I live within the US and am in the process of adjustment of status

How to enforce or compel the texas subpoena that was served according to § 24-13-112 . Should I file compel in TX or GA?
Should I motion to compel in GA along woth motion to transfer to texas court? Bcoz case is pending in Texas court.
If the case is pending in Texas, then presumably there's no case in Georgia in which to file a motion to compel.
At present, the answer appears to be yes.
How can I change an "at-will" contract with my employer
to give me more job security if there are any disciplinary actions brought upon me?
Being employed at-will means that you or your employer can terminate the employment relationship for no reason or for any reason, albeit a legal one. However, in order to obtain an employment contract, that is likely something you would have to request from the employer, given that both sides would... Read more »
I thought it was 7 years but that was in 2013 and I just applied for a job (2021) and it came out on my record and I was not accepted. Is the 7years after found guilty date or after the 5 years probation was completed?
Criminal records never expire. If the employer does a criminal background check then it will show up forever. The seven-year rule is about CONSUMER records so that is stuff like your credit report and liens. Some consumer reports also include criminal information, so those might only show 7... Read more »
I was questioned by HHS at our facility there investigating a report, anonymously made of neglect. I confirmed and reported other things that I knew about.
I took a lunch break and was suspended when I returned. Terminated 3 days later
They had the DRP in my suspension letter.... Read more »
Their actions, as you describe them are odious. Yes, they are bound by the written agreement which, as you say (I believe) provides for arbitration. In addition, there may be legal impropriety in their obtaining knowledge of the HHS report.
If you like I can review the agreement for... Read more »
They never did. Told me to go home send them copy of my id and ss# via Facebook messager. I did. Never hear back. I call get run a round. Says management is busy. Not in. Will call me later. 5 days now. Still no reply. What can i do?
Unfortunately, Texas is an at-will employment state. That means they can hire and subsequently fire you at will. No reason needs to be given. If you worked, they do need to pay you for your work. If you feel like you have been discriminated against in any way, contact an employment law... Read more »

Additional information is necessary to analyze your situation.

Can the employer deduct from your paycheck if you leave the company after certain days of working ?
While this situation sounds unfair, employers are generally only required to pay you at least your state's minimum wage per hour for each hour you worked. Thus, as long as the deduction for these tests does not bring the total average amount of money you earned per hour below your state's... Read more »
I understand I am bound by the agreement for any dispute or controversy arising between the time I signed it and the time I revoke it. I'm an at-will employee, so I also understand that my employer may take action up to and including termination if I successfully revoke it. However, I... Read more »
A party to a contract generally cannot unilaterally revoke the contract. You can ask your employer to release you from the arbitration clause of the current agreement (and you will likely need to obtain a separate document, signed by both parties, agreeing to this) but your employer need not agree...

I've been routinely facing backlash and scrutiny for trying to enforce the temporary membership rules. I feel like I'll lose my job if I make people pay for them.
Your boss should back you up on requiring the membership because if you are caught selling to non-members then the entire club's permit could be suspended for 60 days for operating as an "open saloon."
Also, helping someone violate the private club rules is a crime under... Read more »

You should reach out... Read more »
School Principal laid off due to Covid. No reasonable assurance given to return to job.
Whether you are entitled to it is one question, but I would recommend applying regardless. If you have specific questions about unemployment, I would reach out to an unemployment law attorney in your state.
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 »
Generally, the answer to this question is yes. However, there are two exceptions to this general rule.

Whether you have a claim depends on the language in your employment contract. Did the contract guarantee you a certain rate of pay through July 2021, or did the contract allow the employer to change your compensation in its discretion? You should contact an employment attorney in your area to seek... Read more »

They have an open ended non compete and non solicitation for 1 year w.r.t the parent company (not the division employing me). The offer says that its based on Laws of Wisconsin and USA.
Hello, I am not sure what your question is. If you are wondering who to have look over your non-compete, I would reach out to an employment law attorney in Wisconsin because that is the the state which governs the agreement.
The same person who has repeatedly harassed me does the same to other employees. Some of the employees have left the company and others are still employed there. HR and Management are aware of this Persons bad behavior and does nothing to stop it.
Unless the harassment is based on your status in a protected class (i.e., gender, race, ethnicity, disability, etc.), there is no legal recourse for your termination. If you were subjected to harassment based on your status in a protected class, and you were terminated after complaining to HR... Read more »
