Sue Your Employer?
"'Not so fast,' I say to many of my clients whose first reaction to an employment dispute is to file a lawsuit. Many disgruntled employees and other people who have been wronged as well simply do not understand the consequences of litigation and reasonable alternatives to it."

My husband installs satellite TV. They make him sign papers each week saying he will not get on a ladder when it is raining, or drive down a road that is slick due to icy conditions. If he calls and says he cannot finish or drive to a job due to these conditions, they tell him to wait it out until it is over or do it anyway and that isn't their problem. It is a catch-22. They used to give him 2 jobs per day, plus about 2 hours of driving. They work 4 10 hour days. Now they are given 5-6 HARD jobs per day and are given 300-400 miles per day. They have manipulated the system to show they are doing less work (points per hour), b/c they are not counting drive time. He is exhausted and they expect him to work 6 a.m. until 12 midnight if needed AT people's homes! It is unsafe for him to be so physically and mentally exhausted to drive so far. Is there anything unlawful about any of this? The only "discrimination" they have shown was by taking his hat off in front of many younger employees and making a joke b/c he is balding. They do give him more work than some of the younger guys (b/c he is sweet and doesn't complain and is a fast, hard worker). They take advantage. Would this be age discrimination?

A drug addict lives on my bosses covered front porch, he's a very paranoid person. He has been arrested several times for drugs and gun crimes. One night he began ranting to me about how I had stolen his clothes and drugs, than completely unprovoked this guy puts a loaded 357 in my face, Than he hit me with the gun in the face
needless to say I beat him to the ground. There was a witness to the whole ordeal, who watched me help him up and tell him I only did what I had to do and I was sorry that it had to happen. He apologized,I forgave him.
For the next week everything was ok until he started his crap again. The boss is a good guy but knows this dude is nothing but trouble but feels for him because he has nowhere to go and is to far gone to turn his life around. So today he started on me because I breathed to hard as I walked through the porch. he began threatening me. I went outside he followed and swung two times at me, before the boss,interviened, saving his butt.Boss says I have to put up with it and ignore him or quit.

I work for a large glass mfg. co. and i'm the only black bob-tail driver, I have a class B lic. and the other guy's have cls. C lic. They were giving brand new trucks which just recently I found out that they are class B trucks. I checked the GVWR and it is 33000 way over the limit for a class C vehicle. Did they discriminat against me or not.
SECOND 5 or so months ago I was out sick and could not work per doctors orders, when i got better the doctor put me on lite duty, so when i took the doctor's note to my employer my boss signed off on the back of stateing that they don't have any light duty for drivers. So i had to go home with out pay, and had to file for dissability. Now just two months after that another driver slipped and twisted his ankle and he was on light duty working in the office. I asked him what are you doing working in the office? your a driver, he told me that his doctor put him on light duty. That's all i needed to here their has to be a violation of something. Please tell me what can be done.

I'm employed by small IT company for the last two years. the first year I was paied regulary. but this year I was not paied for 5 month. My boss always said "when the project is completed and when the client pays us we pay you!!". I believe the company is going to be bankrupt because it's so dependant on that one client who is not happy and would not pay.
What should I do ?
1) Leave the company and find another job. that means my 5 month wages will never be paid.
2) Leave the company and sue them for the unpaid wages.
3) wait untill the company announce bankrupcy..
Let me know if you know somthing similar to my case . thanks

tuesday i told my boss that friday may be my last day of work for the company. Today is thursday and i still do not have positive conformation that friday will be my last day of work. I have not quit yet and did not give anything afferming my intent to leave the company yet to my boss or anyone else in the company. Om wednsday i had to leave work early due to my wife falling very sick at work and she had to leave work early to go to the doctor and several specialists. As soon as i found out what was going on with my wife I gathered my things and my shop 2way radio then headed for home. I gave the radio to a fellow employee and informed him of what had happend. that all happend on wed.. on thursday i showed up to work ontime and was informed that i was not allowed to work in the maintenance shop that i have been in for over 4 years anymore. after 4 hours of work that day on thursday i was informed that i have been suspended from work and i had to turn in my badge, key and time card. The reasoning for my suspention was that i failed to call my boss to notify him of what was going on with my wife before i left the jobsite. i have a 3 day suspention. In case of an emergency with family the boss is the last person on your mind to call. If i may not be possibly leaving there would not have been a problem. Does this violate the fmla act? if i have a case please email [email protected]

I was the bar manager at a restaurant. The assistant gm wanted my job becuase he wanted the bonus i was getting. He spread lies about me and eventually got me demoted to bartender and he took over the bar. I tried my hardest to just work hard at my new position. Two weeks later he called me into the office and fired me. I asked for an explanation and he told me he couldn't tell me. Can he legally do that? I've never had a write up or verbal consuling for anything.

