Sleezy employer asked the managment in this mornings meeting to forego this weeks paycheck because they supposedly are having a hard time coming up with all of payroll this week 5 day's before christmas and the week that i'm suppose to go out of town for my weeks paid vacation that I schedualed months ago.
I have no intentions of letting them keep hold on to this weeks paycheck for a few reasons.
1. I cannot NOT have it this weeks check, I've specifically set it up so this paycheck goes to my vacation. If I don't get it I can't go tonight.
2. I'm not letting them set a president in keeping my money when they have money management problems.

So what legal recourse do I have if they don't give it to me or if it bounces? Of course as soon as I get it in my hot little hand its going to get cashed, but what about next weeks paycheck what if I don't get my vacation check?Someone please advise on what can be done for protection till I locate a new employer?
What options do I have?

we hired this guy a year ago at our transmission shop. He was pretty bad about missing work/coming in late, etc until he got on our company health insurance (6 month waiting period) and then he just went crazy. I've checked and at no point in the last 6 months have I written him a full paycheck b/c he is constantly coming up with something that he has to go get painkillers for. We have major reason to believe he is a pill popper and he has asked other employees if they know where he can get drugs. He also never goes to the same doctor. He has missed work CONSTANTLY, but always brought dr notes.

He came in about 2 weeks ago with his arm in a sling thinkin he could actually work and draw a paycheck. Since this is a safety hazard to both him and our other employees, my owner sent him home and told him to come back when he had a dr's release on it, & not before.

Now he has applied for Mississippi unemployement saying leave of absence. yes, we made him take it. Is their anything

A friend's boss told everyone to get an unlimited texting plan on their personal phones since he would be sending texts to update them on information. Is this right?

Also, he is texting while employees are off the clock (they work hourly). Is this fair? When someone spoke up about this, they are now in jeopardy of losing their job.

We can find no laws to protect employees in this case. Phone numbers were given in case of an emergency and now abused!

I am currently in a position that I need to leave asap. I have been harrassed and disrespected since I first began over two years ago. I am set up with a staffing agency who is finding me a position to start immediately. I have come to peace with not giving notice (the state I work in is at-will). I worked at my current employer for almost a year, resigned and then came back and have been back for over a year. For whatever reason, the first time I was here, they let me use vacation time. I was here just under a year when I quit and I think it may have upset them that I used vacation time (even though it was all approved). Then, once I came back, for whatever reason, I had vacation time again. There was never anything formal written or said. I have never really quit without notice and am getting nervous about what this company might try. And I thought I heard the office manager say something like that, but there is nothing in the company manual.

My husband needs to go to law school! He made perfect 36 on ACT, 1410 on SAT, and is a certifiable MENSA genius. The problem? We cannot afford for him to go to school! He is 26, a restaurant general manager, and the main breadwinner of the home. Where can we go to find financial aid? All of the scholarships and stuff are for high school students, and we cannot afford loans right now (we have three preschoolers). Is there someone that can help? Somewhere we can go that will trade tuition costs for a contract of employment, anything will help! We are desperate. He has so much potential that is being wasted!

I was walking through a common area about three months ago and I saw a "Ran out of...." board in the kitchen. It listed a product and underneath it, it said "mexicans". I was offended and took it to the company's HR director and they said that the person had been dealt with. About three weeks ago, I witnessed a fight between our security person and a vendor. After separating them, I had asked the security person to give me his side of the event. He told me everything that happened but left out the part that he struck the person and I called him on it. I saw that he had struck the person and I wasn't going to lie about it, especially since the police were called. I told him that I would not alter the incident report. He then said, "Well, you're going to write whatever you want because you'll protect him (the vendor) because you're MEXICAN just like he is." I was shocked that this had happened a second time and reported him. He was fired. I applied for a different position.

I was employed by a local restaurant as a second job and was recently terminated after not working Thanksgiving. On my application I stated I was only available to work on Sat and Sun from 6am to 5 pm. I went to work on the Sat following Thanksgiving to find that I had been terminated for not coming in. I told the manager the Sunday prior that I had to work my full time job. Is it legal to terminate due to this? When I was hired they agreed to me working only those hours.

I am posting this question on behalf of a collegue.

Ok so, I've recently started work in McDonalds, and recieve pay every 2 weeks via Bank Giro Credit. I was paid twice fine, no problems, but my last pay was never put into my bank account.

I asked my boss about it, but she said its a problem with my bank account. She said that there is nothing she can do.

Is this correct? Is there anything I can do to pursuade her to actually check and to stop being so tight with her money? Am I looking at a legal case?

My most recent job performance review includes the statement that I do not work a full 40 hours per week. I proved that the supporting data used for the accusation was inaccurate on many days (I had several emails which were sent AFTER the report said I logged off my computer on several days). Furthermore, the IS employee who provided my boss the report stated that they currently have no accurate method of measuring employee's login and logoff times, and the report should not be used to prove the number of working hours.

I asked my supervisor to remove the statement of not working 40 hours per week since I proved it as inaccurate. He refused to remove the comment, but instead allowed me to write a rebuttal letter that would be attached to my review.

I am employed in Michigan, and am considered as an "at will" employee. I do not work under any contract. Is a supervisor free to include any information he/she wants to in an employee review?

I was a teacher at a post secondary school and they begen to drop on enrollements which cut my class size and reduced me to one evening class. The company also did away with a regional position I was awarded in total it took $2200 a month out of my pocket. I was with this company for over 2 years. Thanks in advance for your help.

My boyfriend works for a high street retailer and he has got extremely frustrated with the fact that they keep their employees in after closing to shut the shop but don't pay them for this extra time. He works until closing three times a week and although he is only paid until the hour (e.g. 6pm, 7pm, etc.) he is usually in the shop until about half past closing up. Is this legal?

My friend works for a company, where the Assistant General Manager has been trying to get him fired for the longest while, but he cannot fire him, because he has no real grounds. First he accuses him of using company property for personal reasons, this was refuted and found that my brother was not. He has told my friend to not do works that the General Manager assigned him, and we know the motive would be he would have proof that he is disrespectful! Next he accuses him of stealing, and this too was refuted. Now he is accusing him of having sexual relations with another employee on company promises. This is also not true. Is this considered harassment? What can be done about it? There are so many more, but way too much to mention! Desperately seeking some advice!!!

I am a college student working part-time for a legal attorney office as an Office Assistant for about 3 months now. When I was hired on they understood that I was a college student going to school and working at the same time, and it was clearly stated in my resume and repeated throughout my interview process. They claimed that they were okay with the fact that I went to school and up until this point have made accomodations with me when it came to school.

When asked about my availability for the upcoming spring semester, I told them that my availability was going to slightly change and now they have a big problem with it. Since then my boss has been nothing but rude and inconsiderate to me, and even told another employee who told me they were going to "let me go when they found my replacement". Is this discrimination and can I file a claim against them with the labor board? Also, will I be able to collect umemployment if they fire me over my school schedule
