No, you do not. There is no law addressing this issue or that would require the employer to change your status. And yes, it is correct that a subpoena would be necessary to get a copy of your records. There is no law in Florida that requires the employer to even let you view your...

Here's your problem. If you had a medical condition that was affecting your work, you should have requested an accommodation or leave time under the FMLA (assuming the employer, you, and the condition all qualified). In any case, even under the ADA (and we don't have enough information to say...

Franchisees are the owners of the establishment. Corporate normally provides advertising support, menus and cooking instructions, things like that to protect the corporate name. It would be very rare if they provided a free legal defense to the franchisee; and even if they did, they aren't the...

I'm just trying to protect the OP's right to wear the glasses. If the company deems them a "reasonable acommodation" under the ADA, then that's the end of the story. If that hasn't been discussed, they could legally tell him to take them off.

One cannot always be "looking at one's work". Try it some time. It's impossible.

No, I didn't say that. Not even close. I said, make sure the discussions relative to the sunglasses being a reasonable accommodation under ADA have been had. If they have, and the company agrees that they are a "reasonable accommodation", then IF the paranoid employees complain about...

Assuming the employer has at least 15 employees total, they are subject to the ADA. As such, they are required to enter into interactive discussions regarding "reasonable accommodations" to mitigate the effect of your disability to the extent it allows you to perform the primary functions of...

Or the new smoky cheddar, bacon, Steakhouse burger. YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course not, why would you think so? Your post is very vague.

AJ, I do agree with you on that point. I was just trying to point out that the state won't take a wage claim if the employer does either of those two things.

Agree about the paycheck. However, if it is available for pickup within the time frame or it is mailed by the due date, it is on time. Where does the OP say she was fired in retaliation for filing a discrimination claim? Where did she say she filed a discrimination claim at all? She spoke...

Arkansas has no laws regarding the timing of payment of a fired employee. If she is scared of a physical altercation, you can go with her. Or she can let them mail her the check. If she refuses to go in and pick up her paycheck, either with or without you, then she really has no choice but to...

OP, you do understand, however, that being granted unemployment benefits does not automatically mean the reason for the termination was illegal, right? It very seldom does; hardly ever, in fact.

You would have to show that the ONLY reason you got less than the other employee was BECAUSE you were female. Not saying it's not possible, but it's not easy, either.

blueman, it would depend on whether that particular location was an owned restaurant or a franchise. If there was something to sue for.

Directly from the article. Where in the OP's post is there ANY indication that the "harrassment" was based on a protected characteristic?

I read the post. Did you READ what I posted? I cited verbiage directly from the DOL site. Where are YOUR cites or cases? FMLA is NOT a get-out-of-jail-free card. Besides, FMLA violations are handled by the DOL, the EEOC does not handle them. An FMLA violation is just that; the EEOC handles...

I see that what you posted was not an illegal action on the part of the employer. "Unfair" (which it may or may not be, doesn't make any difference) does not necessarily equal "illegal". You got the answer to your legal question. The employer does not "deny" unemployment. The employer...

"But I was" does not give you permission to override a store/company policy, unless you are given specific authority to do so. And please don't post twice.

You mean you questioned what some other employee got? And they told you? (shocked) Maybe. Now, that you know, have you asked HR?
