I assume that this isn't legal, right? I was supposed to do a couple of jobs for them (after doing about six of them already), but got a full-time job offer with another company and took it.

First, I had no actual contract. They paid me to show up and do a job each time. I gave 24 hours notice since my new job needed me immediately, but under my state's laws I'm not required to give any notice at all.

Now they want to sue, saying that they lost money and that I breached my contract (what contract, I asked?). I'm not the only one that was hired for these events either -- they are always supposed to have backups and other workers at the events in case of mishaps or to assist.

Anyway, I know they can't rightfully sue, but I don't want to get stuck in court either.

The other part of this is that they don't want to pay me for the last two jobs that I did for them, and said that if I pursued it any further they would definitely sue.

Any help is appreciated.

I recently got a call from an employer after an interview offering me a job with "22 -25 hours a week." I asked her on the phone if I could start today, and she said that she would call me back. She never did, so I went into the office and asked her when I was starting. At that point, she told me that she is moving a current employee from a different department to the position that I was hired for and that I might get "some" hourse now but none in the future. What can I do about this??

I lost a trial and the defense attorney filed for attorney's fees for $100,000. My lawyer filed motion to dismiss and they soon dropped the motion for attorney's fees.

But the judge presiding over the case is a nutjob. She scolded my lawyer for filing the case (even though it was 100% legit) and pretty much tried to persuade the defense to refile for attorney's fees, even though the 60-day window has passed.

Here's my question: so if the defense re-files for attorney's fees and prevails, what legal recourse do I have???? The judge is a real nutjob and she even admitted in court to not even reading over our motions!!!!!!

So what can I do if that happens? Is there a way to overturn it on the grounds that she overstepped her bounds by encouraging the defense to refile and not do it within 60 days?????? Shouldn't she be disbarred for such a thing???? What are my chances I can prevail??? (THIS IS IN LA COUNTY, CA, USA)

My lawyer's away so I can't ask him =(

Does this policy still exist and if it does how do I get to it? I also paid for an accident policy. This was with a Christian college who is well known for covering their butts and paying out little to nothing even if they fire you unfairly. Any answers out there?

I am getting ready to graduate with a bachelors in Political Science, I had originally wanted to go to law school, but I am becoming more and more interested in "hands on" law enforcement work rather than Law itself, if that makes any sense.

I would love to one day work as a detective but would probably begin as a regular patrol officer after completing training and becoming certified (I live in FL) Would my B.A. be any use to me and help me bypass and educational requirements. I ask this because everyone I discuss this with seems to think I am foolish for wanting to be a police officer after 4 years of college. Any thoughts or insight would be helpful!

TIA

I'm trying to get a job in Northern VA, but I live in NC. I know that some employers don't pay much attention to out of state applicants and was wondering if it was ok to use a friend's address in VA instead. My friend says I have her permission to use it, but doesn't that pose a legal issue to lie about your address to potential employers?

Also please factor in that the attorney went to either Stanford or Berkeley law school while the pediatrician went to UCLA medical school if possible.

I have my case being heard on Monday. Has anyone recently been through a case? It all seems so daunting, I had read the evidence from all sides and going mad. I lost my job becaus having giving my employer 10 months notice of intended leave, they refused all as someone else was off for 5 of the 11 days. But they refused all the leave without explanation. They have made 3 offers during the buildup but it is not just the £. Anyone else been in this position?

He was let go after being required to work eight 12 hour shifts in a row, he got sick, had enough points to take a half day, told the supervisor he wasn't feeling well and had to go home, the supervisor said do you have enough points for that my fiance replied yes and I will see you for the extra mandatory day tomorrow. The employement agency then called and said stop by the office before you go back to your job, he did and was told that he was not to report back to that job he had been terminated. Now the employment agency is saying he isn't eligible for rehire...is there anything legally that can be done?

I have worked for this company for 2 1/2 years. About 6 months ago a new girl was hired in our department, making $1 an hour more than me. She does the same work I do, has less office experience, is less educated, and had to be trained to do the job. Management has changed since I was hired, and it was determined that the new person coming in would make X dollars per hour. I feel like my hourly wage should have been raised at least to match hers, but it wasn't. Any equal pay for equal work laws I have seen refer to sex discrimination, but we are both female.

I have called to interview for a job, and left three messages. I recently found out that the principal has no intentions of calling me for an interview because I have 5 children. His position is that there is no way I can handle a teaching job as a mother of five children.

Isn't this discrimination? Does he have the right to refuse me an application based on my private life, not even immoral private life? Does it matter that it is a private non-profit school, as opposed to a public-government-run school?

I wouldn't sue or anything, I'm just kind of frustrated.

I had an outstanding interview Monday, after which I sent a thank you e-mail. The interviewer called me today to let me know they would be making a decision by the close of business next Monday. Should I send her another email thanking her for the update or would that be excessive? I was going to send something short and sweet.
