The employer is allowed to ask for sufficient medical information to support the need for FMLA. They cannot ask for your entire medical history, but they can ask for enough to determine that FMLA is still necessary. It is not unreasonable to want confirmation that there has been no change to...

Let's get the cast of characters straight. Who is "the FMLA representative"? Someone in your department? Someone in HR? Someone at the office of a third-party administrator who handles the leaves? Someone at your doctor's office? Do I understand correctly that you had a previous FMLA...

And we should help you evade the law because...?

How many hours the employee works is entirely a decision by the employer. While CA is one of the two states that puts a cap on how much overtime an employee can be required to work, 70 hours per week is well within the limit. Whether additional compensation is due, is determined by whether the...

If you are a third year law student, at an accredited law school, you are no doubt aware that many if not most law schools offer law clinics where senior law students can, under the guidance of their professors, get experience providing free or low cost law advice to those who cannot afford it...

Ah. In MA, when and where I was a licensed notary, notaries did not provide that service.

I am an American citizen born outside the US and with dual citizenship also. My friend, you brought this entire mess on yourself. You couldn't have celebrated your birthday a day early? Believe it or not, I also have a mid-summer birthday. I work full time and where I work, only two people can...

Just to establish my credentials, I have worked in some form of employer-sponsored benefits/HR since 1979, and have done benefits exclusively since 2008 or thereabouts. I have been the appropriate representative for the employer, the insurance carrier, and the third party administrator. (I told...

Just wanted to add my support for the cause. The subject of service dogs is one very close to my heart. When a very dear friend/adjunct family member died, we requested donations to his favorite charity, an organization for service dogs for veterans, in lieu of flowers. But service dogs for...

This is a US based forum and deals with US law. No one here knows the laws for Afghanistan, India, France, Germany, or Syria. You'll have to look elsewhere for your legal advice.

No. A "hostile work environment" does not mean that your boss is mean, aggressive or rude. It means that you are being subjected to unwelcome conduct that is based in a characteristic protected by law. It means the REASON you are being treated badly is due to your race, religion, national...

So when I clicked on your link to get the context of your quote, the link didn't work.....

I can answer most of your questions and I'm sure there are others here who can answer what I can't. First, they cannot take your entire check. Nebraska minimum wage is $9.00 per hour - they must pay you at least $9.00 times hours worked. Your direct deposit agreement does NOT give them the...
