    wasn't treated fair enough at michaels.

    "A lot of people" are wrong. You don't have anything even close to a law suit for wrongful termination. Google the phrase and you'll find out why. There is no law requiring you receive a warning before being terminated. And what the heck does the customer being a "Muslim guy" have...

    Manager refused to confirm that I've been terminated

    This is not illegal harrassment. This is not a wrongful termination. This is not illegal discrimination. Google each of those terms and you will find out why. http://library.findlaw.com/1998/Feb/1/128914.html Note the first paragraph; harrassment must be based on a protected...

    wage deductions without permission

    http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs16.pdf Missouri does not have any specific laws regarding deductions from pay, so the above federal law will apply. If the deduction for any given workweek took you below minimum wage for all hours worked, or cut into your full overtime pay, you...

    Not paid for overtime

    That's different, because the base pay is not being paid and the company is intentionally not keeping the required records of hours worked. Each and every affected employee should file a wage claim with the state Dept. of Labor.

    Not paid for overtime

    Without any pay at all or just not the premium portion of overtime pay? I'm not sure I agree with ArmyJudge here, though. Generally speaking, in any workweek in which total gross pay / hours worked equals at least minimum wage, the law has been complied with. What are these people doing...

    Manager refused to confirm that I've been terminated

    And she does not need a lawyer, not at this point. If the state denies her claim (and I can foresee no reason for them to do so; she isn't working, whether she has been told she is terminated or not), she can appeal.

    Unsure about Salary Law, Boss witholding money

    Without a valid contract or agreement requiring mileage reimbursement, you're probably SOL. Your state is not one of the two states that requires such reimbursement under wage and hour law. "Salary" is merely a pay method. Take your weekly salary and divide it by the number of hours worked...

    With holding pay

    Underpaid you HOW? Overtime not being paid? Hourly rate incorrect? All hours not being paid? Additional pay per union contract not paid? The details are important, because your recourse is different depending upon whether a LAW has been violated or a clause in the CBA has been violated...

    Manager refused to confirm that I've been terminated

    The problem with not taking a call is that it's possible the call would be "please return to work tomorrow". Anything else is basically unprofessional. What is being asked/said in these calls? I do agree with Jacksgal, though, she should file for unemployment tomorrow.

    What exactly is "messed up"? Details, please.

    wage deductions without permission

    Were you making minimum wage or very close to it? Plus, I doubt very seriously that this was a "contract". Contracts have very specific requirements and this very likely did not include the required components to be a contract. And even if it was, a contract cannot make an illegal...

    Withholding pay

    No, they cannot. File a wage claim with the Texas Workforce Commission. BTW, a percentage of GROSS pay? As a deduction before taxes, or before taxes?

    Question about attendance records

    OK, then you need to speak with HR regarding intermittent FMLA leave.

    recording phone conversations without consent

    A convicted felon IS protected under Wisconsin law, although employment can be denied if the employer can show that the felony is related to the job being considered; for example, the employer . http://dwd.wisconsin.gov/dwd/publications/erd/pdf/erd_6061_pweb.pdf Wisconsin is also a one-party...

    Mobbing in the Workplace

    Excuse me for being out of touch, but what is "mobbing"? And instead of being theoretical, just explain to us what is happneing. (The link prohibition is there to discourage one-time spammers.)

    "Laid off" after returning from FMLA leave

    http://fmla-law.com/2007/07/20/statute-of-limitations-period-for-fmla-violations/ There are generally not "damages" for FMLA violations; there may be fines assessed against the employer. Plus I'm not sure at all that there even was one. "Job elimination" is merely another way of saying...

    Question about attendance records

    No, it doesn't. OP, what about my question regarding guardianship status.
