If you tell your employer you are looking for a new job but you don't want to quit until you find one and if your employer hires someone to take your place before you DO find one, would you have "quit" or been "fired"?

My company has started disciplinary proceedings against me, for something that happened out side of my contracted working hours and not at work or in relation to anyone I work with. I was on my way to work when I had an arguement with a member of the public over a non work related issue. They complained to my company, they only knew where I worked because I had my work shirt on. I don't believe this is fair but can't find any information on the limitations to contracts and when they apply.

I have decided that I want to be a lawyer when I grow up. I tried researching the different types of lawyers, but I'm still not sure what the difference between some is. I am interested in the type of lawyer that defends either a criminal or the person or state accusing someone of a crime.

Please someone tell me the difference between prosecuters, civil lawyers, and criminal lawyers, what they do, and maybe even salaries.

I went into a family video store to rent a movie and over heard a converstation between a girl putting a job application in and the manager. The conversation went something like this. (man.) What times are you able to work? (girl) I'm free pretty much all the time. (man.) How old are you? (girl) I'm 18 believe it or not. (man.) and you really don't have any work history? (girl) no I really don't. (man.) ok well we will be calling people by 5pm on fri... so all that isn't really what got me mad it was after the girl walked out, the manager turns to another co worker and says put her name on the list and highlight her yellow, I would say highlight her green because she has no work history but she's cute, and seemed to have some kind of personality so highlight her yellow. I went to the counter and here is this list of those who have applied two marked green and one yellow. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought it was illigal to put ANY markings when dealing with job applications?

I recently interviewed for a better position with the Union. The position is selected by a point system. Highest points gets the job. I was told that I didn't get the job even though I had the highest points in the interview. I was told I was the only person that they did that to. That every time before and after this type of position was posted they went by the point system. Is this legal?

Also, does anyone know where I can find rankings on the different LLM programs? Or does anyone have advice as to which are the better LLM programs?

I have been told I can just test for it. I have been an Electrician for near 10 years. But none of the time counts because I was never under a Master Electrician. I have done much work for Ford, Chrysler, GM, and Harley-Davidson. Any input would be helpful.

I recently worked for a guy, doing landscaping. I worked for him 2 summers ago and everything went great. I just graduated college and needed an interim job before starting my career on June 1st. I worked for 3 weeks and never received a paycheck. I worked 81hrs at $9 an hour = $729. I have called him at least 4 times a week since May 27th (the day I should have received my first check) and every time he tells me, "The money is being processed, we will have it to you tomorrow". No exaggeration, this happened 20 times. Well, recently he changed his phone number and didn’t call me. Someone else told me his number and I called him, same story. I am not the only employee he has done this too this summer, there are three more. What should I do?

Can an employer -

1) Demand you see a MD because they think you are ill?
2) Force you to go on disability if you refuse?

My friend's boss thinks she has neurological problems and says if she isn't seen by a physician, they will force her to go on disability.

The MD has declared her perfectly healthy, but is this even legal?

Also, they are making her use her vacation time to cover the time off to see the MD. Can they do that?

Isn't this harrassment?

I am asking for a friend, as they say! I actually am. She has been of work for about 2 months and is being paid short term disability through her insurance policy at work. A friend of hers told her she may be forced to pay back any wages she received if she quits. Her doctors have not released her to go back to work after a surgery she had, so she has a legitimate excuse. Any ideas of the consequences, if any??

I was thinking about pursuing a career in law enforcement but have discovered that having such a conviction prevents one from carrying a gun. What other job occupations are limtied with this conviction? Would becoming a school counselor/teacher be out as well? Thanks!
