This is a tough question.
Under the ADA, a disability is a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activity. An autoimmune disease can be, but is not necessarily, a disability. If it does not effect your work, it seems likely that it does not... View More
I used to valet cars for work and I had a mishap that caused 6k in damages. I no longer work there but it states I am liable for half the cost of the damages, but it states it will be reduced from the paycheck. Are they able to track me down and make me pay when I no longer work there?

If they sue you and get a judgment for money, then they may try to collect from you. Generally a Judgment is good for 10 years but might be extended in a few ways. As your present employer they can deduct from your salary in various ways. If sued, hire a TN attorney to defend you and possibly... View More

You could set up an entity to provide employees to both and then be reimbursed by both entities for the employees. Or the employees could be employed by one entity and when they work for the other - the other entity reimburses the first entity for the time of the employees.
How do you collect your money and is there a time limit on collecting this money

You can hire someone to perform a background check and skip trace for assets if you have a judgment. In Tennessee a judgement is good for ten years and can be renewed by motion. If you discover assets, you can garnish wages, levy accounts, and personal property.

Yes. While mistakes in pay could lead to wage violations if they are not timely corrected, you still have an obligation to work your normal schedule if you're still employed with the company, and the company can discipline or terminate you for failing to do so.
Can you be prosecuted for something you did not know was wrong?

Yes... If charged with theft, etc., hire an attorney to represent you. Also be prepared to make bond. Do not talk about it, but you have already admitted it.
I currently work with a company and applied for a promotional move. The pay scale was included in the job description. After interviewing, I am told they are going to offer me the position but they are lowering the pay scale.
Is this legal?

It appears that the contract will be breached by your working in an ER. Hire an attorney to read the contract and listen to the prospective new jobs. You may get sued in any event and have an attorney ready to go.

The SOL for such civil rights/GTLA actions has been extended a little in TN. You did not state the date the prosecution was dismissed. If you want to pursue this, you will need to get in gear fast, and the SOL may have already run. If indicted, most Courts find probable cause for the arrest.

Unless you aren’t getting health insurance at all, you probably should address the specific benefits at issue with your health insurance company.

If the creditor issues a garnishment against the payor, then that is probably going to be a successful garnishment against all monies owed you.

You will need an attorney to sue for breach of contract, etc. Serving the defendant is required and you will have to put on proof. You could file in General Sessions yourself, but I recommend an attorney.
