Yes. It would be legal for a friendly seven year old to go into a bar where they serve alcohol in order to call 911 in an emergency. That is because this is not a forum for general chat about video games, Diet Pepsi, the National Football League, or anything else. This is a forum for general...

You are correct; I do. Posting before coffee is never a good idea. Correction made. Thank you for the heads up.

I should point out here that when a position is eliminated, that is a headcount issue, nothing more. It does not mean that the duties belonging to that position no longer need to be done; it means that there will be fewer people doing the same duties. Higher ranking people cost more than lower...

It's illegal in Massachusetts to buy fireworks. So what you're telling me is that if you buy fireworks in Florida, the state of Massachusetts can extradite you for violating a MA law, even though you were in FL when you did it?

I'm not making light of your concerns. But he cannot be arrested for violating a Florida statute because of something that he did in Vermont. Now, if Vermont has a similar statute, he can be arrested for violating that. But to be arrested of violating the Florida statute he would have to have...

Have you considered the possibility that perhaps there have been no other responses because none of the regular responders have had experiences such as yours?

So, for the third time I ask you, show us the law that prohibits the employer from forcing the use of sick time. Keep in mind that an action is considered legal unless there is a law that says it's not. So I don't have to show you a law that gives him permission to do so; his permission is...

No, that's not how employment law works. In the absence of a law saying that sick time cannot be forced, it can. You're quite right about one thing; it is a policy issue, rather than a law. As there is no law, it's up to the employer's policy. A policy CAN allow for forced sick time. An employee...

I ask again. Show me the law that says they can't be forced to use sick time.

Show us the law that says so.
