I have never received a copy of my employee agreement, they are saying that I cannot write a review based on the severance agreement having a "nondispargement" clause. The review is anonymous and is NOT defamtation.
Disparagement and defamation are not the same thing. You could post something anonymously, without defaming the company, but your comment could still be disparaging. If you signed a severance agreement containing a non-disparagement clause, then wrote an online disparaging review, the company... Read more »

This does not sound like an employment law-related matter. You should contact an attorney in your area who practices workers' compensation law to discuss your options.
I am paid hourly and required to complete a certain number of assignments each day. I don't take a lunch just to finish the assignments and the company does not allow overtime.
Your employer is not required to allow or offer break time, so having to work through lunch is not, in and of itself, unlawful. However, since you are paid hourly, you must be paid overtime at a rate of one-and-one-half times your regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. If... Read more »

I am an independent contractor.My life line during the pandemic depends on gig worker assistance. A company fraudulently re-characterized me as a w-2 employee after I terminated all business relationship with them due to consistent... Read more »
I don't know what claims you could make yourself, but you could report the situation to the IRS. If they claim you were a W-2 employee, they should have been paying payroll withholding, and weren't. That can result in a 100% penalty against the company, and against anyone who had... Read more »

It doesn't sound like you are though because you are going to the office every day. More information is needed about what you are actually... Read more »
