Questions on Employment

It wasn't just one incident that caused this. It was numerous incidents over the course of more than six months. I received numerous brutal comments about my obesity where I’m not moving fast enough because I’m fat. That I should cut my penis off because I speak to female co-worker. Demanding to tell me how I should eat by telling me I should only eat once and starve lunch and dinner. I should quit immediately and goto military. This person looks every opportunity to fire me. He can’t fire me without a cause so he’s been making that comment until I couldn’t tolerate it anymore. I just want to sue him not the company. Is it possible ? Am I in the ground for suing this person?

Concerns are that while applying for a new job ; the former employer will have a negative opinion and very well may even make false statements for a black balling affect against being hired.

I understand there are job positions where you just can't be getting a break and are required to work up to 12 hours without as much as sitting down. But now it feels like if at a regular job I would be getting 2 paid breaks and if I'm working through them then I should be paid for that 10 min break I worked through. Doesn't seem like much but 2 breaks a day times 6 years is a few thousand dollars

I asked 4 manager and another employee walked over and started arguing then smacked me in my face from behind the counter

I was denied a request to work remotely from another state and was let go immediately without the company assessing my situation properly. Was with the company for 20 years and temporarily approved to work remotely until May 2023, due to medical reasons. A family situation took me out of state and manager was not given details just took vacation in place of exhausted fmla time. Was unsure of my return so notified manager to see if continued remote work was possible. Was not aware request would lead to termination nor was I given other options to possibly avoid being termed. Based on this, I'm not sure if I have a bases to appeal and win my unemployment case. Please advise, thank you.

My Job overpaid me for sick time. What happened was I had to file a paid family leave claim(for job protection) and while I was waiting on that to be approved my job paid me I asked my job & they said they had to pay me. When I submitted the claim I told the insurance carrier not to pay me because my job already paid me anyways the claim is finally approved and they pay me. My job then says I need to pay them back months later I’m not denying that the thing is they’re only supposed to take out 12.5% of my paychecks but they’re deducting so much more to the point where I’m making less than minimum wage I told them about this and asked for it to be corrected they just keep saying well look into it it’s gotten to the point where I can barely feed my family and I’m unable to pay bills I might lose my house and they just keep over deducting my checks is there anything I can due? This is causing me so much stress and anxiety that I haven’t even been able to focus on work or anything how can I stop this or get it corrected

I work for a major corporation as HR, tenure of 10 years. I was informed on April 21st that I was being moved into a new role. I was informed that I no longer geographically align with my position in my company. The job description I was provided requires 30% multistate/multiregion travel - this is not possible for my life. When I inquired about this I was told travel 'probably wouldn't be needed' but this would not be guaranteed in writing. When I inquired if severance was an option, I was told no. While not a federal requirement this is the precedent at my company when a job is reassigned. I have never seen anyone be put into a new position without the option to decline for severance. Since then I scrambled and applied for a new role at a new company and have tendered my resignation, I did not want to do the job I was being placed into and am unable to travel due to having a disabled child, which my management is aware of. I'm wondering if I have a case for a lawsuit due to being denied severance, due to company precedent, and being forced to take a job with a steep travel requirement they know I could not complete - possibly constructive discharge.

Have a manager at work who listens to employees conversations by using the security cameras that have audio.

My employer wanted documentation from my doctor saying that I have to use the bathroom frequently due to my medical issue. I provided it. However I still have to ask a lead or a supervisor to use the bathroom. Even though they are not always available.

An employer discriminated against an employee which caused the employee to lose wages and benefits. The employer realized that they did wrong and paid the employee back pay. Does that mean the employee can't sue if he accepts the back pay?

I was shopping at a retailer and was accused of not checking out at self check, which I did. The manager audited my cart and found that I had paid for everything. 3 employees jumped out and harassed me as I was leaving the store and accused me of such. As, they took pictures of me while I was shopping.

This summer, I will be volunteering as a performer in a local art show. I volunteered last year and the woman backstage in charge of making sure people were behaving (I don't know her title) who I would consider my "boss" was always yelling at us left and right. I feel like it's worth mentioning we're teenagers who are under 18, so this involves minors, as well. I will be doing it again this summer and I was wondering if it would be considered wrongful termination if the admin were to kick me out if I stood up to her. I hope that made sense!

I don't know how to honestly file for unemployment with the options the state of Florida gives me for the reason I was fired. I don't agree with it, obviously. How do I file without lying? None of the reasons are the reason I was fired, the real one. There is an "other", but it leads to three choices, of which none apply, and then just leads you back to the previous list of reasons. A. How do you file for unemployment when you know the reason you were fired was false? B. How long does my previous employer have to send me information regarding my last pay stub, health insurance, 401K etc? I have gotten nothing. I got a direct deposit with an amount that I don't even know the details of. C. I need an attorney in Florida who can help me sort through the last several years and be ready for a fight with my previous employer, a firm with the capital reserves and resources to withstand that fight, one that is kind.

My fiance is 3 months pregnant and she has severe morning sickness. She was recently admitted to a woman's hospital near me and she's in a really bad spot. Her family can't visit her, and I'm the only one who has the ability to since we live together. This is the worst I've ever seen her at and I need to know if I can take a couple days off to stay with her and help her feel a little better. I work at a pricechopper location and I have only been here for 3 to 4 weeks so far. I have no probationary period either.

