    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...

    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...

    District manager Keeps contacting me to go to work

    Unfortunately, if you have only been with your current employer since November of last year, FMLA does not apply. Which means that the doctor's note holds exactly as much weight as the employer wants it to. If the employer chooses to ignore it, there's no law that's going to tell him he can't...

    District manager Keeps contacting me to go to work

    Unless FMLA is involved, a doctor's note holds no force in law. So let's see if FMLA is even a possibility. How long have you worked for this employer? How many employees does this employer have within 75 miles of your location? In the last 12 months, have you worked a minimum of 1,250 hours...

    What indicates a federal agent?

    Jean Webster, a great-niece of Mark Twain's, published a book around 1915 or so that referenced the Jukes and the Kallikacks. As I collect children's books from that era, I thus came to know about them as well. (I'm still a few years younger than Jack. Not many, but a few.)

    former employer gave 2 different termination dates. It was a no fault termination due to disability

    Regardless of whether the employer was right or wrong, the poster's issue is how to prove he was entitled to unemployment prior to July 4. Unless the poster is over the age of 59 1/2, in which case Ron is unquestionably correct (I'm not saying otherwise in any case; there's definitely more here...
