    On the off chance that this is a valid question and not a spam, I have deleted the link in your post and not the post itself.. Please be aware that this board is for answering general legal questions; you cannot obtain representation from a message board, even if someone responding does have...

    Union and benefits

    It is possible, yes. It is by no means a given. Where I work the union has better benefits than the non-union employees.

    Itemized statement from medical provider

    Contact your insurance company. Do not talk to Claims or Customer Service. Contact the department that deals with the dentist's contracts - it will be called Provider Relations or something on that order. Tell them what is happening. It is their job to deal with the dentist refusing to accept...

    Immediate enforcement of policy that wasn't enforced for 20 years

    Texas, you're thinking in terms of individuals, and I'm not saying that's a bad thing. But the county has to look at the overall effect on the county budget. We could be looking at several thousand dollars per person on this issue, being carried over from year to year as an expense on the...

    Immediate enforcement of policy that wasn't enforced for 20 years

    If the time was lost when an employee leaves, I'm afraid you're out of luck unless your county has something built into their ordinances that guarantees this. That's a huge amount of money for the county to be carrying on their balance sheet and I'm not surprised they can't afford to continue it...

    Immediate enforcement of policy that wasn't enforced for 20 years

    Assuming that this is a private, non-union employer and not a state or municipal agency, I can't think of any Federal or Texas law that would be violated by the immediate enforcement of this policy on a go-forward basis. I seriously doubt that any Federal or Texas law would be violated at all...

    Can I be terminated because of my wife's custody agreement?

    Sorry but no, there isn't. The custody arrangement of someone who isn't even employed by them is not your employer's business.

    N Right to Work State

    As I have said many, many times on many, many boards, exempt employees (and as a teacher you are almost certainly an exempt employee) are not paid on the basis of how many hours they work but on getting the job done. I'm going to slightly correct Tax and say it's not that the extra work is not...

    amazon problem

    I'm not talking about rentals either; I'm taking about subscriptions.

    amazon problem

    I have noticed that every so often, the new episode of a series that I have available to me through (usually) Paramount (occasionally another service, but mostly Paramount) shows up as being "available to buy". instead of being immediately available. Sometimes I can just go straight to the...

    The Crime of Perjury

    No, actually. The purpose of this board is for general legal information. It is not a discussion board, a referral service, or a substitute for a local attorney. If you are looking for specific advice, you need to hire one. We can't act as one for you. Nor are we here for you to spout your...

    Wife Slipped and fell in School doing PTA work

    Before going that route I'd at least attempt the workers comp route. The worst they can say is no. But for a lawsuit, you'd need not just that there was water on the floor, but that the school knew or should have known that the water was on the floor and failed to take appropriate action. If...

    How can I find someone's marriage & divorce records?

    If you're really that determined to punish your ex-friend for whatever misdeeds they've committed, you don't need to go to all the trouble of digging out their records. All you need is right here: ICE Tip Form However, be advised that they will not report back to you what action they take or...

    Then have all the associated documentation - bonus and severance agreements at minimum - reviewed by a local attorney.

    Can Employer Void Bonus During Layoffs

    The bottom line is, it depends on the terms of the bonus agreement and whether it's a discretionary or a non-discretionary bonus.

    Initially Full-time, reduced to Freelance = doubled my work load

    If you are asking whether you can ask, of course you can ask. There's no law prohibiting you from asking. If you are asking whether the employer is obligated, upon your request, to raise your salary, however, the answer is no, they are not. Likewise, if you are asking whether your job is...

    Can I bill tollways for my time?

    Do not get me started on the snarled bureaucracy that is the NY DMV. You'll be here all day.
