They did not shut down their workforce center as mandated by the order and still require all employees to report to work.
I am not sure what your question is? Executive orders are unlike legislative acts. For example, when an employer violates a legislated act such as the Labor Law, there are sometimes provisions where a private attorney general action may be maintained by an attorney and their client with specified...

I am locked into a lease until August. Recently, my household income has taken a huge hit due to reduced hours worked and wages earned, and we are struggling to make ends meet. I have always made payments early and have a great history with this company. I contacted my landlord and explained the... Read more »
Residential or commercial? If commercial, apply for Federal loans that pay for rent. Either way, there are no evictions for 90 days, at which point, we should all be back in business.
The county is of no importance. The purchase was made during the marriage and as such is marital property no matter what name the camper is in.
Me and the father of my child have joint custody. Placement was with me here in NY but changed in August cause she wanted to move in with him in WV. Now she is wanting to move back with me but I'm not sure where to file. NY or WV, cause they are both telling me to filed in other state. The original... Read more »
You have not indicated that the original order was modified to give the father custody. If there was no modification, nothing needs to be done. If there was a modification, as long as the original order was from NY and the modification was done in NY, NY has jurisdiction and you can file in NY.... Read more »
Do i have to take the pay from my employer?
If you are forced to take a pay cut; for example 50%, employees do not have to keep working in those situations. It's called constructive discharge and in those circumstances not the employee's fault. There is case law to support benefits for drastic pay cuts or not paying overtime or other... Read more »
Yes. It is garnishable.
According to the covid stimulus package, those who are in default of their student loans will not have their tax refund garnished. My question is: Does this apply to only 2019 tax refunds, or will it also apply to 2017 and 2018 refunds? I am entitled to refunds for the past three years and never... Read more »
The stimulus does not involve tax year 2019--because 2019 tax returns are not even due until July 15, 2020. Moreover, If you have never filed tax returns for tax years 2018 or 2017 you will probably not receive any stimulus check.
I hired a dress designer who gave me a deal on a dress where if I referred two people the dress would be half off.

My landlord has legal fees as well as maintainance fees on my rent statement which adds up to approx. $3000.00... i do not owe any money on my regular monthly rent . Maintenance charges are not on my lease. My landlord added those... Read more »
Your question states both maintenance fees and a rent statement, as well as mentioning your landlord. So it does need some clarification. If you file Bankruptcy to discharge debt to the landlord, there is no way that you can expect to stay in your apartment and have a lease renewal. That would not... Read more »
This is a coop apt and i got the dog for my daughter who has OCD and mild depression. I removed the dog now her symptoms are worse especially the depression
It sounds like you need to speak with a mental health professional about having the dog prescribed as an emotional support animal. They can be kept even if there is a no pets policy. As far as eviction, if you have openly had the dog for 3 years and the building staff knew there is a NYC law that... Read more »
I’ve been working there for 14 years and they suddenly are requiring us to wear a mask. I spoke to our EO who said they can’t make me but my boss is saying it’s manditory and if we don’t we have to use our time and take off from work. It’s a civil service position. Adding that only 2... Read more »
I think you have to examine the purpose for the requirement. It's to keep others, not you necessarily, safe.
Public safety almost always trumps (no pun intended) personal safety.
I guess wearing a hazmat suit might be another option but would not that be even worse? What other... Read more »

I requested asylum when my visa was still okay. I want to go to Mexico, because of the CoronaVirus, I have the option to be... Read more »
No one really knows right now what is going to happen to people in your situation. But in my humble opinion, if you go to Mexico, you will likely have to stay there until at least we have a new administration in the White House.
I nver got the work done and called them multiple time and they keep saying there going to and never do
It would be difficult for an attorney to answer without knowing the terms of your loan agreement, the underlying agreement for work to be performed, how it came to be that the work was never performed, communications between you and the dentist involving these things, and other factors. Good luck... Read more »
Friend is trying to purchase an apartment in NYC but has been told that they couldnt do the sale since he had pictures of himself hunting in Texas on his social media.
Yes, it's likely they can refuse to sell because they are not a protected class under Federal, State, or Local Law. If they are already in contract this would be a different story depending on the contract. You can check the AG's website for more information.... Read more »
Her. She took me to court to enforce the agreement because I didn’t leave. The judge gave me an extension until the last day of April.

Yes, evictions are stayed and the Courts are not open. Should you not comply, when the Courts reopen they maybe able to evict you, but this will be dependent on the facts of the case and the Court Order.

It is not likely you are entitled unemployment benefits. You are likely a sole proprietor and don't contribute. You can look here to see if you are exempt from unemployment: https://labor.ny.gov/ui/dande/covered1.shtm
