We have a lease that expires May 31, 2008. Due to financial situations, we are considering breaking it. We have a $375 dollar concession each month which the lease states we have to pay back if we break our lease, plus 60 days notice, meaning 2 more months or rent. Our consession total is $2625.00 as of today. So to break it today, we would have to pay $4575.00. Are there any ways around this? Are there any legal reasons that you can break a lease?

and has filed the proper paperwork is it customary for the company they work for to call them not to say " Come back to work" word for word but to subtly imply that there are others who need time off too and they just wanted to check on you to make scheduling arrangements? I have had to extend my leave twice and will go back on Thursday pending an ok from the doctor on Tuesday.

my boss of seven years told me he was making me take a four week leave because in three weeks and four days my wife was having brain surgery and he thought i would not be there for his company at that time. the next day he sent me a letter saying he was sorry but they were letting me go and he wished me the best in my future. This meant he knew my wife couldn't have the surgery and he knew that she cancelled it the day he put me on leave. now we stand to lose our home and car and health car for us it out we can't even afford medications now. Is all this even legal for him to do to me i have never had a write up or warning ever? And i worked for a small video store chain in the far corner of Arkansas. Take 2 Video is not a difficult job to do but Mike, my exboss, refused to even discuss with me what was happening instead he ran away and said he wasn't ready to talk to me but he would call me the next day well seven days later and i guess he wants to remain that kind of a person.

My girlfriend often works 45-60 hrs/week. But she doesn't get the "time and a half", that I thought was a law of some sort. Instead, after 40 hrs, her boss pays her at a much lower rate for those extra hrs. She doesn't complain, but I tell her she should, with my thinking it's a law. Am I wrong or is employer in the right?

I'm an international student and I was recently convicted of a misdemeanor.

I've been trying to find my criminal record in various background check sites but I can't find my name. I think because I don't have a SSN.
How will a company do a background check for me?

I am trying to write a letter of grievence about my manager, and have a meeting with the owners of the company that I work for.

I have specific instances of lack of knowledge of job skills. Personal retalation and discussing poor performances with co workers, are also some the things that I need to write about.
Poor work ethic, and personal sexual innuendo are also involved. Passive aggressive management skills and zeroing in on one specific employee at a time, along with favortism are also some of the complaints of the staff.
We have a very hostile work enviroment, coupled with disassociation in the workplace.

How should I start?
Should I list specific instances that I am personally aware of, even though it includes my co workers, and not always myself?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

A year ago a person in my home town told me that if I built a turn key system for lead generation, that we could pull in 400 leads a month, and roughly make at least $2,500 a month if not more. I spent 9 months building a turn key system, fixing every bug asked to fix, and implementing every feature asked to implement. 7 months ago momentum started to slow, almost coming to a halt.

I have attempted to correspond with this person via phone & e-mail, and no go. He is a 9 year salesman for one of the biggest timeshare companies in North America. The potential monies I'm going to lose is in the hundreds of thousands, as well as I have $50k of my own time & money invested here.

Do I have any legal rights with 9 months worth of e-mail, and no real contract? I would love to at least get my $50k after legal fees but I'd also like to be compensated for all the unnecessary stress this has caused over the last year. Perhaps even sue for the financial loss over time.

Thanks,

Eri

Please be advised that I am not attempting to pull off this scam, a friend was "taken" and wants to know if what transpired was illegal.

Basically she answered a data entry/application processor ad on Craigslist. The person contacted her back and asked her to pay a measly $7 to get started...this was the "training" fee. So my friend paid the $7 on paypal and received information on how to send out the same scam to other people...no data entry, just taking peoples money....
The problem is the ad was for a "Application Processor" which is what she would be doing (she's NOT), processing others applications for the same $7 fee...to train them to do the same thing....so the ad wasn't really lying.
So is this legal? Please give me legit advice, not just what you assume to be true or untrue. If you could provide legal information or websites that deal with this kind of scam that would be appreciated.

I know it's only $7, but she wants it back on principal!

Thanks

There is no reason besides the fact they are of a different decent..is there anyway we can file a discrimantion law suit..it is not fair..we have to work our butts off ten times harder..this is all causing me health problems.Since I've worked there, my blood pressure has gone up, I have depression, and my asthma has gotten worse...Please help me..or us we would like to be treated fairly!!

So right now my aunt is in quite a difficult situation. Her husband took out a 100k loan a few years ago claiming that it would be spent to fund his children's college tuitions, but now it's all gone and he can't even pay for his son's community college classes. He's also in huge financial trouble right now... One of his cars was recently towed away at night because he had failed to make the payments for the past 4 months, and now he can't even pay his $20 phone bill. My aunt has a feeling that he gambled it all away, but she has no proof of this. So is there a legal way she can find out how he spent the money? Like can she hire some kind of accounting investigator to see where it all went?

One of my co-workers received a write up she doesn't agree with and she refused to sign it. HR told her she is required to sign it and if she doesn't she would be immediately terminated. In all my years of working I have NEVER heard such a thing. Please, if possible provide a website stating the fact if at all possible . I live in Illinois
