I was fired from my job because I pointed out due to a FMLA mixup that matrix tried to correct and whirlpool denied. They also refused to pay me my earned PTO time that I have left upon being fired because they said I did not request that I have it paid out. However, I was never told I had to... Read more »
Hi, the FMLA is a complex area of law and more facts are needed to fully evaluate your situation. Please reach out to an employment law attorney in Ohio.
A company has different departments. Some department has incentives and some department doesn't. The incentive basically works on how much time you save. So for example: You complete a 60 minute assignment in 30 minutes. So any time you save is added to your weekly check.

I think you need to call some employment lawyers. We would need to inquire much more about the facts which are actually motivating the changes to pay practices.
It has been 7 days tomorrow since "payday." My boss says "he doesnt know when we will get paid."
If you don't think they have the money, and that is what it sounds like, start looking for another job. Then contact BOLI as they have a special fund to pay you.
If you think they have the money, then best contact an employment law attorney to discuss your options.
And intimidated by my coworker, our boss, our bosses boss who is also my coworkers mom. I filed an official grievance per comp policy over this. I have now been moved into a corner desk, restricted from speaking with coworkers, threatened with firing, and now they made a revision to our employee... Read more »
I would not sign the new handbook it you already believe that you will be fired. You did not mention how many employees the employer employs. I am assuming since you filed with the EEOC that it is at least 25. You really need to consult with and retain an employment law attorney. Most JUSTIA... Read more »
I get paid per call if I dont resive any calls I dont get paid is there any laws against that ?
There is nothing unlawful about not paying you to be on call but if you get a call you must be paid for the time you spend on that call. Also, if you already are working an 8 hour workday, any time spent on these calls after hours should be compensated as overtime.
Good luck to you.
I was on the last stage of disciplinary action, my wife had an out patient procedure and the next morning she started hemorrhaging badly. I called my supervisor and told him that I have a family emergency and I would need a to be out with his permission given the position that I was . He said OK... Read more »
Possibly- it depends on all the facts and circumstances, but the employer's action could be a violation of FMLA or the MD Sick/Safe Leave law. Employees faced with an unforeseeable medical emergency generally only have to give notice as soon as is practicable under the circumstances. But again-... Read more »
I was fired on Jan,16 2020 for not being a good fit for the company even though I got along with everyone I worked with. I had been working for them since May 2019 with no issues at all no complaints. I was even sent a text and an email from my bosses on the 16th stating I was scheduled to work and... Read more »
Google "Employment At Will" and you can become educated on how employment is in most of the United States.
Sorry but no. There is no state or federal law that even requires a written schedule ever. I realize not knowing your approaching schedule is extremely inconvenient. If you cannot work in that kind of place, it is time to use your at will right to go elsewhere. Good luck to you.
Since termination paperwork is not required and I’ve been told I’m fired but must work another month, if I leave my job now and not work that month is it considered that I quit or fired.
Quit in a general sense. Hard to say if you be eligible for unemployment benefits.
My wife works in the Accounting department and was two months into her position before her termination. During this time she was trained by her Supervisor while logged into the system under my wife's credentials. The company received a check for deposit and was processed and approved by my wife's...

Unfortunately, there is no liability here. While your wife's termination is unfair, you live in an at-will employment state, meaning both the employee and the employer may terminate the employment relationship at any time for any reason or no reason at all (as long as the reason isn't...

Hi. Every week I take a photo of my work schedule that’s posted each Sunday. This past Sunday, according to my schedule I was supposed to come in on Wednesday. When I arrived today (Wednesday), my boss told me he had changed the schedule and that I was actually supposed to come in on Tuesday... Read more »
Unfortunately, there is no violation here. While this situation is unfair to you, you live in an at-will employment state, meaning you or your employer may terminate the employment relationship for any reason or for no reason at all (as long as the reason is not discriminatory).

This sounds like it could be gender discrimination to me. You should contact an employment law attorney as soon as possible to discuss the situation in more detail. Some will offer a free initial consultation.

More facts are needed to fully evaluate your situation. However, in certain circumstances, deductions from an employee's salary are permissible if the employee is absent from work for one full day or more full days. It would not be permissible to deduct if an employee is only absent for a half day,... Read more »

I was told verbally that I was to be terminated and this was confirmed by email from HR. Further HR email says their understanding is they won’t supply termination paperwork until I’ve worked another month and a half. I’m fairly certain this is because they haven’t hired anyone to replace... Read more »
Other than COBRA and benefits related documents, they do not have to provide you any sort of termination paperwork, assuming this is a private, non-union job. And any paperwork they would be required to do, such as COBRA, is at the time of your last day or later.
I worked most of my life and did pay into disability benefits. I was not employed at the time of my injury and was granted ssi. Can I put in an appeal to get ssdi benefits?
MORE INFO NEEDED.
YOU NEED TO ASK THIS QUESTION ON AN EMPLOYMENT LAW FORUM.....I ONLY HANDLE DUI AND PI
It depends on what you are interpreting. Such an open-ended question cannot be answered in a vacuum. Sorry.
Good luck to you.
This is not a standard policy for all employees in this company
Unfortunately, there is nothing the legally prohibits an employer from requiring a doctor's note for missed absences due to illness.
I feel that I was misclassified as an independent contractor in the first place but I know things get blurry in the realm of real estate: does this change anything? I also believe that I was terminated on grounds that were discriminatory and retaliatory but I am unfamiliar with my rights since I... Read more »
You're asking the right questions. The problem is that you need to schedule an appointment with a lawyer well-versed in employment law who can develop the information necessary to answer them by speaking with you. No one can provide you useful advice on the scant information provided.

After telling supervisor about all the things other rep said, was still told to work with that person. The one who said it was mad that something was stated to the boss about said stuff. Had 3 days of that person saying sexual comments. Now hard to work with this person.
You should review your employer's handbook or policy regarding reporting incidents of sexual harassment and ensure that you are following that policy. You should also report the sexual comments, in writing, to the Human Resources department. Be sure to report all future incidents in writing as... Read more »
