    defamation/invasion of privacy

    CBG, it is not appropriate for you to feel the need to control this thread. This is an "open" forum. ;) Whether the information that the OP was discussing was of a medical nature or not, medical is an example of "confidential" information that should never be disclosed, under any...

    Manager told me to nap on the floor......

    Your request for your personnel files immediately sends a red flag to HR, most are paranoid that anyone requesting their file is looking at legal action. HR is the holder of your files. My former employer did the same thing, refused to provide the file to me for many months. It is hard to say...

    defamation/invasion of privacy

    It could be. Kind of like how other employees at my former employer knew about my FMLA denial when I never mentioned it to anyone. How would they know anything about my FMLA or health related information unless it came directly from HR, who else would have that information? HIPPA and CA state...

    Disability Discrimination ~ What To Do Next?

    My apologies, it looks like Jerz may have been awaiting an answer on this question? EEOC does have a time limit for filing the claim, off the top of my head, 300 days sounds right, but I have not confimred that. I'll add a link here...... http://www.workplacefairness.org/filinggovtclaim

    Can I be fired for needing medical attention for possible cancer?

    You are correct, FMLA does not apply if you have been employed less than 12 months and have workerd fewer than 1250 hours for the employer during that time, but disability leave of absence as a reasonable acomodation per ADA and EEOC DOES apply in your case. Ask you emoployer about leave of...

    Proving Discrimination

    CBG, my comments are more along the lines of knowing how a particular company runs their operations. In shopping for the right atty for me in my case, I was amazed, every one of them I spoke to wanted to know the company responsible for the actions I have in writing. In CA, "Employer...

    I know it is UNETHICAL, but is it against the law?

    You now have negotiating room with your current employer to ask for more money....becoming very common again....employers are having a hard time keeping their best talent...now that you have a better offer in hand, ask what your current employer will do keep you IF you were to turn down the...

    Proving Discrimination

    http://www.mbtlaw.com/newsdetail.php?ID=48&Ret=&Type=Article&cat=2&archive=N 4Rights, here a link that explains how an employer will most likely "defend" an FMLA/Disability lawsuit. They, the defense, will use any tactics possible, to get you to "drop" the suit and that "they" (the employer)...

    Proving Discrimination

    No, in my state, employers do not fare well. California is the toughest state on employers in terms of employment law than any other state. If you are in a situation, that you feel that you have been discriminated against, the first thing you need to do is file with EEOC and or your state...

    Retaliation and Punitive "Caps"

    I am not finding anything about a "cap" on the amount of punitive damages for lawsuits brought under Oregon law. I did find info that mentions that it is at the judge's discretion as to whether they would approve punitive damages for a case, and it is done on a case by case basis. Of note, I...

    Proving Discrimination

    I would question how a situation is investigated. If they use internal investigators to the employer, they will NEVER admit to finding any wrong doing. My personal opinion is that anytime an EEOC or protected class investigation is conducted within the walls of any employer, that it be done with...
