turn around and say they dont know when you would be starting diploma
Technically an employer can extend your start data unless there is a contract (not just an offer) regarding a start date. An employer can also rescind an offer. On the other hand, you do not have to put up with extensions and are free to continue your job search. If you find a new job, take it!
I work for someone for cash we had a falling out he decided he was going to send me a 1099 form can he legally do that
Your employer has an obligation to report your income to the IRS. You cannot agree with your employer to keep secret the money you earn.
If you are an independent contractor, your employer should report your income to the IRS on a 1099. If you are an employee, your employer should report... Read more »
A company hires a large group of people (150-200) for a seasonal position. The hiring manager gets commission for each person hired. 1-3 months later, the company fires all people hired. This has happened to multiple different groups over the course of a few years. Is this legal?
Unless there is some contract, this is unfortunately probably legal. I wish it wasn't, but there's not really anything that can be done about horrible management decisions.

It states that I need to report to a lawyers office on a certain date. I do not even know what this is for. Do I have to go since I was not served directly? It so, am I able to obtain information about what this is for before I go?
If you reside at the residence and someone over 18 signed for you, then yes - you need to appear. You can absolutely contact the law firm or lawyer that issued the subpoena and ask what it is about or even ask to reschedule.
Hi; Wondering if you might answer a question for me? Can my employer count my vacation and holiday days as missed work for disciplinary reasons? For example: If I take 10 days for paid time off and miss two days some other time for being sick can my employer say that I've missed 12 days of work... Read more »
How an employee is disciplined based on absences normally doesn't have a legal implication. It typically governed by your employer's handbook, unless it is being applied unevenly based on your race, religion, a disability, etc. I would check the handbook to start.
They give us 12 hours of work to finish in 8, but only pay for 10. The extra 2 is straight pay, and not overtime, is it legal?
The Fair Labor Standards Act requires that employers typically pay their employees time and one-half their regular rate of pay for all hours worked per week in excess of 40. Your entitlement to overtime is determined on a weekly basis, not daily. Unless you are subject to an exemption, if you are... Read more »
Also if they have to pay me, will it be considered overtime?

For example, would that 17 year old need a work permit even though they are already in college? Will the work hours limit still apply?
Under federal law, there are no restrictions on when and how much an employee may work once he or she turns 16. However, 16 and 17 year-old employees are restricted from performing certain hazardous jobs, such as operating heavy machinery or handling dangerous chemicals. Additionally, if an... Read more »
I don't get paid any time I'm off waiting to come back. I work in Ohio. Is this legal?
You may be entitled to pay for this time but you might not be. There are a lot of factors that must be analyzed to make this determination. These include:

The hourly rate for a cook is 13 dollars an hour. I trained for 2 days being a cook for $10; aside from that I have had 4 cooking shifts... Read more »
Keep requesting that they make the change. There is no law that requires them to pay you a certain amount based on the job. They are only required to pay you minimum wage.
The easiest way would probably be to hire an employment law attorney. There's no guarantee that it would make it go faster though. Speak with an employment law attorney as soon as possible. Some will offer a free initial consultation.

It sounds like something your employer put in manually. It is not a standard abbreviation used on paystubs. I would ask you HR department.
It is not legal for your employer to withhold pay for more than 30 days. They are required to pay you minimum wages for ALL hours worked.