I worked for a Video Network.
The company co owner's persoanl assistant called me after work inviting me down to have a drink and dinner with her and some co workers. I declined I dont drink graciously.
Multiple text messages and 2 phone calls later. She was at home inviting me to come over and have sexual relations with her, I declined again letting her know if I did not work with her I would see her but due to the fact we work together I do not feel that is a safe thing. I am sorry.
From that day forward we did not speak at work, 3 weeks later her boss let me go before our christmas bonuses were due. He stated that he would rehire me on a freelance independant contractor basis. In the new year, I have waited for that phone call and was never givin the oppertunity.
Ex-Coworkers of mine have informed me that the girl who I would not sleep with, stated that if I were to work for the company on any projects, she will not produce the peice and that they can find someone else.
They wanted to hire me but she threatned to not work that day if I were present.
That simpley blackballed me.

I have already proved to the Human resources that all aligations are false and that my boss has accused me because he doesn't like me as a non Vietnemse. First, they threatened to fire me based upon my job performance. But now they laid me off after I proved that my boss had wrongly accused me. Can I sue the company?

My boss is a very rude and errogant person in the company to almost everyone. He forced me to go to business trip and work in China for two weeks this year. In the first week, I have to work at least 12 hours a day without any overtime payment. What's more, the company has some issues breaking the code I believe, such as the un-regulated abuse of toxic chemicals and working in non-airconditioning room in hot summer. How can I sue him, please help me: [email protected]. Thanks

I began working for a financial planner last February as a part-time computer operator. After only working for two days my employer offered me the position of sales assistant. I accepted. I had to sign a contract stating I would have to pay her $5,000 for my training if I did not stay employed there for one year. My problem begins here. My boss is a very agressive, intimidating and verbally abusive person. She is prejudice against African Ameicans (which I find extremely offensive). I found myself becoming ill very often as a result of the stress she inflicted upon me. I quit my job. She is now threatening to sue me for the $5,000.00 plus the cost of a training seminar out of town along with business expenses incurred during the trip. I do have witnesses to her abusive name calling and putting me down daily. I am contemplating filing a complaint with EEOC. Is there any other type of legal action I could take against her for the mental anguish she has caused me? Please contact me at [email protected] Thank you for yur cooperation.

I am continuing the previous topic which posted before completion. They hired someone outside of the co. with no degree or experience in our system,or our processes. I have written every SOX procedure, dept. procedure and trained our whole dept. including the manager. We are of different race. I have recently been suspended due to the manager's lack of knowledge of a funds transfer function. Upon being suspended until the investigation is completed, I was called 2 hours later to assist them with the investigation because they don't know the system or the process. I refused. I was told that because I am suspended with pay that I have to assist them investigate me. The HR. director has advised me of this. He has also advised that I am not terminated, but the Credit Manager has advised the dept. that I am no longer with the co. and that she is going to start interviewing. I have received NO paperwork regarding any of this. I didn't even receive paperwork regarding the suspension. I am seeking legal action for all of these incidents. I was also written up for the fact that I missed too many days of work when they rushed me to the hospital from there which resulted in a hysterectomy. I requested access to work from home and was told no, but access was given to another worker who had gall bladder surgery. There was a difference in race. I was also offered a supervisor position 8 months ago. I was called in a meeting and advised in front of the dept. that my supervisor position was on a trial basis, but two other workers were being promoted to supervisors as well but theirs were definite. There is also difference in race. One of the Supervisors promoted can't read very well and makes daily errors in cash processing, credit & debit postings in which I have to correct. Please contact me so that this can be exposed and punished by law. All of this is very unfair. [email protected]

