If you worked for a non-governmental employer, your employer was legally required to pay all earned wages on the day you were terminated. Because this company is not based in California it likely is not aware of the very protective laws for employees here. Nonetheless, if you can prove that the... Read more »
Available for 6 months. They have given other persons a much better severance package and they were of a different race and they had performance improvement plans. They want to give me one month salary and a Cobra pkg.
answered on Jan 25, 2023
If you believe that you are being discriminated against on the basis of race, and treated differently from other employees in regard to severance payments, then you need to consult a licensed discrimination lawyer in the District of Columbia as soon as possible. Most attorneys are providing... Read more »

answered on Jan 24, 2023
Whether your niece can take legal action on the issue of separating from the school depends on what she means by "they asked her to resign." Does it mean that they basically asked if she'd be WILLING to resign, with her having the option of saying, "No, I want to return to work... Read more »

I was terminated on 1/18/23 for no real reason and was given a check and then said my other half of my pay would be deposited and I’m yet to see any of my money. And the check is on hold? Is this legal?
answered on Jan 22, 2023
It is not legal for a private (non-governmental) employer to not pay all wages due on the day of termination. A willful failure to do so gives the employee the right to seek Waiting Time Penalties equal to one day of pay for each day the employee is made to wait for the entire final check, up to a...

The answer to this question will depend in part on how you're paid. If you are paid by the hour, then you generally must be paid for all time worked, including at an overtime rate of 1.5x your normal rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. However, if you are paid on a salary basis, then your... Read more »

Is your husband a member of a labor union? If not, he is likely an at will employee. A at will employee can be terminated for good reason, bad reason or no reason at all.

Use the Justia Find a Lawyer tab and search for employment and/or labor law attorneys in your area---call a few for a consultation and then proceed accordingly. Some of the lawyers will charge you for a consult and others may not so I would find that out when you first contact them. Good luck.
The company is based in PA but all employees are remote, all over the US. I have been employed in California and was recently given a severance agreement that includes this clause:

There is nothing inherently unlawful about the clause you cited. However, attorneys are taught that a contract provision is interpreted in the context of the entire agreement, so no one here can definitively say one way or the other without being able to review the entire document.

It is difficult to understand your question, but if you have been discriminated against in some way you may have a claim. I would need to learn more.
I worked remotely and did not inform my manager. This has never been a part of policy or an issue for the 5 years working for this company -- There is still no officially stated policy for doing so.

This may be a breach of contract. I need to read your contract. Also, I am finding that employers are violating certain laws based on mandated pay polices. I am working on an issue like this now.
Health issues with swelling. Some of the swelling was in my gut. Let me add this I am a female and work with all men for these 16 years.

You should contact an Oklahoma employment attorney to discuss your situation in more detail. While more information is needed here, you should reach out regarding claims for disability discrimination and/or sex discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
So how come my co workers get their 8 hours double pay and not me isn’t that discrimination because I don’t think thats right that a company gets to choose who they pay double pay and who doesn’t?
answered on Jan 9, 2023
Ask payroll about this.
Unlawful discrimination occurs when you are treated differently because you are a member of a protected class of people. Your post does not suggest unlawful discrimination.
This sounds like a mistake.
Good luck to you.
So I worked for a company that I recently notice that in my pay stubs I only get 2 or 3 of double pay for a holiday that work for 8 hours that day so can a company do that?
answered on Jan 9, 2023
No. Your employer owes you the full day of pay at the double time rate you worked.
