You probably could take him to court, but unless you have provable damages, I don't know what good it will do. Defamation and any civil claim is different and carries a different burden of proof than a criminal case.
All talent that we represent must either be a US citizen or have the
right to work within the US. In order to work in the adult industry in
the US two forms of US issued id's are required

So i started working on February 1st as contractor for a company and on the 19th of February was my last day, only a temp job.
I was supposed to get paid by the 22nd and nothing has happened at all, so I called and they said they’ll take care of it and so far nothing is happening
You say you were hired as a contractor. If you were lawfully classified as a contractor and not an employee then your right to be paid will be determined by the agreement you entered into with the company - not the California Labor Code.
That said, many employers are still getting it wrong... Read more »
I refused a paycut but I feel they may still act on it even though I’ve refused.
Hi, more information is needed here. Has anyone made any comments to you about your race or why you were the only selected for a paycut? I would reach out to an employment law attorney in your state for a consultation.

(I was not the one working the register but I was involved in helping the card charge and attempting to fix a mistake a co-worker made)
Your employer would be permitted to reduce your wages in this situation, but it cannot reduce your pay so much that your equivalent hourly rate falls below minimum wage. For example, if you work 8 hours per day and your employer reduces your wages from $100 per day to $50 per day, your equivalent... Read more »
I have been asked to sign a form at work regarding the fact I have declined my covid vaccine and this therefore means I may not receive sick pay if I contract covid along with some other statements I need to agree to, and I don’t know what my rights are if I don’t sign it
Since there is no federal law that mandates paid sick time or any other form of paid time off, your employer may limit or condition your receipt of sick pay it does offer. Your employer's above condition on sick pay is lawful.
My company does not have policy on this. It's subjective. The ticket was against the vehicle not myself
If you parked illegally, you can be held responsible for paying for the violation. Your employer has no legal duty to pay for your fines associated with unlawful conduct. If the citation was for some kind of vehicle-related failure, such as fix-it tickets or no registration tag, then the employer... Read more »

Can I sue them?
This is America. You can always sue someone. The actual question is whether suing will get you a good result for a price that does not exceed the amount you are seeking. Proving low valuation and fake pretense can be difficult. A detailed set of facts must be reviewed.

There are several issues that would need to be addressed to properly answer this question, including how many employees the company has and how long you worked there. I would suggest contacting an employment attorney in your area to see if they offer a free consultation.
My father is being hospitalized from COVID and his prognosis is grim. It’s likely he will not be returning to work indefinitely. I need to update his address on file to my address as he no longer lives at the house he was renting. I have to go through the HR department at his work in order to... Read more »
An employer can lawfully terminate an employee who is out on leave if the leave is indefinite and there is no communication to the employer that suggests additional unpaid leave would allow the employee to return to work within a reasonably defined period of time. If he is terminated and dropped... Read more »
I worked for a pharmacy in Ky and was not paid for hours worked or reimbursed for expenses like mileage and hotel bills that were agreed to be paid by owner. I live in TN and the owner lives in TN, but the business is incorporated. What state do I file a complaint in as far as small claims court?
Kentucky is the venue of the contract and its breach, so I would file there first. If successful, it will be a foreign judgment which must be used in TN to collect. If you file in General Sessions here, defendant will claim no jurisdiction.

I have been approached by a company that is not a competitor of where I work to work for them using my skill set to work with their already established client base. Will this breach my restraint of trade.
It depends. In jurisdictions where restrictive covenants are enforceable, they are generally only enforceable where the terms are reasonable. For instance, a non-competition agreement that is reasonable as to time, geography, and activities restricted will likely be enforced. Likewise, a... Read more »
I work at a pet boarding facility, and in the state of Florida, owners are required to have their dogs up to date on their rabies vaccine. My boss told me to accept a dog that is out of date on his rabies vaccine..
I believe the requirement that owners keep their animals vaccinated would be Florida Statute 828.30. It doesn't appear to include any requirement that pet boarding facilities refuse to accept unvaccinated animals, and if there is that would be your boss's duty, not yours.

Well, if they give you a raise it looks like they are not having it both ways. Your vacation time is usually based on time accrued and does not count time off for personal days, family leave---or when you are laid off.
Year to date money means just that. If you were paid x dollars then... Read more »
