Anyone can sue anyone. This would be a small claims issue. But probably not worth your time. Just try and work it out with him.

You can only collect if you are an employee. If you are a 1099 that means you are an independent contractor not an employee so NO you can't collect.

I agree with the previous attorney answer. You should be all set unless you were misclassified. Best of luck.

You may or may not have a claim. Check with an attorney in your state. You can find one in AVVO under the FIND A LAWYER tab. Good luck.

If you are under a union contract check with them. Otherwise yes as you are an employee at will....................

Yes it is permissible and do you want to be seen in a bad light by complaining about this.....................

That is up to the unemployment office. Check with them...................................................................

Yes. See the previous attorney answer...............................................................................................

Would need more information which an attorney in here doesn't have. Take your agreement or consult with an attorney in your state. Good luck.

In general one comment isn't going to be a lawsuit. You could also not attend that church. Check with a lawyer in your state. Best of luck.
