My father used fear to scare my mom into not giving me my birth certificate (keeping me out of the system or far away from hospitals). He passed... Read more »
You are leaving out important facts. What was the legal bar to your employment all that time? You could have picked up a SS number on line if you needed one. What opportunities did you miss? Were you a government employee?
What's the point in reporting late ? Your complaint should have been filed before separation, not after, especially if you thought this abusive employee was complicit in someway with your separation.

Why they have labor unions.
They would have to continue your unemployment benefits. As to your rights, suggest you contact a member of the Pennsylvania Association for Justice who handles employment issues. They give free consults.
Is this legal? They are using a private security company to enforce.
So far, it is not illegal. The law about Covid vaccination is in a process of constant changes due to the differing opinions of diverse groups.

I am an hourly employee in the state of Pennsylvania. I was told I was suspended on a Wednesday or Thursday, and that I needed to work my Saturday shift, then my suspension starts Sunday.
While it seems unusual to work another shift after the decision has been made to suspend an employee, it doesn’t seem unreasonable. If possible, check with your human resources department to see what the policies are for suspensions (does the suspension period start on the day the decision is... Read more »
If you mean does it show up as a conviction it should not. It depends on the job--if it involves a security clearance, some can be denied even if you were not convicted.
Depends on the type of liability insurance. If you mean general liability, no, unless your contract with the person hiring you requires it.
I got denied for unemployment and im not sure if i should file an appeal or if im just going to waste my time in doing so.
Well, to be blunt, if you are not employed you don't have much to lose except your time, and you have free time. Without knowing the case it's hard to say but it's certainly worth a shot. If you are not working check with legal aid if someone will give you a free consult.
After 12 week FMLA/STD for documented behavioral health issues, doctor recommends working P/T permanently. If my F/T position can’t be adapted for P/T hours, would my employer have to “lay me off?” If so, could I file for unemployment?

The company pays $138 a day plus over time hrs. The clocking system were always broken as the manager said. We used to put the time in and out on the paper. I never get my exact working hours.
You should have received a paycheck which would say the hours, unless you were a contractor. If you get a W-2 at the end of the year you are an employee and your pay stubs should have all the information. If you get a 1099, you are an independent contractor. As such you need to keep track of your... Read more »

1. Verbal & Sexual Harassment
2. Unpaid hours every week due to archaic system; and I can’t prove it since I was told to report hours worked to management, who didn’t consistently report my time to payroll.

Unless she is harassing you because of your status in a protected class (i.e., race, ethnicity, disability, etc.) or the harassment is sexual in nature, there is likely no legal recourse. If that is the case, it sounds like your best option may be to move departments.
