I live in Ohio and signed a two year non-compete with my old employer. It has been a little over a year since I left there. Is there a way to break the non-compete early?

Some companies require that you allow them to give you a physical exam prior to offering employment. Do you feel it is a violation of your privacy? In addition they require a random drug test during your course of employment. And they will also do a background check! Is that invasive? Is it done for the safety of their work environment or simply to minimize other possible risks?

My employer just deducted 8 hours from my paycheck, and when asked about it, they said it was because they paid me erroneously for Christmas last year 2006 (aka "Holiday Pay"). It's now November 2007, and I'm wondering how long an employer has to "correct" this type of mistake.

My former employer refuses to do employment verifications or to give references.

Is that legal?

I heard the other day that nurses who work nights have won the right to be paid thier night enhancements whilst off sick. I work for social services on permenent nights and i'm paid my hourly rate plus £2.20 night working enhancement per hour. If we are off on sick leave we lose this £2.20, and also weekend enhancements, so if we are off sick on a weeknight we lose £2.20 per hour, saturday we lose £4.84 per hour sunday we lose £8 per hour. We are persuing this through our union, and I need some information on the award the nurses have won if it is true. It would be useful to present this to our employers and see if it has any effect on our cause! Many thanks for any help offered.

I was a nurse at a clinic for about 3 yrs from 1999-2002. The physician I worked for had a wife that called me at home one night and blabbed a bunch of their problems to me. It was very awkward and uncomfortable. Several months later, she accused me of having an "inappropriate" relationship with him which WAS NOT TRUE. I ended up getting fired for "insubordination" tho I never signed an incident report. I can't not put them on my resume' as it was a signifigant part of my employment with valueable skills. I found out from a potential employer that she had outright lied about me and my character, stating negligent nursing care, poor work ethic, etc. All damning charges in the healthcare field and they are not true. I was a very good employee there, loyal and hardworking. I have several other employers that give me great references but this one seems to be slandering me pretty viciously.Can she do this? What can I do to keep it from happening ?

Was sent home from work today, because "Co-workers were complaining of her cough and didnt want to get sick". They told her she couldnt return until the cough had dissipated. Question is: is this legal for the company to do this? Please give sources and i know we all have a tendency to want to be a smart a** , or be funny, but this is someone's job.

I'm an independent film-maker and am making a horror movie and want to know if you can use a movie title that's been already used before, but the movie is different then the one the people have already made using the title. Can I as long as I don't try and copyright it? Or as long as I have a differnent script? Or do I have to change the Name a little bit. The name I was going for was The Bloodshed, there have been a movie called Bloodshed, and The Blood Shed. Could I still use the name since it's a little different, since it doesn't have a space? I would still like to know if you can use it if it's already been takin. And if you came up with a movie title but there is a song with the same title can you still make your film with that title, and would I want to copyright it, and how do I copyright it? Or should I not copyright it? Please Help!!! Thanks!!!

I have been working for the same employer for about a year and a half now. Since I began working here, all he has done is made me feel small and unworthy. He insults my hair, my clothes, the fact that I don't wear make up. He even makes jokes about the the province where I grew up. I am absolutely fed up with all of his insults and how he thinks he is better than everyone else. Do you think this is verbal or emotional abuse? because sometimes it sure feels like it......

i was let go due to my "work production", thay also said complains were made but could not tell me what they were so i know what i needed to fix. Also 2 weeks prior to letting me go they told me there was no work for me where i wanted to be, they said if i wanted to look for a job that was totally understandable. Well the next day the manager came to me asking if i made a decision and i said yeah i will look for a new job but i could not leave til i found a new job, since i do have a young child. Well they went on and hired a person who took over where i wanted to work but i didnt say anything because she had a higher degree than me. Well i was doing everthing asked and busting my butt to get the stuff done and 2 weeks after they told me they "didnt need me" they let me go. I got unemployment out of it but it was fight, they looked at it as i did everything i was suppose to but still got fired. So where do i go from here a diff office wants to interview me?????

I have a friend looking for a job and is refused a paper application and in return being asked to go to a website to apply. He does not have easy access to the web and is therefore requesting a paper application. And he is not the only one. My neighbor is now complaining of the same thing.
Now, obviously I allow him to use my computer and phone as a job hunting source, but I think it bothers him. I understand the complaint as well, applying online is usually long and tedious with no call backs.

I know you have to go to law school after your get your undergrad degree, but i have a few questions.

- Do you have to be a lawyer first?
- How do you become a judge?
- How long is law school?
- How many hours a week does a judge work? I'm assuming its not a 9-5 job.

Any other information you can give me would be amazing.
Thanks!
