More facts are needed to fully evaluate your situation. However, in certain circumstances, deductions from an employee's salary are permissible if the employee is absent from work for one full day or more full days.

I never get any days off but once a year. Even if I go run an errand I still have to answer phones. I want to know if this is legal and if... Read more »
I am sorry but you will need to speak with someone to give the factual details but this is not a forum that you should use. The best advise I can offer is to contact the Texas Workforce Commission, (TWC) the regulating agency for employers. Considering all the hours you work along with pay, if you... Read more »
20 year honorable Naval career?
No, sorry. I agree that your naval career should account for positive point but Texas is an at will employment state so it is very difficult to "make" an employer hire you.
We do serve alcohol but we know you must be 18. We serve ice cream and they would serve some or wipe down tables/sweep. It’s just on weekends for a few hours.
If the 11/12 year old is your child, they can work but the type of work is limited as are the hours. See below. As for alcohol, believe it or not, if a minor is within eyesight of parent or guardian they can actually drink but to serve such beverages I think they must be 21.

Can deputy be fired for non-compliance?
Thanks for your question. Texas is an "at will" employment state, meaning employees can be fired for any reason at all, as long as it is not for a Constitutionally protected right (i.e. race, religion...). As for requiring a deputy to purchase their own uniforms, yes, just as nurses must purchase... Read more »
Probably not but they will have to amend the return.
This is not "fair" but it does not violate the law unless it is a pretext (cover up) for unlawful discrimination or retaliation. Additional options may apply if you are covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Roll that account over to an IRA with a different custodian. The new custodian will help you get it rolled over. Fees might be higher but at least you will get access to your funds. Before you withdraw from it make sure you understand the tax implications.
If I understand your question correctly you are asking if the employer can deduct both the employee's share of payroll taxes and the employer's share of payroll taxes. No, the employer has to pay their share. The only taxes deducted from your paycheck should be the taxes you are responsible for... Read more »
Just want to see if any individual or entity has sued them for anything and what the nature of the lawsuit is. Is there a database online that I can use?
If you're looking in Texas, I suggest checking the county property records and county court records to see if there has been anything. Most of it is public information.

Yes I believe you should get paid for that if the employer has it in writing you will accrue vacation time and your employer should be penalized for not already paying you for that because it must pay your final pay w/i 6 days.

My first job is a school bus driving, the second job is a desk job. I tore my meniscus on my left leg.
Of course, but perhaps not in the way you may believe. If you are taken off work from both jobs the carrier must base your income benefits on your total earnings from both jobs. [Total wages (and benefits if stopped while off work) for the past 13 weeks divided by 13 to arrive at your average... Read more »

Hello, I would suggest having a Texas lawyer review your entire agreement. Non-competes in Texas are enforceable under certain circumstances. 50 miles seems like a huge area but I would need to see the whole agreement to really answer this question.
