Other citizens aren’t pressing charges, only DA’s offices can do that. And while it’s annoying to deal with someone shouting curse words at you, it’s harder to establish whether that’s actually illegal conduct. You can report that behavior to the police and let them know that it’s... View More

What matters is not whether you believe you owed the money related to the alleged debt for which you were sued. What matters is if you were properly served with the summons, the amount of the judgment, the calculation of post-judgment interest. If service of the summons was improper you may file... View More

You are only entitled to OT when you actually work more than 8 hours in a day. If less than 8 hours are worked, you have no right to OT, even if your total hours exceed 8 hours when you add on sick pay. The other response you have received that suggests to the contrary is AI generated and is wrong.... View More

I'm sorry this happened to you. Most sensible people would find this humiliating and demoralizing, notwithstanding what the law or your team situation legitimizes in terms of sharing such information.

An attorney who has experience with ERISA plans could probably advise you best here, but your question remains open for two weeks.

If you refuse to sign it and your employer fires you, you will have an argument with the TWC as to whether your were fired "for cause." Your position would be that you refused to sign it because it isn't true.
