Mandatory overtime is legal. If you refuse it can be counted against you. However, it is not legal to Penalize FMLA recipients while they are on leave or count it against them by deducting their time.

Possibly, yes. Did your employer have a handbook? We’re the procedures followed? Did your employer have a family medical leave act?
for being 15, i was wondering what should be done about this.

Probably nothing to be done. Kentucky is an at will employment state, which means they can fire you for any reason or no reason st all.

If he didn’t threaten you, point or pull the gun at you, or use force or coercion to get you to sign the writeup, a suit may be difficult to win.
I live in Kentucky and have a contract that says i have to give a 3 month notice before quitting. It also says that i can not get another job in the same field during that same 3 months period. Is this enforceable? Money will get real tight towards the end of my notice period as i am paid on... View More

It probably is enforceable. If the contract does not preclude you getting another job before you give notice, then you should first acquire the new job and thereafter give your 90 day notice.

You need to contact a member of the Ky Assn for Justice to see what can be done; they give free consults.. You had a case but it's been made muddy.

An H-1B employee is only allowed to receive income from the H-1B employer as described in the H-1B petition. Working for any other employer would require a new petition or a "concurrent" H-1B petition from the second employer. H-1B also depends on an employer-employee relationship. One... View More

These claims are very fact specific, but you may have a claim for age discrimination and you may also have a claim for unpaid overtime if the company misclassified you as an "independent contractor."
My husband has been working for the past month seven days a week, ten hour days. He has not received time and a half for his over time he received like time and maybe a fourth. For the 30 hours overtime.

To get an accurate answer to this question you would need to provide more information. At a minimum, if your husband is not exempt, then under the Fair Labor Standards Act he should be receiving time and a half if he is required to work more than 40 hours per work week. A local attorney can give... View More

I'm not sure what you mean by getting attitude. But it appears that you should take the better job and also seek worker's compensation for the medical expenses incurred as a result of the injury.

There is no limit on the hours that can be required to work, however, if you work over 40 hours per week you may be entitled to overtime under the FLSA.
answered on Dec 13, 2011
An employer can pay in cash or check. Taxes are not optional so they have to be paid no matter how you are paid. As to overtime, as long as you are non-exempt under the FLSA you should receive it for all hours worked over 40 in one week. It really depends, however, on how you are paid and what... View More
