it is lawful for an employer to terminate an employee who has been arrested when the arrest has not yet lead to a disposition. Whether or not you are eventually convicted or not is not material to the analysis.
Good luck to you.
My 2 questions are 1) am I owed a days wages for every day after the 28th my check is late, because I read online if you give over 72 hours notice they have to have your check ready on your last day and will be penalized if it's not, and 2) do I have to sign anything prior to receiving my...

If you worked for a California non-government employer, and if you can prove the withholding of your final paycheck was willful, then you are entitled to get not only your final pay, but also Waiting Time Penalties equal to one day of pay for each day you are made to wait for your final paycheck,...

Hello I have a question. I live in the state of Florida. I was offered a position for a new job, my background cleared and is at 100% completion with no discrepancies. I was called by the company stating I answered no to their question for vaccine. I told her that is correct and also informed I... Read more »
Assuming that you never got the job you applied for. the answer is no, you have no case. Why?
Because Florida is an “at-will” state, which means private employers are free to hire, promote, demote, suspend, terminate, reinstate, and rehire employees for any reason—or for no... Read more »
So i’m applying for a tech company. I have a assault 4th degree misdemeanor convicted 7 years ago. The state of the company follows the “ban the box” rule (they are not allowed to ask about criminal record until initial interview/conditional offer has been made). I’m currently at the last...

Right before the background check. You also might want to think about expunging that misdemeanor from your record so this is not an issue in the future.