Is the word hostile work environment and harassment the same thing in NY?

If an employer singles out an employee because of their disability, can that be considered a hostile work environment?

Is disability discrimination and failure to accommodate the same charge or is it different? If so, what's the difference?

If an employer have a history of discrimination from multiple eeoc charges, can this be used just to show that the company have a history of discriminating against their employees?

I got a call from one of the managers of my workplace i am a part-time associate. I previously kept my availability closed on the weekends to help my family out since the kids are out and they need help with taking care of them. The manager called me and told me if i am able to open my availabilty and if not to resign from there.

I applied for a job. In the on line job posting, a sign on bonus was offered. I applied on the company website and saw the sign on bonus offering clearly stated in the same amount. I applied and interviewed in person. I mentioned the bonus and the hiring manager confirmed. I was offered the position and received an offer letter from HR that didn’t state the bonus. I emailed the HR person and she called saying she didn’t know about it and the job had already been taken off the website. I find no trace of this job on indeed or anywhere. The bonus is $2500 and was a strong incentive. In fact, I had another offer in writing I turned down to accept the one with the bonus. What do I do?

I was a delivery driver (for 2+years) (non cdl) for Walmart/Spark (walmarts delivery company) On April 17,2023 I was blatantly lied on by a regular worker who packs the orders and she’s been jealous of me and lying on me for atleast a week and cancelling my orders for literally no reason. And when I went to her managers about it she lies and says I was in an authorized area where they make the orders which never happened and they don’t have any video tape concerning that fact but it was reported anyway. My contract states I’m supposed to have an arbitration and I’ve literally asked for this in 30 different emails in a month and a half and one person told me to get a lawyer to contact their legal department. I got fired bc they lied and they are not abiding by their arbitration clause so I can explain the situation that I actually had reported to them TWICE prior to being fired and reports made.! I told them I was being harassed by this Walmart and this person .

My employer keeps denying my accommodation request. I've provided medical documentation as they have requested and they keep finding various reasons to deny the request. I unfortunately have to keep working and suffer or go home because of it. Can this be considered hostile work environment as well?

I may not prove that the reason is related to a protected class. But I can prove the pip is totally unfair and motivated. There supposed to be weekly feedback. But the manager takes vacation.

I work for an internet provider. Some of these folks are very intelligent, and can hack into anything from what I've heard. One of them broke into my personal computer or my network, after business hours (because my personal computer is never connected to the network at the same time) and took some information which would embarrass some people and added it to my work computer. This was done very low key and meant to embarrass me, but it did not. It made very angry. What type of evidence do I need to prove this. I'm not into suing my employer, but I am into proving theyve done it and holding someone responsible. I do have an idea of who it was.

The store manger was not paying me for my time. She would have a non employee in employee area and try to talk to me.I feared for my life because I did not know the man. The store manger threaten me by saying if she have to pull out Susie the gun she keeps in the store on her. She fired me because I asked for her supervisor number. I started work on the 12 and family dollar did not pay me for four days. I had a phone meeting with the store manger and her boss and I have the conversation recorded. The manger kept saying my register was short when it was not. I'm fearing for my life and its causing me distress. The store manger take time that I work and say I did not work the hours.

I have a 2 year exclusive contract with a reputable model agency. However I was thinking of terminating it. In the contract there is a clause saying that if the artist does not obtain employment or a bona fide offer for 5 consecutive months from a reputable client, the contract can be terminated by either party. I am 4 months in, and I'm wondering whether I could easily terminate the contract if I get no employment in the next month? I did have a job on hold from a reputable client one month ago, but eventually the client preferred to go with another model and didn't get the job, so I'm not sure if this counts as bona fide offer. Thank you.

I am an independent contractor that gets hired by contractors to do jobs. I have a contractor that owes me 2 jobs and he basically fired me from the job sites. He hasn’t paid me and says he won’t pay me and I can take him to court if I want to. I never signed a contract with him, it was more of a word of mouth but now he’s backing out. Between both jobs he easily owes more than 15k. What can I do?

bounced seven checks in a row about 20 years ago plead no solo condende.

Was just off work and the headlight blew that day on my way to work I had been off maybe 20 minutes was driving home when I got stop for the headlight out I pulled off the road into a parking lot I was in the car alone he approached the passenger side of the car and I cracked the window the first words out of his mouth is I smell pot and that gives me proper cause to do a search I had been at work for an 9 hour shift and hadn't smoked any at all

Condensed version of the entire situation: I was targeted and selected for a WRITTEN WARNING, while EVERYONE ELSE on the SAME DAY received a friendly "verbal reminder", regarding a common practice among all of us. Obviously being targeted as the sole employee to receive a written warning, I was very upset. My being upset resulted in an assignment of INSUBORDINATION, and subsequent TERMINATION. 1) This after 4 MONTHS of the company FAILING to honor the Wage Adjustment/Pay Raise form I SIGNED and me asking about it frequently. 2) This after MULTIPLE instances of not being paid for SUBMITTED incidents that resulted in overtime. 3) This after repeatedly reporting unsafe work conditions. 4) This after reporting repeated other employees ALWAYS being grossly late, affecting performance and operations.
