I work with clients (children with disabilties). I only get paid for the time I spend with clients, not for traveling or doing any paperwork.

About a week ago my employer asked me to redo 6 weeks worth of my paperwork, which I do not get paid for. I followed the directions that I was given, but my supervisor wants me to rewrite everything with some little changes (which were not in my original directions).

I have since given them my 2 weeks notice of leaving, although I may end up leaving earlier.

I do not want to waste about two hours redoing all my work because my supervisor did not give me any samples or her complete directions.

Can my employer withhold some of my pay if I do not redo my paperwork?
Can I be penalized for leaving early (tomorrow), even though my 2 weeks notice isn't up until next week?

I don't plan on ever listing this job on a resume because I held it for less than two months and because I do not trust that they would give me a good reference.

I have worked for an organization more than twenty years.
I would like to know how to respond in writing to not getting a promotion
for which I believe I was qualified.
Please don't answer if you want to insult me?
Not all employers are fair and if that is your position don't bother to answer.
The job I hold is significant and I appreciate it.
My goal is not to critic my employer. If you don't have the ability to answer in a sensitive v and helpful manner don't answer.
This is not a "sour grapes"

example: I work for a large company in a house for disabled individuals and we get paid for our hour lunch which means that we can not leave the house unless with a consumer or for other errends. Just recentely it was brought to our attention that we were not susposed to be eating fast food weather it be bringing it with us on shift or going to get it or ordering it beacuse it is "Not fair to the consumers and it is like telling them that their food is not good enough when we eat fast food around them". ALSO, we do not even have a seperate place in the home where we can even go to eat our food we have to eat in their kitchen (which is really not a problem)

I have been working at my current job for 10 month now and have been transfered to another dept. I have just been made aware of online courses and tests that are required for me to be in my new position. They gave me a very short period of time to complete these courses and when their requirements were not met they asked me to either resign or be terminated. I also found out that these courses were supposed to have been done before I ever started the new position. I don't think they have been fair to me and are maybe even discriminating against me for some reason?

So I pretty much know I am going to be fired tomorrow. I had some issues with a sick child lately and missed some work. They wrote me up on it in the past and I had to miss again due to that reason. I have noone else to watch him when he is too ill for daycare. Anyway I came to work today ( i missed Friday) and the boss told me "we will be having a meeting about this". That was it. So all day I waited...nothing. Well policy is that HR is called from another building and they come in for it too. The HR lady was gone today. So tomorrow I know it is coming someone told me they overheard it Friday. (nice I know) so what would you do? I feel humiliated to go in tomorrow just to hit the door...but I want to say my piece too. What would you do? Go in to be fired basically or call in and say I quit see ya? Can you get unemployment for absenteeism if you have a sick child? HELP shift starts at 7 am!!!!! :(

I have had attendance issues in the past for a medical problem on my job. I got a write up for it a while ago. My child was very ill and I had to miss another day last Friday. I got to work today and they said "we have to have a meeting about this" then no one came to call me? Then someone told me that HR comes from district when they fire and they probably are coming tomorrow. My trusted coworker told me when I called in the boss said out loud to some other staff "This is it for her!!" as if to indicate a firing. My question is was it legal for her to disclose that info in her statement to staff she made? And can you be fired a day after you came back to work? This is important real answers only. I plan to use the info in case I am fired tomorrow. Thank you I live in WI.

I recently left my employment and I have to pay them back for some courses that I took over the summer. They want to take my last paycheck after taxes has been deducted from it and apply towards the amount I owe for the tuition. I live in the state of New York and my brother-in-law told me that what they are doing might be considered "theft" since they can deduct taxes from that last paycheck and take it from me. He said if they are going to take taxes then possibly to legal reasons they are obliged to hand that last paycheck to me. Does anyone know about this? If this is true, then I can file a complaint with the state's board of labor.

This question is strictly for you: I have never fully understood your concern about a candidate's unemployment period(s). I've had to explain to a few employers that I was taking care of my terminally ill mother and then had to clean out our old house. I suppose if a person has more than a few months between jobs it can cause concern. But what are you so concerned about gaps in someone's employment? If a person is before you, wearing a suit and tie and is enthusiastic about the job, what difference does a gap or two in their employment matter?

I work for a company that told me paydays were every other Friday. Over the last few months, I have been told that it's actually Saturday (the date on the check is always Friday's date) or been told that I could have my check on Friday but couldn't cash it until after 3pm. The reasons have varied...the owner is out of town and forgot to make a deposit, the GM's mother is dying so she can't deliver the checks, the owner deposited money Friday morning and it won't clear til after 3pm, etc, etc, etc.
It all sounds like bull, or at least like this store owner has no clue how to run a business.
Is this legal? If not, who do I report him to? I am tired of having to put my bills on hold until he decides to cover the pay I earned.

about a month ago, a coworker went to HR with a bogus story that I and another coworker spoke innapropriately around her, her claim was false, I refused to sign the harrasment write up because it was false. since then she has been fired for lying which proved even more that we were innocent of her claim, still on wednsday, me and this other individual were also fired because of tardiness, without the bogus harrasment charge this would have just been our first write up, but since the charge still stood, the company decided to let us go, I feel that I was wrongfully let go and am being advized by other coworkers that I should pursue legal action, can anyone tell me if I have a case, or can anyone tell me where I can go or who I can talk to to find out.

Recently I was disqualified for unemployment benefits in CA cause I plan to return to school. Ok fine by me I guess. Now I found out 2 weeks later that my school schedule would be at night time. I probably could look for a job now. Do I need to reapply again and change my eligibility? Or would it be a better idea to just say that I won't be going to school at all? Do they see that on my record that I got denied if I do reapply again with a different reason? I really want this course but cannot afford it without financial help. Any help would be greatly appreciated =)

someone i know has been sacked from their job, after being there for just 3 months. he didnt have a signed contract. i know this guy and know that he blagged his way into job and then failed miserably to keep up to his expectations. he was slow and lazy and was found out bragging to another firm that he was the manager. he also has taken off numerous days sick and not phoning in to inform the manager.
the manager who is a very easy going guy had had enough and rung him to find out where he was and told him its not working out and he shud look for another job.
now manager is worried that the guy may kick up. its only a small firm and couldnt take a tribunal.
i got some advice for him and was told that as he had only been employed for 3 months he doesnt have full rights of someone employed a year. is that true anyone
