Was forced to leave my current location for no reason.
Hello, more information is needed here. Discrimination and retaliation would be unlawful if it is based on your race, religion, disability, or other protected class or activity. I would reach out to an employment law attorney in your state for a consultation.
My kids father and i split up so I’m moving to another city with my kids by force to live with my family. Which caused me a great setback.
You should reach out to the salon owner and explain your situation. If you can't pay the money owed in a lump sum, it may be possible to work out a payment plan where you pay in multiple installments.
I was on medical leave from some time in May to sometime in June for heart problems that have developed recently. I got an email today stating that my job was taking action to bring my termination request up at the next board meeting due to not returning to my job within the school system. I have... Read more »
You should follow your employer's instruction to call them if they have requested you do so. You should explain that your medical absence has been approved by the Director and provide your estimated return to work date. Additional information is needed to analyze whether you would have a...

hours do they have to accommodate me
More information is needed to answer your questions. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, an employer is required to engage in an interactive process to attempt to come up with a reasonable accommodation that allows you to perform the essential functions of your position but does not cause an...

After he asked judge for continuance he asked if the judge could order us to go to counseling? Why would he do all this if he wanted to go to counseling? I've been through and completed counseling/therapy several times and it is not just me that is the problem no matter how many times they... Read more »
I’d be happy to answer your question, but I’m not sure what it is. Maybe you would benefit from re-writing it and being more specific to what your question is.
He said he wanted to continue it and then asked the judge if he could order us all to go to counseling? I wouldn't have a problem with it at all but the TPO would still stay and I wouldn't get to go to work & coach my girls? I work 4 my dad for 31 yrs! I feel like this was done to get... Read more »
You need to speak to an attorney to get specific advice about a case in progress. This forum is best for general questions.
Never did Bill of Sale, only an asset purchase agreement. They breached multiple items of the sale agreement. Have asset sale agreement and employment agreement with Buyer. They changed me from 20 hrs/week salaried manager to hourly worker as needed and haven’t given me any work in two weeks... Read more »
It depends. Both Georgia and Pennsylvania courts will enforce valid restrictive covenants. Generally, to be enforceable, non-compete agreements must be reasonable as to time, geography, and activities restricted. In addition, courts are generally more tolerant of broad restrictions in a non-compete... Read more »
I am a Kansas resident and my son was until I let him finish out last year of HS in Georgia with his grandmother on a power of attorney. He hasn't been living with her for the last six months or so and she failed to tell me and lied about it when I asked until I had proof. I'm concerned... Read more »
Unfortunately I do not believe there is any criminal conduct since the relationship began when your son was 16. I do share your concern and it would likely be best for him to leave that situation.

Hello, more information is needed here. Why did they pay you according to one method and then another the next time? You should be paid at least the minimum wage for all hours worked. I would reach out to an employment lawyer in your state for a consultation if this is not the case.
They have made no attempts since he returned to work in May for reasonable accommodations. His restrictions are only no driving and no working on elevated surfaces or climbing ladders or stairs. The dr request was for him to be able to do table top work or desk work. Based on the ADA how can... Read more »
They may not be able to. It sounds like they are saying he needs to be "100% healed" to return to work. This may be a violation of the ADA. I would reach out to an employment law attorney in your state for a consultation and to discuss options.
It is a private sector job and I couldn't even remember what the employee said in passing in the first place. I was promptly fired as well as banned from the premises for a year for not telling him.
While your situation seems unfair, there is nothing inherently unlawful about this. Since you live in an at-will employment state, that means you can be fired for any reason or no reason at all (as long as the reason isn't discriminatory).
I'm 5 months pregnant and work at a preschool. Last week I had a doctor's appointment and my boss asked me how it went. I told her there were some complications and I may require more frequent doctor appointments at a high risk doctor 2 hours away. The next day she sent me a text message... Read more »
If your boss fires you, demotes you in either pay or job responsibilities, or refuses to allow you to return to work following a medical leave, then you may have a claim for pregnancy discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The close time proximity between notifying your... Read more »
My new position also existed prior to reorg. There was no previous coaching to indicate I would be removed from my job. If I do not accept the new position, what options do I have beyond just quitting?
While your employer's conduct in demoting you is not unlawful in and of itself, you'll want to consider why your employer has chosen to do this. Do you think they had any kind of discriminatory motive for demoting you (i.e. based on your race, sex, age, disability, or religion?) If so,... Read more »
I am applying to a nursing home as a temp aide and cna training and wanted to know if this could affect me. They both are felonies.
The term settlement is generally not used in criminal law. If by settlement you mean plea agreement, then you would have a criminal conviction which I expect your potential employer would consider before hiring you.
Your criminal record is composed of both (1) arrests and (2)... Read more »
I am on salary and I’m company is wanting to shut down for a few week, because business is slow but not put us on unemployment status. Should I still get paid for the time I’m forced to take off?
Yes, the company can furlough you. However, yes, you should apply for unemployment benefits.
I have to wear a certain uniform, work the hours they tell me to, and work how they want me to. Taxes are also *not* taken out of my check
This is always an interesting question: Does the employer exercise so much control over an individual that the individual must, legally, be an employee. This is a very fact-specific and detailed inquiry. Make an appointment with a local employment attorney to discuss. You may be able to recover... Read more »
I recently began a job that stated in their job description that we would receive a $500 sign on bonus after passing required certification exam and working (8am-430am) for 2 weeks. I also received another $500 employee referral bonus. I have both of these amounts posted in my work portal, but have... Read more »
It depends where they told you that you would get these amounts. You may have a breach of contract suit. They cant really dodge your e-mails, can they? Other e-mails are answered from the same addresses? You work there?
So you have a record of asking for your funds. This might support... Read more »
Yes, it is within the employer's rights to do so in Georgia.
My boss gave me corona and I had to quarantine and they said everything was fine I go to go back today and they tell me they have been training a new guy and said they can’t afford to pay both of us
Depending on the circumstances, you may have a claim for disability discrimination and/or failure to accommodate under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

I need to know if my employer is obligated to pay me at the original rate, I was paid 15 dollars an hour instead of 17 dollars an hour for 6 months, the hr department made a mistake with the payroll company, I was paid less than I should have been per hour
The Fair Labor Standards Act only requires that employees be paid at least minimum wage for each hour worked. However, if your employer has admitted it has made a mistake here, it may be worth it to request the issue be fixed in writing, both to your supervisor and to your HR department.
