It is two nights a week, 6:30-9:30pm, and Saturdays. That still leaves me available for regular job hours.
Not legally. To collect unemployment, you must be actively seeking employment AND Both Willing and Able to accept a job. If you are in formal training, you are NEITHER willing nor Able to accept a job, if offered, nor are you actively seeking employment.
I have 11 weeks of sick leave and some personal and vacation days that I could use on Family Medical Leave. I intend to go back to work once I'm better. I've been off for 2 weeks and expect to go back in 2-3 weeks; long before I run out of sick days. I'm concerned that my employer has filed a... Read more »
That's a great question, but I doubt anyone can give you solid advice without sitting down and talking to you to get more information. Schedule an appointment with a competent workers' compensation lawyer. There's typically no charge for an initial appointment on workers' compensation matters. Try... Read more »
Hi There,
We are a Not For Profit Corporation, and we pay for patient medical expenses when they require financial assistance. We do not advise them on treatment, provide facilities to MDs, direct / employ MDs, or share profits with MDs. We simply pay patient Invoices when they are unable... Read more »
I'm not sure which 1099 form you're looking at, but it's probably the wrong one. This shouldn't be a contractor expense for you since the medical professionals do not contract with you -- rather, they contract with your patients.
With no more information than you provided, my hunch is you... Read more »
I feel that I was misclassified as an independent contractor in the first place but I know things get blurry in the realm of real estate: does this change anything? I also believe that I was terminated on grounds that were discriminatory and retaliatory but I am unfamiliar with my rights since I... Read more »
You're asking the right questions. The problem is that you need to schedule an appointment with a lawyer well-versed in employment law who can develop the information necessary to answer them by speaking with you. No one can provide you useful advice on the scant information provided.

Yes, as long as the pay cut isn't retroactive.
Tookin off work for two months also pick with when I return then fired in the end... what action should I take
More information is needed to evaluate whether you have a legal claim. If you were subject to harassment on the basis of your membership in a protected class (e.g,. race, gender, age (40+), religion, disability), you reported the harassment, and your employer terminated you after making the...

I was a lifeguard over the summer and I payed the company to get my certification (over $200) which included more than the cost of the textbook. Is this allowed? I heard that it is a scam.
There is no violation here. If your job requires a special certification, your employer can require you to obtain the certification before you begin work, and it is not required to reimburse you for the costs associated with obtaining the certification.
If you were driving at the request of your employer and you were injured, the injuries and any wage loss would be covered under Workers' Compensation. It is NOT sufficient that you were "on-call" but driving for entirely personal reasons. Under NO circumstances would your car be covered under... Read more »
After I was fired my employer refused send to give me my last two checks for nearly two weeks. When he finally did pay me he changed the dates and pay periods on the pay stubs so it would look like there was no waiting week when I started. Primarily because he kept that weeks worth of pay. I... Read more »
No. The question before the hearing officer is not whether your employer is a bad person, but whether you are entitled to unemployment benefits. Contact the state Department of Labor to file a claim for your unpaid wages. This can be done on their website if you worked in Illinois.
I submitted paper work for my severance pay and waited the 10 days to receive the paycheck. It’s been 13 days and I’ve been told by my Employee Service Center that paperwork was never submitted. I have bills to pay and need that check.
Your best bet is to re-submit the paperwork. A lawsuit will take months (and possibly years) to settle the issue.
And pay them more than the guy already doing the job without raising the other guys pay?
As a general rule, yes, they can unless there's a contract (such as a union contract) providing otherwise.
Employee law help.
The willingness of a lawyer to handle a case for nothing. That's it.
Illegal things include allowing unlicensed people to do surgery and taking clinic medications for his personal use (schedule II drugs, i.e. Codeine)
Unemployment comes when you are fired, not when you leave. Good luck.
6 years ago, i tore my ACL and required surgery. this was due to a work injury. fast forward to today, i was injured again at a new job and tore the same ACL and am now required to have another surgery. can my current employer try to deny my claim and surgery? this injury has always been disclosed...

They can try to deny the surgery, they are not likely to succeed. If you don't have a lawyer, get one ASAP to fight this for you.
I am currently on OPT and will start my H1B this October 2019. My parents have recently gotten a green card and I am curious If they can sponsor my green card so I can stay in the US to get the procedure completed.
Any help would be highly appreciated and I would like to start the... Read more »
More information is needed, but it may help provided you are eligible to file for adjustment 'before' your H-1b expires or is terminated due to resignation or termination. I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney, who can review all of the concerns... Read more »
I've been told about Cobra from the insurance card customer service number that the plan is until May 31, 2019, yet it was also said by the health insurance company that the plan is paid through March 2019. This affects my Special Enrollment Period, and I cannot get the owner to communicate back... Read more »
Contact the insurance company with your questions if you can't reach the employer.
I am an international student on F1 visa. I have accepted a job offer from a company(in Illinois) for which I have signed documents such as employment contract and NDA contract. All these documents has clearly mentioned the nature of employment as "At Will" with no mention of notice period... Read more »
Since you did not mention a non-complete clause in the employment contract, I will assume that issue is no concern. Accordingly, unless you have received some valuable benefit(s) from the first company (such as a signing bonus, special training, valuable company equipment, laptop, etc.), there... Read more »
Pay for travel time depends on whether you are commuting (which is not compensable) or traveling between job-sites or between your office or other base of operations and a job-site (which is typically compensable).
A new requirement was added to my responsibilities, I asked for an accommodation for my disability, was told no, and if I couldn’t complete it without an accommodation it would effect my employment... asked again 6 months later, was told no again and that “I just didn’t want to do it” and...

There is no way to answer your question effectively without an appointment (typically several hours long) reviewing the facts and any documents you can supply, investigating the medical condition that causes you to seek reasonable accommodation, etc.
I was told in November that we would have new phrases of development that I could help with. Now my boss said I do not have the knowledge. He asked me two weeks ago when I was planning on retiring. I have been with a company for 32 years and will be turning 64 in June.
Yes. If you are 40 years of age or older there's the possibility you are being discriminated on the basis of age. Make an appointment with an attorney who handles discrimination in employment cases as soon as possible. Bring as many pay stubs as you can gather for the past year, a copy of the... Read more »
