Diseases that make it difficult to stand,walk, and bend and is a cashier?
answered on Feb 14, 2023
You should contact a Michigan employment attorney to discuss further, because these questions are highly dependent on the specific facts of your situation and the job duties you're required to perform. Your accommodation request may or may not be considered reasonable under the Americans with... Read more »
I had resigned from my job and was trying to go back all week was told Thursday that I couldn't and then Friday got a call but I have to have a letter from my doctor saying I am being treated for anxiety.
answered on Feb 11, 2023
Not sure if it will help. If you resigned, it seems your employer acted appropriately in assuming you would not be back.
answered on Jan 10, 2023
Ways to resolve: 1) speak to your employer about this concern, letting them know how long it would take you to be ready for the day. 2) Failing that, consider whether an extra 10 minutes a day is worth losing out on a job.
I think you have a legitimate concern, don't get me wrong. I... Read more »
What are my options
answered on Jan 3, 2023
Probably limited. Even if you can prove the test was wrong (you'd have to get your own independent test), there's nothing to make them hire you again. You may want to pursue an appeal to the UIA to see what they say.
I used to work for the City of Detroit, I had two emergency surgeries in May 2020, one to amputate my left foot and another surgery the next day to amputate my left leg below the knee due to contracting a flesh-eating bacteria that was progressing rapidly and was life threatening.
I was... Read more »

Best thing to do would be to call your local legal aid office and let them tell you whether it's something they would accept.
Generally, legal aid offices do not take "fee generating" cases. Think cases that lawyers would typically take on a contingency fee basis; yours is... Read more »
Am I entitled to ask for the pay rate that was over the phone but is not my current pay rate.
answered on Oct 13, 2022
Unlikely. By you working for three months at your current pay rate, you've accepted that.
I was a temp in 2020 and I lost my job due to a COVID related hiring freeze. My Temp agency called wanting me to come in and see what other jobs were available. I told them I would be applying outside of a temp agency. I soon ended up on unemployment. Now In 2022 unemployment wants their money back... Read more »

You need to find an unemployment attorney. Not sure if you have much of an argument if the temp agency wanted you to come in to see what jobs are available, and you told them no.
I am in Michigan and was convicted of a felony in 1998. Great bodily harm less than murder. I know that it is up to the individual companies, but wondering if there is any law, state or federal , that would prevent me from working there.
answered on Sep 28, 2022
Working there? I don't think so. Probably not in the gun section. You should look into, at the very least, restoring your gun rights, though.
normally i work thursday-sunday and get paid that monday. this past friday we found out (literally overheard the managers) that payroll was going to be messed up and we weren’t getting paid monday. my managers/HR/owner has not said ANYTHING about how or when we will be paid. other than “if you...

answered on Sep 28, 2022
This will likely depend on the length of the delay in receiving the payment. Generally, employers can change their payroll schedule without notice (ex. changing pay date from Mondays to Fridays), but there may be payment deadlines imposed by Michigan state law that your employer cannot exceed.
For the 4 years I have worked at Menards Inc. I have not had any performance or attendance issues. I am a 1st assistant and this past Sunday I wrote up a fellow manager under me for poor job performance. He was irritated. The Saturday before we were playing around and he joked with me about...

Really hard to say given the limited facts.
Generally, absent a contract or a union agreement, employment in Michigan is "at will". There is limited protection against firing, but retaliation may be a legitimate issue to address. Your problem, though, may be that by your account,... Read more »
The rule on a royal Caribbean ship is that if you leave without fulfilling a two week notice you are not allowed to be rehired. I had put a two week notice in to go home to take care of some personal stuff. During that two weeks. Covid was spreading rapidly, I had a feeling that I was going to be... Read more »
answered on Sep 18, 2022
What are you wanting to happen? If that is Royal Caribbean's policy, and they won't hire you back, there is nothing a court can do about that. You have no right to work for a particular company.
Volitle, mentally and emotionally abusive environment with another employee. Whom I found out he's sexually involved with

Possibly. Sounds like the makings of a lawsuit for which you should seek an employee-side civil litigator.
A former employer of mine is threatening to sue me claiming I took work from the company and wants repayment for lost business to the company. I am trying to find out if they have any ground to stand on with that claim. I never "stole" work from the company, on 3 occasions after a... Read more »
answered on Aug 22, 2022
Possibly. Depends in part on any employment agreement you had. Also depends on whether your customer was an actual customer of your former employer at the time.
he has possessions in my garage and I have possessions including vehicles on his property that are constantly under the threat of going to the junk yard if I don't work its a really mixed up mess
answered on Aug 11, 2022
Have you talked to him about him getting his stuff out of your garage, and you get your cars out of his yard, and both of you just go your separate ways?

I don't believe there is anything suspect about this procedure, more information could tip the scales. The EEOC has published guidance on this and on mandatory vaccinations.

The trucking company is out of Oklahoma. This person is physically able to perform all required job duties and have passed a DOT physical
answered on Jul 20, 2022
This depends on the employer's reasoning for not hiring the individual. If, after passing all required tests, the employer still believes the employee isn't able to perform the job due to his or her weight, then the individual should reach out to a Michigan employment attorney to discuss...

My son took a job and got an 11,000.00 relocation package. He used it. He is leaving at 10 months because he was afraid his job was being eliminated and had been offered a much higher paying job. They told him at his exit interview he owes the entire amount back and they are garnishing his entire... Read more »
answered on Jul 11, 2022
Everything you write seems plausible. I don't think there is a way it has to be done. If the employment agreement was for him to receive $11,000 on condition that he stays at least a year, then I think the company has a right to demand at least some of it back. I suppose you could argue that... Read more »
Month, she then told me I would not be a good fit around here and then she ended the call.
This is religious discrimination right?
answered on May 30, 2022
Unlikely. From your question, it sounds like you were still in the interview stage. You offered - they didn't ask - a reason why you couldn't work the hours they wanted you to work. Their reason for not hiring you may be entirely due to your unavailability for the hours they need you,... Read more »

It's probably not entirely helpful to send you to read a statute, but there is a pretty helpful website from the State of Michigan that discusses the boundaries of the Youth Employment Standards Act (YESA). It doesn't appear as though a minor 16 years or older requires a parent's... Read more »
She told our Manager and asked her not to tell us because the employee said she’d tell us. When she told me over the phone, after working together for the whole week, it was 8 days notice. I feel since our employee handbook states 2 weeks required to get paid out PTO, I’m being just. She’s... Read more »
answered on May 23, 2022
You may be justified in your stance, but is it worth it to the company to defend against a court action.
Here's a thought: how about deducting the daily value of the PTO for each day short of 2 weeks notice and see if she'll agree with that?
You really should make this... Read more »
