You should post this question in the criminal defense section as this has nothing to do with employment. Good luck.

The first issue you will have is proving your case. Do you have any proof other than your word saying this happened? If you do contact a lawyer ...

Yes they can. You can always find a new job if you wish.......................................................................

You can hire a lawyer in your state and see if the lawyer thinks you have a case. You can find one in the attorney tab on this site.

You should ask your employer to pay for a lawyer for you to get advice on this sort of thing. And you should get extra money for using your house...

You can quit and find a new job but I don't see a lawsuit as a result of what they are doing. Best of luck to you.

That would be up to the unemployment office but generally No would be the answer. Quitting means you still have the job and left it.

As the attorney above states, you are only protected from discrimination at work nothing more. Good luck.

It does sound shady. It may or may not be legitimate. You can ask your boss about it first, if you don't like the answer report to DOL.

You can find a lawyer in your state under the lawyer tab and then by state. Check for a employment lawyer.
