Law & Legal

I recently went on an interview where I checked off that I do not want my present employer contacted. In the interview, I discovered one of the five people I met with used to run the area where I presently work and I informed him that my direct manager is aware that I am interviewing and can be contacted, but I prefer if that was the only person he contact if needed , as I do not want everyone to know ( I spoke to my manager about possibly interviewing elsewhere and he said he would keep it quiet). I called in sick the day of the interview as opposed to taking a personal day and the next day the head of my department (who it turns out was hired by the interviewer years before) told me I had to take a personal day and not a sick day for where I was yesterday. I don't know if the interviewer told him prior to me going (which I suspect) or after the interview, but I have two questions. One, is what the interviewer did legal? Two, it is unprofessional and what might I do about it? Tks

if an interviewer asks inappropriate questions eg( how you have children, are you married), how do you respond to that? i feel that those questions are inappropriate but i do not want to be rude.

I work in an office as a legal assitant/secretary. I work Mon-Fri from 8-5. I have no benefits. My job duties include but are not limited to... answer phones, make appointments, answer questions, take messages, go to the post office and check the mail daily, go to the bank about 2- 3 times a week. I also go to the court house a few times a week to get files, and file paperwork. I copy the files and open files for the office. I also type and mail the letters to the clients. Dust and vacume the office. I have been on my job for 1 year. I may have taken 4 days off. I do work for family, and sometimes watch their kids when they have late meetings. I also get to pick my son up from school at 3 pm and keep him here in the office with me until 5 pm. Which is why I took the job, now with him in school, it does fit my schedule. I have worked for him for $210. a week, which is enough to pay my bills, but does not leave me any left over. What would be a fair Salary?

I am being given a performance related bonus today. I intend to resign on Monday as I have found a considerably better job. The timing has not been intentional as I have been looking for some time. Can my current firm retract the bonus they give me today when I resign?

Mrs. S does not like this and attempt to leave the car-park,there is however a line of cars exiting and her departure is delayed by 10minutes. at the pay kiosk the attendant tries to charge Mrs. Smith $50 for her stay. Mrs. S refused , she claims a contract was not formed.
could you briefly set out what you would consider Mrs.S's legal argument for her claim would be under common law? how would Carpark attempt to counter this claim?
