No reunification plan in place that I am aware of; both parents have lost parental rights As far as I know, both parents attended parenting classes, etc. as required, and did an appeal to the county that denied parental rights, the appeal was denied. Is the only option at this point to file a...

I am in a similar situation with my 14 year old son. I requested testing for Special Ed, due to his depression. He was found to eligible for Special Ed classes at school due to his depression/anxiety. He is going into High School this year, and I am hoping that the change in schools and the...

EEOC/ADA Questions My suggestion to you would be to try to find a plantiff only employment law attorney to work with. Some may be willing to take the case on a contigency fee basis. Best of luck.

That is determined by case law and the unemployment judge, not the employer. :yes:

CA state disability is based on your Dr. putting you on disability leave. You have to file for CA State disability and your Dr. has to provide documentation of your disability to SDI. Your employer is like mine, they hide their head in the sand. Ask your Dr. to put you on disability leave...

Yes, you can get unemployment if you quit, depending on the reasons and your state unemployment laws, etc. (I did) Always wise to do what you can to hang onto your job if possible, however, it would be best to speak to an employment law atty in your area before making any decisions. Most will...

Sounds very familiar...do NOT drop the WC claim at this point would be my suggestion (personal opinion, I am not at atty). File a complaint with the DFEH in CA with a complaint of disability discrimination, retaliation, etc. Do continue to contact employment law atty's (look for plantiff...

Sorry to be a bit late replying, I am not on often, but I did want to check in to see if you had responded. FEHA - I was originally told that the employer would be given 30 days, but that DFEH may slide it to 60 if the employer needed more time, etc. In my case, I filed in May '09 and by...

An exempt employee (what is your FLSA status?) can have their pay docked or may choose to use vacation or sick time for the FMLA time (depending on your employer policy, but you should be allowed to use sick or vacation time. The issue I think that you have is it sounds as though your pay grade...

FMLA for private and public employers may vary. Speak with an attorney in your area.

I believe that with FEHA, you have 1 year from the date of the last incident of discrimination, but you need to contact your FEHA case worker. Send them a copy. Since your case is already in the works, send them a copy and let them decided if it is usable evidence. Can't hurt to let them know...

Yes, speak to an attorney immediately. The at-will-docterine is misleading and most employers will lead you to believe that it is a one way street, that they carry no responsibility in their actions. At-Will means that either the employer or the employee can terminate employment at any time...

http://www.workplacefairness.org/disability?agree=yes#1 Posted as an FYI :o

....In my case, apparently my former employer thinks that they can do whatever they want to without regard to FMLA or disability accomodation. Under the direction of the HR director, I was continually written up for using approved FMLA time as a "attendance" and denied FMLA for documented...

I just wanted to post a quick thought on this issue - I am in the midst of a lawsuit against former employer in CA for this type of an issue. Here is my perception of the problem.... Federal laws have changed and employers are required comply with the new laws, but they don't understand it...

Work productivity may be an issue with the employer, I am not an atty, so I can't offer any legal advice on the issue, however, my personal thoughts would be to pursue the needed surgery sooner rather than later and have your physician document your disability. Your FMLA and short and long term...

You do have to remember that CBG is NOT a legal professional and has no "legal" advice to give. All input is CBG's personal opinion and cannot be construed in any way, shape or form as being an educated legal opinion, but that of a "self" thought to be expert. I haven't seen any legal...
