This depends on many factors. First, federal law only applies to larger employers, not small shops. Second, was the nature about a topic that our laws do not prevent disclosure, like medical records, of having a disease. Third, was the information false? And, fourth, in what way has this harmed...

Unless you have a contract that prohibits it, likely so. In GA, and employer has the right to hire and fire, with few requirements, for a REASON. Many employers do not permit uncompensated days. If you are in a panel being considered for selection, try to raise this issue, pointing out that you... View More

Generally an employee in a private company can be fired for any reason such as violating company policy or even as simple a reason as they just want a change or don't think you are a good fit or a problem employee
Employee has been working for about 2 weeks. The manager did not follow up with the employee for not showing up to work as the person already had schedule.

Generally as a private employer you can fire an employee for any reason that is legitimate and not discriminatory or retaliatory in violation of any law or Civil rights act, even just because you don't like the person or feel he's working out
I was applying for an appartment in GA that had income restrictions. My boss lied about my income by $9000 and i was rejected.

I don't see that he has done anything other than lie--may want to keep an eye open for other jobs as he's not doing you any favors.
I was released on bond two days later but I have not yet received a court date. This is my first time ever being in legal trouble so I'm not sure what to expect. Why is it taking so long? Do I need a lawyer? Is this charge currently visible to all employers for a background check?
answered on Dec 20, 2016
Contact a criminal lawyer to help you with the theft by conversion case. The criminal lawyer should also be able to advise you about whether the charge will appear on a background check. Good luck.

It is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against an employee because of that employee's disability. File a claim with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC"). If they accept your claim, they will investigate your employer's actions. Good luck.

You would want to consult a member of the Ga.TrialLawyers Assn who handles employment to see what your options are.
There should be some way of clearing this but frankly there aren't.

Possibly. It depends on the impact your medical condition will have on your job and whether you can perform the essential duties of your job while at home. Contact an employment attorney to provide more details and to get a more in depth and confidential response.
Like, this minister has a lung disease, and cant go a day without passing out, has 8 years of medical history. They say he cant perform the job, so they are trying force him out the door with a severance.He counter offered by trying to take a different position in the church but they said no.

Churches can manage their own affairs. It is up to the church as it's rules dictate to decide--in some cases it's the congregation, in other's it's a bishop.There are no mandatory pension or other schemes for churches. You raise an interesting ADA question.
