Okay so I just did a search for the info you just provided. A quick search does say those guidelines are not legally binding. So could I still lose my license or certification if I don't abide by them? I've been warned that what we are doing is opening us up to lawsuits from parents.

PS I met with the director and HR and it's clear they are backing the jenke plan. They touched that it was approved by the superintendent too. Not sure if the board understands they've hired a student in place of a therapist and because she's family. I have an obligation to stay within scope and...

The law states up to supervision every 15 days, and it is incredibly vague. However, our National governing body has guidelines as scope of practice and code of ethics that specify that supervision is dependent on experience and complexities of the client conditions. Neither of us would have the...

Her hiring actually directly affects me, not just for my job security, but for my practice requirements, which yes, are written in state as well as a national industry ethics guideline. So wow. Thanks for your professionalism. So much for real legal advice. Bitter and rude. Forget I asked. I'll...

Thank you and I hear you. I do want to set straight, making the judgement that this is a cop out is pretty presumptuous. I live in a small town. Jobs with comparable pay are not here. I don't have reliable transportation to commute out of this small town. I hit hard times and had to move across...

I'm in a complex, two part situation as an employee at a school district. I work as a therapy assistant. Our current therapist is leaving at the end of the school year. By law and industry code, I have to have a therapist to work under. However, the director has hastily pushed through her family...

Thank you. I've been thinking the same and hearing the same sentiment. I can't be the only one that has lost keys. Maybe I'm the only one to report it... I've also had union mentioned a few times now. I've never had a unionized job before and am pretty naive. Need to look into it. Also not sure...

I work for a school district that still uses old fashioned metal keys and locks. I've been terribly sick, working on cold medicine, and just not thinking straight. On top of that, my keychain went and broke one day and I ended up carrying the keys in my pocket to get through the day. Somewhere...

This may sound obvious, but can a company demand reimbursement for initial training if you never received the handbook (until a month later) and never signed it upon hiring?? I was hired over a month ago with a soon to open start-up health and fitness franchise. I was hired under a previous...

From DOL. Am I not reading this correctly?

Well at this point, DES has interpreted resignation as being the date of notice. They even backdated it an extra week. To fight it, I’d have to pay $200 just to file with Superior Court and probably have to hire a lawyer.... But it’s very clear the system isn’t for truth or fairnes. DES is out...

That's what I'm reading as well. The email was a notice to resign and the last day worked is the day of resignation. Is there any statute or something legal I can reference to back this up??

Hi All, I came here in January for help with an unemployment hearing and I'm back. My second appeal came back; it's denied. They have me that I left the company. I quit and moved on to an internship, and the DES agents said I still qualified (that's another story and NC doesn't care). Right...

Thanks All again for your guidance! I really appreciate all that everyone does on here.

I filed the workers comp paperwork a few days ago and spoke with billing at urgent care. They have the invoice on hold and said they can rebill it to workers comp. Per the WC instructions, I also sent a copy to the former employer. I believe she received the letter today because she finally...
