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?
answered on Feb 28, 2023
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.

You can bring an action where the wrong occurred. Simple application of venue requirements.
My job duties haven’t changed, I have been in a management position for over 3 years. I work 75% of the time on our production line to keep operations going.

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
Union vote for a segment of employees was counted 4/8. Since then a 4% raise was approved for everyone but the segment of employees who took part in the union vote and a 2.5% bonus was announced today again for everyone but those who will have union representation. Is this legal?

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
employer to discriminate against employees “in regard... View More

The facts you present could present a retaliation claim but more information is needed to thoroughly evaluate. Please contact our law firm so that we can obtain more details.
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?
answered on Jan 25, 2022
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. The at-will doctrine applies in Pennsylvania and essentially allows an employer to terminate an employee for any reason or no reason. There are... View More

If it's the employer's computer they have a right of access. If you use it for personal things that is your risk. They can take the computer tomorrow, it's theirs. They can access the information any way they wish. It's theirs.
I have worked for my employer for 2 years. I finally received a review, up to this point I thought I was doing a good a job, never reprimanded or told otherwise.

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.

Why they have labor unions.
They would have to continue your unemployment benefits. As to your rights, suggest you contact a member of the Pennsylvania Association for Justice who handles employment issues. They give free consults.
Is this legal? They are using a private security company to enforce.

It sounds like you have a non-compete and/or non-solicitation agreement with your former employer. If the agreement is enforceable, and you violate the terms, your former employer can sue you and your new employer. You should have your contract containing the non-compete/non-solicitation...

I am an hourly employee in the state of Pennsylvania. I was told I was suspended on a Wednesday or Thursday, and that I needed to work my Saturday shift, then my suspension starts Sunday.

While it seems unusual to work another shift after the decision has been made to suspend an employee, it doesn’t seem unreasonable. If possible, check with your human resources department to see what the policies are for suspensions (does the suspension period start on the day the decision is... View More
