Probably lawful. Employers in North Carolina are not required to allow employees off for medical/health issues unless the employer is covered by FMLA (has at least 50 employees) and the employee is eligible (employed for at least 12 months and worked 1250 hours).

If you quit, with very few exceptions, you are not entitled to unemployment. Based on what you have shared, there are no exceptions that apply and you will not get unemployment if you quit (resign). Your boss cannot make you give a two week notice if you do not want to although he could fire you.... View More

The answer to your question will likely depend on whether you will be paid by the company for the remaining two weeks. If your employer has agreed to pay you for this time even though you're not working (either by agreement or as a severance benefit), then you will not be eligible for... View More

Yes. It is always lawful to switch a person from salary to to hourly. However, it may not be lawful to switch an employee from hourly to salary. It is also lawful to reduce an employee's wages with a couple of caveats. First, the reduction cannot be below the required amount, i.e. minimum... View More

I am confused by this post. Are you saying you are a state employee? 25 NCAC 01j.0611 is part of the NC State Human Resources Act which applies to state employees only. A state employee would be advised of a suspension. What does the attorney in Fayetteville have to do with that? Is the attorney... View More

There is no specific "legal" way for an employer to terminate your employment or communicate suspensions etc. They can tell you in person, call you text you, or communicate it in any other way. In fact, that can communicate it non-verbally such as by changing the keys to the facility or... View More

If you were an employee, and the money she gave you was for work you performed, it is not likely that you owe the money to her. If you were an employee, and it was not for work you performed, she might have a claim. If you were an independent contractor, the answer to the question would depend.... View More

Not really. An employer in NC can fire you or lay you off for any reason that is not discriminatory unless you have a written employment contract. If your unemployment benefits are equal to your pay, you have no case at all even if you can prove this was discrimination.

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, you must be paid for all hours worked. However, since North Carolina is an at-will employment state (meaning either you or your employer can terminate the employment relationship for any reason at any time), your employer is allowed to terminate your employment...

You did not post a question. However, by itself, there is nothing unlawful about the employer not inviting you.

The North Carolina General Statutes contain the information that needs to be on your lien form. Its set out almost in a form in the statute. See 44A-12. However, I would recommend an attorney as the lien process can be complicated.

Send a letter to the other party's attorney telling them you need the answer within a certain period for example 10 days or two weeks of the date of your letter to them. Offer to talk about the information and why you need it. See if you can work out a deal to get all the information or your... View More

Yes. Some states have a time-frame by which employees must be paid, so you would need to check with an employment lawyer in North Carolina, but a few days would likely not put them in violation. For example, Ohio requires payment within 30 days, so there is not violation until the 31st day occurs... View More

Yes, and the employee can be fired for missing work even if the doctor gives a note. The only exception is if the child's condition meets the definition of serious health condition under the FMLA and the parent is an FMLA eligible employee with remaining FMLA leave.

The answer depends on the language of the repayment agreement. The repayment agreement is just a contract. There are usually terms that address broad situations, such as being transferred to a position that is or is not comparable to your current position. You should look at the Agreement and see...

Every contract has to have consideration to support it. Therefore, if there is no consideration, there is no contract. A couple of things to note. First, consideration is anything of legal value and not just money. Second, even if the contract is legally unenforceable, the employer may file a... View More

Not sure that I completely understand what you are asking or why you think this is working for free. The wage and hour law requires an employer to pay an employee for all time worked unless the employees is salaried exempt. If you work over a scheduled shift or ending time, but your hours are...

In general, yes. North Carolina is an employment-at-will state where an employee can be fired at any time for good, bad or no reason at all. If he is not performing upto the employer's expectations, then he can be fired and that would be considered a "good" reason. However, if he is... View More

It would be unlawful if you really did work during that 30 minutes. It would not be unlawful if you did not work during that 30 minutes.

Yes, they can fire you if you do not come in. You would not have a legal claim unless you were out due to something like jury duty, military service or FMLA.
