So I work for A restaurant group that owns multiple stores but are all owned under one name. I recently worked at a store I normally don't work at to help out, and then finished out my week at my normal location. When I received my paycheck for that 1 week, I received a paycheck from the 1... Read more »
Interesting question that I think you would need to contact a labor attorney about. You may also want to reach out to the state's wage and labor board. I can see why you'd inquire. I think some of it comes down to how this restaurant group and corporate structure is actually arranged.
Can employer terminate now that I have almost worked 60 days since resignation without having to pay my wages for 60 days since they are severing contract before my last day of work provided in resignation?
This depends on the language in your contract. You should contact an employment lawyer in your area to review the contract.
They have the ability to call this an improper call off but did not and would not resolve with me after I submitted my discharge papers.
Right, wrong, or indifferent, Michigan is mostly an "at will" employment state. You may leave, or your employer may let you go, at any time for almost any reason or no reason at all.
There is an employer using contractors as employees and paying them in a way that they commonly work for less than minimum wage. The Employer uses constant threats of lawsuits to try and keep people from working outside of the company. The Employer has tried several times to pay people for work... Read more »
Depends on who you are to this company. If you are an employee, the old military adage "do what your rank can handle" comes to mind. If you are outside the company, your options are more limited. But if you are in a position to stop doing business with this company, you could do so and... Read more »
I filed for a PUA claim using the reason "independent contractor experienced a significant reduction in usual or customary services" as I did work for the local school.
When I went to re-certify earlier this year they asked for proof of 2019 income and I gave them my 1099.... Read more »
Possibly. You'll need to read the notice you received closely to determine what steps are needed at this point. You may also wish to seek the assistance of an attorney.

Possible workers comp claim. Seek attorney for advice on that and take things from there.
She found out that it was a lie. They had nickle AND lead, and some have reported the lead is toxic. Now, I know MLMs are extremely hard to catch, but they tout these jewels, necklaces, bracelts, etc as LEAD AND NICKLE free to ALL consultants, AND customers. Is there ANYTHING my mom can do to sue...

This sounds like a breach-of-contract claim. The devil is in the details, and there are more details than I can list in this format. Who would be the defendant? Is there a written warranty by the seller regarding the merchandise? Where is the defendant? Is there jurisdiction here in Michigan?... Read more »
phoned by new employer and asked that they move my start date to 1/1 as my current employer wants me to continue working on a project. My new company is an offshoot of my current company, i.e. they are completely separate legal entities but because of the relationship many of the people know one... Read more »
Is it legal? Depends on the outcome you are hoping for. They obviously can't make you continue working. Do you have a separation agreement?
In all honesty, with the relationship between the companies, why rock the boat?
Been employed 19 yrs now employer is mandating a federal background check. It ask if you ever been convinced of misappropriation or misappropriation of funds. If I have a retail fraud conviction 7-8 yrs ago do I need to disclose that in this part of the form? I would rather not mention it at all.
Misappropriate would must often mean embezzlement, not necessarily retail fraud.
I got a letter from the Michigan Unemployment Office saying a “question of eligibility and/or qualification has been raised on a claim in which you are an interested party”. The dates they want proof of income on range from 3/2020 all the way to 5/2021.
If I got unemployment benefits... Read more »
You really need to speak to a lawyer soon, and preferably before you respond to the request for information. Whether criminal charges arise may depend on intent.
Just remember: there's an old tale that says it's not the act itself that gets us in trouble; it's often the... Read more »
Yes. And in fact you may have an obligation to pay it back if it was unearned.
I had a lawsuit and won never met the lawyer and didn’t really know how much I was getting only what he told me,is there any way I can really find out
If you were represented by an attorney, you should contact that person's office for details. Typically what happens in a settlement is that the party making payment sends a check to the recipient's attorney, made out in both the attorney's and the recipient's name. That check is... Read more »
I work for a staffing firm that does payroll/hr/admin contracting for a large client. I’m a corporate employee who manages the hr system for both the staffing agency and the client, in the past I managed payroll for both companies as well (the contracted agency employees and the direct client... Read more »
As a practical matter, I'm not sure it's to either company's benefit for you to manager HR for the both of them. Payroll is another matter, which I don't think is much of an issue.
The arrangement is likely legal; "best practice"? probably not.
The individual that harassed me continues to work there, and creates a hostile environment.
It’s good that there is hard evidence in the case, rather than a case of he said she said. The first step is to document with the HR department at your company. Hopefully your employer will take steps to ensure that this does not happen again. If they do not, you will have a compilation of... Read more »

To what end would such a letter serve? If you wish to find a different job - which I wouldn't blame you if something like that happened - would they object to you receiving unemployment?

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for five weeks. It's difficult for attorneys to reach out to you within the format of this Q & A forum. This doesn't operate like an attorney referral service. If you haven't already spoken with an attorney, you... Read more »
The case is under 25k of the jurisdiction limit of the circuit court and I would like to know if it can be transferred instead of being dismissed?
Seek an attorney. Civil law is not intuitive - there are a lot of rules and procedures you need to follow just like an attorney; you cannot succeed on merit alone. And it's not about being competent: lawyers spend years in school, and even longer in practice mastering all the rules and... Read more »
I have a medical condition that should be a contraindication to the vaccine; however, my employer disregards this and any other medical condition in their mandate of the vaccine. Should I resign or let them fire me? And do I have any recourse against them for it?
You are in relatively uncharted waters. You may have an interesting case. But your biggest concern now should be what you are going to do to make ends meet between now and whenever your case gets resolved, which could be years.
Two coworkers were overheard conspiring to get me fired. I filed a complaint, and they told me to let it go.
If your employer has not fired you, as your complaint alleges is the conspiracy, I'm unsure what damages are that you would be seeking from them. And what did you expect the company to do with your complaint? This is definitely a case of picking your battles. You filed a complaint, the... Read more »
CASE IS TOO NEW TO BE HEARD.
It's been over 2 years. Where do I go from here?
Workers comp claims take awhile. Your attorney probably knows very well the timeline and process. You could consult with another workers comp attorney, but they may tell you the same.
