This comes one week after I informed them that I am pregnant and one week after they issued themselves $75000-$84000 bonuses. They claim my pay reduction from $60000 to $40000 (now only female and least paid employee) is due to a slow in business. They offered me 10000 shares if and when the... Read more »
Reach out to an employment attorney in your state for a consultation. It sounds like this pay cut came right after you announced your pregnancy, and discrimination based on pregnancy is unlawful.
I'm a newly hired employee & during interview & my first few weeks of employment was confirmed that their Incident Management team in Sri Lanka was 24x7.

HR and top management did nothing. I recently found out from one of the HR members that this same employee has multiple pending sexual harassment lawsuits against him and the company. Which our company is settling. I asked for this employee to be kept away from me if these allegations are true.... Read more »

Am I allowed by Law to get paid paternal leave? If yes , for how long . I know that companies with 30 employees and more must provide their employees with paid leave, just not sure what is the laws saying about smaller businesses. Thank you.
Hi, the federal law governing medical leave, the Family Medical Leave Act ("FMLA") does not require the employer to give you *paid* leave. It protects your job if you take unpaid leave, however. One issue I see is whether or not your employer is covered by the FMLA. You state the employer has less... Read more »

Aggravated Assault first degree Felony.

Set an agreed upon lower base with a high compensation plan. Did a great job with sales and now my employer told me he was cutting my compensation plan by 75% because I made too much money.

This will depend on whether you have a written employment contract stating that you would be paid the agreed-upon amount for a specific amount of time (for example, for the next year). If you don't have this, then unfortunately you do not have a claim under federal law, as the Fair Labor Standards... Read more »

How can anyone intelligently speculate on this?
How do I sponsor him? What do I need to do?
It isn’t that easy. Much more information is needed. The USCIS and State Department must disqualify those who lack the proper employer and credentials. The buy American, employ Americans program has a significant impact upon discretion.

Most weeks they took out nothing. I was claiming 0 and married. I changed it to 1 then back to 0. I now have it 0 married but take out single with an extra $20. But I don't think they are taking the right amount out for any of the taxes now that I started looking closely. I called the labor board... Read more »
The IRS changes the schedules for withholding all the time. It is your responsibility to tell your employer how many dependents you claim and your marital status--and any other info requested on the Form W-4.