Ok guys here is what you should do? Consult 2 completely different lawyers and listen to what they have to say bring proof if you can and tell them what you want at the end of the case. Do not tell anyone maybe your partner, etc but things under law should not be outspoken and sometimes may not even go to plan especially at your workplace not your boss when he gets his time and date for court jus wait to see the look on his face oh and never leave your workplace it will only anger your boss becuase if what he has done is highly racial,abusive discrimination and you have a little proof 89% you are going to win this case. look at me im running a business out of the money i won and im only 26.good luck

I was stuck at work that day, when i got the call from my sister's. I told my boss that i have to leave work because of a family emergency. My boss was only thinking of himself and for the company and said that i can not leave, as no one can replace me and my duties at the company. As i recall under the employment act that i am entitled to a 2 day absence w/o pay. And i didn't even get that. Needless to say, if my father would have died that day. There would be a law suite that i will Win....

To anonymous from cvs
First of all, is it a doctor that cvs is affiliated with, and if yes, get another opinion and explain to them the pain you're enduring, especially if it is making it difficult for you to work efficiently and comfortably. Then if something is discovered, find a lawyer whom you can talk to. Many lawyers will offer free consultations. What have you to lose?

I was advised the next day by the CFO that my immediate supervisor was having an issue with me taking my son to the Doctor and that he thinks that I get another job and that he would be happy to write a letter of reccomendation. I have never been written up or done anything to be fired. And I didn't understand why this was happening. I have received great reviews and bonunes. ANd there are other people at the other office who use their time to take their kids to doctors, etc. Why am I being singled out. I am the only assistant here in the office but if the other assistants get to take time for Dr. Appointments, etc. Why can't I? And why am I being asked to get another job when I do.

I have received 2 performance appraissels since taking over this job, One was meeting expectations and the other was exceeding expectations. I have given the highest honor in our company, An AllStar Award given to 8 people a quarter in a company with 25,000 employees. I was nominated for that award by someone in the division that I am apparently being unprofessional with. As the senior manager, I fill in for my boss when he is on vacation or in training. I have received nothing but accolades from my peers and superiors, until about three weeks ago when I unknowingly pointed out that my bosses boss, had screwed up. Since then, he has said very little to me and been very rude with his emails. He has asked my boss to write me up and suspened me. My boss felt that was unnecessary and just had a talk with me to explain the situation. 4 days later, my boss calls me into the office and says he is being forced to suspend me. I feel as if I am now being forced out of the company. The SOP for write-ups is a Verbal, then Written, then Final Written and then Termination. My boss is being forced to escalate this past the verbal and written and make it a final written. I cannot help but feel as though I am being pushed to look for another job as I do not want to be fired. What can I do?

Curious... it seems as if all these posts have been written by the same person. Or... a whole bunch of totally different people who just can't spell or use spellcheck. Just thought it was funny :)

Aug. 31 I got a call back from Subway, wanting me to come in for a couple hours as a tour of the job. I got there around 630 pm that day and stayed until about 15 min. before the store actually closed. while i was there they gave me a schedule for fri. and sun. for the next week. The owner never filled out new hire paperwork.
They called back tues. telling me to come in to work on wed. i worked from 11am-5 pm. 30 min after i arrived home i get a call saying that i wasnt what they were looking for. While i was at work the owner told me that i wouldnt be paid for the "training" period
Can he legally do this?

I'm a Bartender, My boss forces us to discriminate against anyone who isnt straight or white. Makes us charge double for drinks ect.. If I don't she will find someone who will is what I'm told. She also mkes us run and collect money for her illegal gambling games. She counts our tips out at the end of the night. We don't get to count them at all, then she gives us what she says we made. We know she is skimming some but can't prove it.Thats just a few things that go on there. I want to quit but I am in fear without an education and a bad economy for servers. What can I do?

My boss cut my hours saying she didn't have to keep me on and that i should be pleased she's offering me less hours, i couldn't do anything about it because i hadn't worked there a year, which is a silly rule if you ask me. She's now claiming i've taking more holidays than i actually have, and she hasn't paid me for the 2 weeks i just had because she says i wasn't due any. She's also saying the supervisor told me i wouldn't be getting paid (which isn't true) and that the supervisor told her i had taking an extra week which i haven't. Can i do anything to stop her treating me like this?

