Law & Legal

This individual is very disruptive and intimidating to other staff. What is the legal way to do this, I thought it was a case of 3 written warnings and that's it. I'm in Scotland could someone please clarify matter for me ?

I gave my two week notice at work, and then my employer let me work out all of it but the last 4 days, are they obligated by law to pay me for the last 4 days or only the actual time worked?

Thanks (I live in VA) if it helps at all.

I've been out of work almost 4 years taking care of my kids and now I'm planning on going back to work. Is there a way to say I've been a full time mom on my resume so companies realize what I've been doing since my last job? I don't know what the acceptable standard is for this kind of lapse in work.

My payday is always every Friday for the week before, and my company, as big as it is, does not offer direct deposit. There was a mixup last week that was caught on Wednesday(9/12). The error was sent to payroll and my check was to be overnighted.
Tomorrow (Wednesday 9/19) will be day 5 with no paycheck and they cant say if it will be there then too (more mix ups). I have a truck payment that was due LAST friday(9/14) and although they are holding off on reposessing my vehicle, thank God, they are expecting late fees.
How long can the company go without giving me my check, and can I make them responsible for the late fees? I cant afford late fees, which is why I ALWAYS pay on time and this isnt my fault!

I work at a new facility, and I was hired for a specific job which requires four years of college. In the healthcare field. And after I had been working at this facility for a month, they approached me and told me I had to take my own car and drive to other facilities to drop off specimens. The rumor was that anyone refusing would be fired. We complained because our car insurance would not cover us if we crashed (and this is during the over-night hours when you're tired, and there are drunks on the road, in a high crime city area). So now they gave us a company van and told us it would only be temporary that we would have to do this. But once again the story has changed and they are not hiring full time curriers or hiring on site staff to examine the speimens instead of taking them to other facilities.
My issue being that the bad weather months are approaching, and if there is a storm or icy roads, and I refuse to take these runs, can they fire me? i feel like i'm being used.

I have been offered a job, but I won't be paid for a month, do I stop claiming JSA WHEN i'm paid or when I start work?
It seems more logical to do it when I get paid in a month but the law is not always logical, any advice here?

I have a paralegal degree and I'm currently working for a small law firm. We've been doing a lot of health care work and lately I've considered becoming a nurse paralegal...but I think I'm at a disadvantage? All of the nurse paralegal training programs and job openings I've researched are for RNs with years of clinical experience. It seems Iike I'd have to quit my paralegal job, go to nursing school, then work as a nurse for years before I'd qualify for any of these programs.
I'm wondering about going to nursing school and then marketing myself as a paralegal with an RN degree, rather than a nurse with 6 months of paralegal training.
I have no desire to work in a clinical setting for years, but I want the education to make informed medical decisions in a legal background.
Whatcha think?

PS--no hate mail please: my sister, brother-in-law, and two aunts are nurses. I have nothing against nurses, it just isn't my calling.

Does it make much of a difference if you get fired or quit before you get fired? Its a year and 8 months later and I've had 2 jobs since then, one I just didnt like and the other was seasonal. Are they going to dig deep in all the jobs I've had? I still to this day have nightmares about what I did.

I was offered a position after a phone interview and a follow up second interview with two corporate managers. I disclosed a misdemeanor charge that may show up on a background check. I was subsequently offered an upper management position and I gave my two weeks notice. Now on the eve of my first day I receive a phone call from HR saying the job is not mine. Some questions about my background check. I disclosed the misdemeanor and was assured by the corporate manager that if the misdemeanor matches the background check. "no problem". Now I sit, unemployed waiting for them. I gave details of the offense and was reassured that they did not have a problem. What can I do legally? This is important to all those out there pondering whether to disclose a transgression. The background check confirmed what I had disclosed and now the reneged on their offer.

I blame myself and society for this, and here are the stats: 28 years old, mediocre law school GPA, no internship/clerkship offers, licensed to practice law in an area with too many lawyers (I suppose this is true everywhere). I have been working for a legal temporary agency for the last two years and nobody seems to want to hire me. I find it hard to market to potential employers. People have advised me to get out of there, which is what I have been trying to do!

I would really like to work in public service, such as county attorney, but all the offices keep saying no. I am starting to believe that I am not worthy of anything except carrying mail-my previous career before law school. I was very good at it but was underpaid and underappreciated. Still, it seems like staying there would have been the wiser choice than spending time and money in school for a profession that probably won't ever receive me beyond the bar passage.

Hi
I have been at my current job for about five years. I was supposed to be promoted in January. however no I am barely hanging on with a thread and I am close to being fired. My boss confronted me with a list of issues, most of which were false. There are a few that I am guilty of, but I made these mistakes because I was not given appropriate information, and there was no way I could know!!!I was also reprimanded violating policies that do not exist. I have evidence to prove that they are lying..a witness and written documentation. My witness was forbidden by my boss to ever speak to me. If she does she will face reprocussions. I am being accused of things that I didn't do and company polcies seemed to be being invented. I am really in trouble! I think that the company is in finacial difficulty and they can afford to pay be. My witness has access to all information and will attest that I am being falsely accused. WHAT do I do? WHAT can I do...who can help me. Help

This is long, and complicated. Please read, as I am looking for the best advice possible.

At the end of April, I received the official offer letter from a company, and I accepted it at beginning of June. I graduated from college, and officially started September 4th.

The biggest factor when making the decision was the location--the company is in a smaller town about 50 miles out of the city. I could've chosen to live in the suburbs a little closer to the town, however, the company's offer letter included a company car--which meant if I was willing to drive 45 minutes each way and pay for the gas (total 100 miles everyday), I would be able to live in the city and commute without adding miles to my personal car.

I keep hearing that it is so hard to get a good job and even harder when you have something like this hanging over your head. I am 34, working on my bachelors, and have changed my whole life around. I just want to get a second chance at a successful, good life. Sometimes I get scared I will spend all this effort for nothing if no one will hire me.

I work for a O.T.B in new york.It is a politically driven job.Depending on what party is the majority in the county thats who runs otb.About two years ago the the tables turned and power changed and NOBODY got a raise.They also took away overtime,if you work on a holiday there is no time and a half and not even a cost of living raise.Also im not forced to do political work its but its looked down upon if i dont and the hopes of a merit raise goes out the door.So no matter what i do for otb doesnt count its what i do politcally that does .Being connected to someone political helps your sallary as well, but good luck if your not.The scale of pay is either fantastic or not guess what side im on?Is this legal to operate a company like this?If i want to complain,i have no union or a relative in politics to protect me and they would fire me just like that.
