Unsupervised pest control job. In three years i've never been enforced to clock out until now when a new manager comes in
answered on Jun 20, 2022
You should call an attorney to discuss your situation. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act employers are not required to pay employees for "bona fide" lunch breaks that last 20 minutes or more. However, if you are required to keep working after you clock out for lunch, the lunch break is... Read more »

There is nothing inherently wrong with providing these services to a supervisor, provided you are licensed to provide such counseling.
An employee has filed two toxic work environment claims against me and after being investigated they came out in my favor. Any time I correct her on her job or have to take disciplinary action against her she files more paper work in HR. It’s making it to where I’m afraid to do my job as a... Read more »

Nothing. Taking any action will look like retaliation on your part. Understand that anyone that keeps making unsubstantiated allegations will have little credibility. If it were me, I would ask for a sit down with a Manager in Human Resources. At the meeting, express concern about how best to... Read more »
If the condition is something categorized by ADA as being a chronic condition. And the overtime hours that he'd be working were never discussed.
answered on Apr 11, 2022
Generally speaking, the terms of employment are between the parties and can be changed at anytime, and a doctor’s note need not be accepted by an employer. The exception is if the employer has enough employees to be covered by the ADA and the situation deals with a reasonable accommodation... Read more »

Can you legally make me hire from one group and not from all others? If so, please explain to me how this is possible? I have 30 employees in a very diverse group, all nationalities, religions, gender, straight and not. But this new NFL rule has me concerned that in time it will be the government... Read more »

The US Constitution places limits on government action, not on the conduct of private parties or organizations, such as the NFL. This is a common misconception among laypersons.
they have made it a policy that if vaccinated then you will get paid for being off with COVID and if unvaccinated you will not get paid. I see that as discrimination, that is no different than sexual preferences, race etc.
answered on Mar 3, 2022
There is a big difference between this and sexual preferences, race. Federal law prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of race, sex, age (40+), religion, national origin, or disability. Discrimination on any basis other than against one of those special classes is perfectly legal. As an... Read more »
I quit a company and in the contract I signed it says that I could be charged $36,000 if I quit before my two year contract ended. The company works by training you for 12 weeks and then contracting you out to tech companies. I left halfway through the training and have seen multiple posts saying... Read more »

You should hire an attorney to review the entire contract. Under Missouri law, penalties are not enforceable but liquidated damages are. Whether the contract deems the fee "liquidated damages" is not necessarily dispositive, but liquidated damages provisions are commonly enforced.
Does the legal number of hours on a school day change if the school day is a snow day?
answered on Feb 23, 2022
Federal law places restrictions on when 14 and 15-year old employees can work during the school year, but no similar restrictions apply once you turn 16. There may be other applicable Missouri labor laws, however, so you should consult a Missouri employment attorney regarding your situation.
I put in my notice after being informed of a investigation that would probably cost my job. I gave my resignation with the stipulation that I would be rehire-able and coded off as voluntary. I was asked to stay on an additional week which I did. Two weeks afterwards the employer changed my status... Read more »

You state that you resigned with a "stipulation." Unless I am missing something, it appears that your employer didn't agree with the stipulation and therefore availed itself of the benefits of employment at will and terminated your employment.
The days missed were because of testing positive for covid-19
answered on Feb 7, 2022
Unless you are subject to an employment contract that provides otherwise, your employer may require a six-day work week.
Upon receiving my last wage statement, I found my pay had been reduced by $2 p/hr. I was not notified of any rate change. I have talked to my boss and to HR about this and they have told me that because I am not doing a specific task as my job (relief driver) that I am not entitled to the pay -... Read more »
answered on Jan 7, 2022
There is a Missouri statute that may apply. It's a pretty weak one, however.
290.100. Thirty days' notice of reduction of wages, how. — Any railway, mining, express, telegraph, manufacturing or other company or corporation doing business in this state, and desiring to... Read more »
To pay back money that was not stolen from them and had me come in after I was fired to train someone to use computer I have emails were they say I stoled from them with I didn’t, I have proof. Can I sue for defamation of character I had 10yr with them with never one issue
answered on Dec 20, 2021
Defamation cases are tough and expensive in Missouri. If your employer merely sent false emails to you and terminated your employment because it believed you committed theft, then you don't have a basis for a defamation suit in Missouri. Defamation requires publication of the false statement... Read more »
Gave a two day notice instead. I was an exempt salary employee. It was an at will position. Just want to know next steps of action since I cannot view a paystub nor see that I got paid today 12/1. Paycheck isn't technically due until 12/2, but I get paid a day early. Right after I quit on... Read more »

You are entitled to your last paycheck. An at-will employee is not required to give two-weeks notice. Conversely, an employer can file at at-will employee without any notice.
My employer refuses to deal with infestation as well as never telling me that an infestation was present
answered on Dec 1, 2021
You didn't ask a legal question but I will assume you want to know your options. If you can prove that your employer was negligent then you could recover damages if there were a lawsuit. Whether it is worth suing depends on many factors, including the amount of damages suffered, whether you... Read more »
I know I haven’t been here for a year so they don’t have to give me paid leave and that’s fine but can they honestly fire me for giving birth?
answered on Nov 26, 2021
The short answer is yes and no. It is a violation of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act to discharge someone for giving birth. Still, the act doesn't require an employer to provide any preferential treatment to a pregnant woman. The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is the only job protection... Read more »

I live and work in St louis mo. My employer refused to pay me any sort of wage for the first 1.5 months of my employment stating that he didnt have to since i was in "training" but i was normally here alone running everything. I work approximately 57 hours a week. I was allowed to keep only my tips.
answered on Oct 7, 2021
The short answer is "yes," you generally should be paid for training and I believe you might have a strong claim to assert. Whether you are a tipped employee may determine the wage due. Contact an attorney in the St. Louis area to discuss representation in going after your employer for... Read more »
I deliver in Illinois, a 2 party consent state. I wasn't made aware that the video camera in my vehicle records audio until I found out last week. I also deliver in Missouri. Would it be worth it to sue my employer since I signed no agreement and wasn't verbally notified my audio was... Read more »

Whether it is worth suing will depend upon the following:
1. What is your goal?
2. How much will it cost to sue?
3. What are your chances of prevailing?
4. What damages would you be awarded if you win,
5. Does the IL statute have a provision entitling you to... Read more »
