Your current state is Virginia
it's my 1st week on the job. I believe the term means whitey or white boy and is slang. I don't know what I should do the next time she does it. I find it inappropriate. Is that a law suit? Do I walk out when she does it because I feel uncomfortable? Should I go to a laywer first or HR?
I know the term "guido" is defined in an English dictionary as "a man, especially an Italian American, regarded as vain, aggressively masculine, and socially unsophisticated." I do not know what it may mean in other languages.

You need to talk to a Worker's Compensation attorney, and ask her/him to handle your case for you. Your employer is not your friend when it comes to a worker's compensation claim, because it then goes into the hands of the worker's compensation insurance company for the employer. And... Read more »

I doubt that is the entire contract, as those contracts usually gone on for several pages, and no attorney can give you an answer without reviewing the entire contract.
This happened at a place of employment.
Yes a statute of limitations does exist both for the criminal charges and the civil charges. Speak with a lawyer if you have been assaulted you may be entitled to a large recovery for your injuries.
I submitted for 2 days off the night before my boss came back from his 2 days off so he would have it in the am. I did it 5 months in advance and took a pic of it incase he looses it cuz it's happened before. 5 months later he calls me at 530 on his day off to ask you if wasn't at work.... Read more »
Unfortunately, there is nothing unlawful about your employer denying you days off unless you can prove it is motivated by your membership in a protected class of people (i.e., race, religion, etc.) or because you engaged in some form of legally protected conduct. Taking a picture of your request... Read more »
Is it true if a company take the paycheck protection program loan under the Cares act and keep the same workforce or salary levels the company qualify for loan forgiveness? So this means my job can't fire me or they will have to pay the loan back
An employer does not have to keep the same workforce it had before it gets a PPP loan. If it fails to maintain at least 75% of the number of employees employed in the pre-COVID workforce, it will have its forgiveness reduced, but the company is not disqualified altogether unless the number of...

You could have legal consequences. It depends upon the facts of the situation and any document or agreement that you may have signed. I recommend speaking with an employment law attorney to learn your legal rights and options before making a decision.
initially the owner of the company had agreed that he would meet with me discuss money owed later he has nothing for me that agrement says I get paid when they get paid and since I'm no longer with the company I am not entitled to commissions
Under the California Labor Code, all commission agreements must be in writing. The statute of limitations for enforcing a written agreement is 4 years. The SoL for enforcing a violation of the Labor Code is 3 years. So, if you have a written agreement, you still have time, if you don't you... Read more »
theoretically be entitled to unused vacation time if I voluntarily resigned (i.e., I quit on my own volition to take another position elsewhere)?
Employee handbooks are rarely contracts. And most can be changed at any time with or without notice.
Is the employer applying its earned leave policy uniformly for all those who have been or are similarly situated to the facts surrounding your departure?
A meeting was held with our DM about respect towards each other, he told me about the rumor after on the down low, No consequences happened. He told me to not bother looking for the person who started the rumor, and he won’t tell me. Is there anything I could or should do?
If the rumors are allowed to continue, you may have a claim for sexual harassment in the workplace. However, for right now, it seems your employer has acted appropriately. It got wind of the rumor and has taken action to try to shut it down. Wait to see if anything else develops. If the rumor... Read more »
I never make more than 18 an hour even if customers tip enough for every employee to receive more than that in gratuities.
Your employer is violating California law. It would be wise for you to locate and consult with an experienced employment law attorney as soon as possible to explore your facts and determine your options. I would suggest you look either on this site, or go to www.cela.org, the home page for the... Read more »

A Florida attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for a week.

Please read 25 NCAC 01J .0611 DISCIPLINARY SUSPENSION WITHOUT PAY.
Attorney in Fayetteville routinely suspends employees (without cause) then allows them back then suspends them again and again hoping employees will quit. Either way...suspended employee or employee who quits is not able to... Read more »
I am confused by this post. Are you saying you are a state employee? 25 NCAC 01j.0611 is part of the NC State Human Resources Act which applies to state employees only. A state employee would be advised of a suspension. What does the attorney in Fayetteville have to do with that? Is the attorney... Read more »
No disciplinary actions ever. Is the txt legal and am I entitled to unemployment?
There is no specific "legal" way for an employer to terminate your employment or communicate suspensions etc. They can tell you in person, call you text you, or communicate it in any other way. In fact, that can communicate it non-verbally such as by changing the keys to the facility or... Read more »

Most people do not know this, but a furlough is the exact same thing as a termination in the eyes of the law if the furlough is for more than the length of the pay period. Your employer can state an intention to bring you back, but that is not an enforceable right. If the employer wants to bring... Read more »
The Company is in Cleveland Ohio, and requesting a complete background check. No offer made.
There are very specific privacy laws surrounding this. Talk with an employment attorney. Also, background checks are not free, so it is a good sign that they are requesting it, but I have only heard of background checks requested after a conditional offer is made and accepted. Talk to an employment... Read more »
