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...

Not at all. Why do you think so? Why is this any different from your telling people they can't smoke in your home?

First off, you're still being very cagy about your age, but if you're under the age of 40, then by definition it is not illegal age discrimination. At both the Federal and the state level if you're under 40, any attempt at an age discrimination claim is dead in the water before you even start...

You want to negotiate for a larger severance, fine. Your call. Just know a couple of things. On the basis of what facts you have deigned to share with us, your employers have done nothing illegal; there are no laws you can invoke that will force them to change their position or offer you a...

It is a Federal law and applies in all 50 states. If you are under 40 it most definitely does not apply, and if you are over 40 it may or may not apply. I'm not going to go digging for it unless there's some valid reason to believe you can make use of it. It ONLY is going to apply if you are (a)...

There is a very specific law that MIGHT have required your employer to give you more time to consider your options. However, you have to be over 40 for that law to apply. And age is the only factor it applies to at all. So sorry I inconvenienced you.

Document review is outside the scope of this forum. You'll need to show it to a local attorney.

Maybe. Maybe not. Not everything is legally binding just because it's written down. An attorney would have to review it under the contract laws of the state in question.

Perhaps you might want to make your example less extreme, as the removal of a kidney as treatment for a broken arm would never pass the hospital ethics review board. In fact, I suspect that in the highly unlikely event that it actually happened, the insurance carrier itself would absolve you of...

An insurance policy is a contract. It obligates the insurer to pay when, and only when, the conditions outlined in the contract are met. One of the conditions, as you have provided, is that the patient comply with medical advice. That's the patient's end of the contract to meet. If the patient...

My advice is that you pay the medical bills you incurred since it would appear that the insurance carrier has no liability for them.

I am asking this for a reason. How old are you?

As it is obvious that you will accept no answer but the one you want, and the answer you want is not one anyone here can truthfully give you as an absolute response, there is no point continuing the thread. Please take Blue's suggestion. Perhaps you will share facts with an attorney that will...
