I was recently fired from my job at an Indiana prison for inappropriate and unprofessional behavior after 3 occasions of someone making false accusations against me. The complaints were not substantiated and I was never disciplined or given the chance to plead my innoscense. I never signed any type of report nor did I know what the circumstances were until I was fired. All complaints were grossly untrue and I have coworkers that would back me up. I am applying for unemployment benefits and I am also considering consulting an attorney. I am a nurse and actually work for the contract company that the Indiana prisons use. Custody was the one making all the false accusations.

2 part question:

1) My manager told me that by law in California, part-time workers are allowed 1,000 hours to work. I exceeded 1,000 and was told the rest would be counted towards my bonus. Otherwise, it would affect my employer's pension plan.

I looked at my pay check and noticed that they still took off taxes. I was wondering what the correct procedure is for my situation. Should the exceeded number of hours be counted as "overtime" pay?

2) When does overtime pay come into affect? I'm not sure if it only applies to full time workers.

For instance, I work 20 hours per week. If i were to exceed 20 hours in a given week, does overtime pay affect me?

I've decided that my goal in life is to become a life coach. I have an undergrad degree in psychology, and have been giving advice for as long as I can remember- to my younger siblings, my friends, my parents!, etc. I really do give great advice and I care! I don't know how to become a life coach without extensive further schooling, which I cannot afford. Does anyone know of a life coach who is looking for an assistant, paid intern, or protoge?
