    Can someone get fired for calling in with a sunburn

    It's your supervisor's decision. If he doesn't want to fire the guy, that's up to him.

    Can someone get fired for calling in with a sunburn

    Your manager is mistaken, but he's not entirely off the wall either. There are laws that protect an employee from being fired for missing work due to illnesses. They wouldn't apply in this case, but they do exist. Besides, firing someone for calling in one day is a bit extreme, don't you think?

    When you get married?

    Let's see if we can simplify this. When I got married, I took a copy of our marriage certificate to the local Social Security office. They began their process, whatever it is at their end, and right there and then gave me a piece of paper that said I had officially changed my name with them. I...

    Divorcing overseas

    I'm sorry, but this is primarily a US board and the law in the US is not the same as the law in the UK. You need to find a UK board as I don't think anyone here has any knowledge of UK family law. I don't know anything about this board but it came up in a Google search. There may be others...

    Employer behavior

    Just FYI, a wrongful termination means that there is a specific law that prohibits the employer from firing you for the reason he did. It does not mean one that is unfair, unexpected, for something you did not do, or even one that is against company policy in most cases.

    The Very Sad Ending to What Was Once Thought to be a Great Presidency.

    There are also those who believe that the earth is flat, or that the Holocaust never happened, or that one need not pay any income tax. Belief in something does not make it true.

    Parking discrimination at work

    Nope, not gonna fly. To qualify as illegal discrimination, the practice must be based in a characteristic protected by law. "Whether you are or are not management" is not a characteristic protected by law.

    Working in Walmart

    Jack has pretty much summed it up. You can, legally, be fired for being away from your post for too long at a time or too many times. It is possible, not definite but possible, that your condition may - may, not will - qualify as a disability under the ADA. If so, then your employer must...

    OP, with regards to your report, the poster asked you whether or not, in your culture, wives were considered the property of their husband. It was a question ,not a declarative statement.

    Unemployment benefits denied-employer lied

    No. Maryland does not have to side with you and approve your benefits. They may. In fact, if you politely asked me for an opinion instead of demanding that we second-guess the Maryland UI Commission and provide you with a certainty, I would guess that it is likely you will succeed on appeal...

    Unemployment benefits denied-employer lied

    The thing is, in any state, the UI Commission operates on the assumption that either or both parties may be lying. But I've seen too many decisions, in either direction, that I disagreed with in the UI system to make any guesses as to how an appeal with end. And that's what you're asking us to...
