If your daughter-in-law's employer is requiring her to work for a full year after the birth of her son so that her maternity costs are covered, this is a violation of the PHRA. Even if she quits before the full year is up, her employer cannot hold her legally liable for any insurance costs.
I have an additional one year of experience at the company and am training the new hires

I work for an agency. They put me on salary to not have to pay me overtime but I was told that is wrong and I should be paid overtime even though I am salary and also was told that they should not be deducting from my pay if I have to leave an hour or two early but they do deduct currently

You are more than likely entitled to overtime. Paying someone a salary, by itself, is not enough to overcome an employer's obligations to pay overtime. Please feel free to contact me to discuss this further.

I think you need to try posing your question again. What we see here is too garbled to make any sense.
Do I need to file a charge with the EEOC?

You have 6 months from the date of the incident to file with the EEOC or PHRC. You must do this in order to preserve your right to sue.
My I-94 class of admission is DT, I came across the border. Am I eligible to file Form I-765 Application for Employment Authorization? What is my Eligibility category? Should I seek employment authorization under category (c)(11)? How soon can I file Form I-765 since I crossed the border?
answered on Nov 16, 2022
Generally, someone who is admitted as DT can file a form I-765 under (c)(11) as soon as they are admitted. However, if it is granted, it will only be valid for as long as the status is valid.
The companies that terminated me have offices in the state where I reside

Unfortunately, there is no law that requires paid time off, so employers have a lot of discretion to make the rules regarding when (and how much) they offer. However, this may be worth bringing a complaint to the attention of your HR department and explaining the discrepancy if you have not already... View More

I'd like to hear more about this, but based on your representation, it appears to be unlawful discrimination under the National Labor Relations Act. For example, Section 8(a)(3) of the Act makes it an unfair labor practice for an

On January 18th we were notified that we were being let go from our position that day with no notice at all. Our Temp Agency was not aware of this till the day they ended our contract. Was that legal? If not how do we set up a class action against them?

I'd like to know more information because the answer likely depends on whether you had a contractual relationship with CVS or just the temp agency.

They can be as sloppy as they can, but there is no illegality. Unless you have a written contract of employment, you serve at will. You have no property right nor contract right in your job.

You are leaving out important facts. What was the legal bar to your employment all that time? You could have picked up a SS number on line if you needed one. What opportunities did you miss? Were you a government employee?

What's the point in reporting late ? Your complaint should have been filed before separation, not after, especially if you thought this abusive employee was complicit in someway with your separation.
