I work at a daycare center. Within the past two weeks we have had our normal hour lunch cut down twice. The first time all staff was only allotted 20 minutes for lunch, and that day most of us worked 9 hours, and then again today we were allotted 45 minutes. With this job we have no other breaks during the day and here over the past few weeks the normal end of the day is at least an hour past your scheduled time.
Are there specific guidelines to the length of time that you are to be given for a lunch break in the state of pennsylvania???

I have been informed that my job role is going to have a drop in pay and although at present my wages are not directly effected the drop in 1 pay code band will reduce my earning potential in the future. Does anyone know the employment law regarding this issue? At present I have just been informed casually but I have been told by the Union that this should follow consultation proceedings were potentially redundancy could be an option?

Any advice would be appreciated.

For example, on vacation in Amsterdam, visiting (and participating) in the "coffee shop experience." Then going back to work and failing a subsequent drug test, leading to termination. The law was not broken while it was being consumed, and not on US soil. Just curious.

He was very hard working. He knew his technical field. But he was "laid-off" so that his manager could hire a crony. It's a technical field and he signed a 2 year "non-compete" agreement when he took his job. I would think that if a company lets you go, the non-compete should not be binding. Any opinions?

Are there any legal concerns for a company that ignores its own policy manual about posting all openings in the company and interviewing the applicants and promoting the best qualified for the opening ? Our manager hand picked his buddy for the job and it was a done deal. Several of the other interested people are over 40 yrs old and had much more experience . Seems illegal to me but is it ? What can be done ?

my employer accused me that i lied on my application when they asked me if i had any Conviction.. i denied it. 10 days after, they terminated me relating to the misdemeanor case i had in chicago, IL. the thing is, i was never convicted by that state..their law stated that once you finished court supervision, there'll be no CONVICTION. i was just under court supervision which i finished. so it turned out, i didn't lie on that application question. and their reason for terminating me is not valid.. i did appeal to them explaining what court supervision is. but i guess their not open to the idea that some state may have diff. law on convicting a person. The cause of my termination is not valid, i loss my job. What should i do?

I work for Friendly's in Massachusetts and I was just given a $0.75 pay raise (as i've taken on more responsibility on the job) to $8.25 an hour. Suddenly this week's paycheck was 7.50 an hour (when last weeks was 8.25 an hour). There was no forewarning or reason given yet. While shady, is this legal? Is there anything I can do about it?

I have 12 years as a Paramedic and the company sent me an e-mail recruiting me for a 10,000 sign on bonus and 50K + per year. I was told today that i will start at the bottom and they only recognize the experience Of Paramedics that have worked and put the time in at their company. After adding up the offered pay it does not add up to 50k it is 44K. What should i do ? What should i tell them?

I had an interview with a district court and was asked this question: what do you think of all the people coming thru here going to court? I said that probably 1/2 of them are not law abiding citizens and the other half just had a bad day, made a wrong decision. What would have been the appropriate answer.