I work for a large family owned department store where i am a customer service agent. recently my store manager has been verbaly abusing me and when i try to speak to her she says she does not want to talk about it or she threatens me not to get smart with her even though i am not. i don't even raise my voice i just want to defend myself against her abuse. how can i protect myself and defend myself at the same time without the fear of getting fired. also she has a history of verbal abuse of power. i am only one of a very long list of people who need this job but do not deserve the abuse.
the last person who went over her head and complained was fired for "mystery reasoning".

A couple months ago I found out that I was going to have a baby. I told my employer right away because I work in a nursing home. From that point on my life at work was hell. I was put on halls by myself and I wouldn't even get a break during my shift. When I told my employer about it nothing was done. I ended up sick three times. One time I had to call off work and two times I left work early and went to the emergency room and I always brought back an excuse from the docter. Then last wed. I woke-up with a fever and I couldn't swallow. I called my mid-wife and she wanted me to go to the E.R. I called my employer to tell them I wouldn't be in and the D.O.N proceed to tell me it was my 3rd call-off and I would be terminated. I tired to tell it was only my second she got very nasty and borderline verbally abusive over the phone. She had me so upset I felt I had to quit or get fired even through I was right. So I called back and told them I quit because I felt forced. I found out two days later that she knew it was not my 3rd call off and she still threatned me over the phone. I feel very discrimated aganist because I am pregnant. What can I legally do I relied on my income now I have no income.

Report to police and get an FIR. This is the only advice I can give you.

After working at my construction job for 4 years I acquired hernia. Being a gate welder at this job they expected you to lift 200 to three hundred pound gates with one helper in a fast paced and unsafe manner all day. I lifted one day and felt kinda like a pop in my stomach. I knew I would get screwed in the end but I reported it anyway. I was checked out by there work comp doctor and he acted like he couldnt feel it at first when it's very easy to feel and my personal doctor already told me what it was. Anyway I was told not to lift heavy which is 90% of the job. Very soon after I was fired. I believe this was do to my reporting this injury, costing them money, and making me a liability. Is there anything I can do about this? And if there is nothing I can do how do I atleast go about getting corrective surgery?

Ex-boss had a past history of alcohol and drug abuse. I knew about it. She wanted to appear perfect and got rid of me. But other people in the company know anyways! Poor thing. She's still wallowing in her misery. I've moved on and I'm FREE!

i wurk at the burger place very very hard. i flip da burgers very fast and make good fries too. i take no breaks but i like to eat dose nugget chickens while i work. so one day i flip the burgers while making fun of the color guy who cleans the floors and pinchin Julies behind. Even though she always tell me stop i know she really like it. and fur no reason at all my dummy boss tell me im fired for no reason. i yell at him at him and threw the burgers on the floor but he still woudl not listen. i even tell him i burn the place down and he still do not listen. if he were a good boss he would not fire me so the burgers would not be waste and the there no chance of the place buring down but he a dummy. can i sue for dummy boss firing me for no reason, i figure you must be able to sue a bad boss for making me mad. i hit myself with the burger flipper when throwing teh burgers it hit my head but missed my eye. can i sue for pain adn suffering? it really hurt

I was giving a layoff notice by a fellow employee. Told by my supervisor to hurry up and get my work done so i could be laid off again.this occurred 3 days after I had informed the company(large corp.)that my doctor was sending me for m.r.i. on my knee and would likely need surgery on torn cartiledge.
This company told me that since I started the man hours for my work have dropped over 200 hrs and that i would never have to look for work again.
I have 1 verbal discipline in 5 yrs and no written disciplines.
I get along with and can work with anyone at the plant with the exception of my fellow enginefitter and our supervisor. who has constantly told me to hurry up so he can lay me off again.
My partner says to my boss that he refuses to work with me, eventhough any1 else who has said this is told to go home till they will.
Also, the union doesn't know their own rules and the company seems to do what they want anyway.
The union's regional rep. keeps telling me to accept the fact that the company doesn't want me anymore and for my families sake I should move on.
All this after being laid off with illness twice and the company failing in duty to accomadate as well as refusing the benefits I pay 60.00 dollars a week for my supposed 20%.
Pls, someone help. My family is going to lose everything because of what I think is personal dislike.

I worked for a very small business. My boss refused to may me. He ended up spending my entire salary on a prostitute. I obviously quit. After I did, he spread very bad lies about me to other potential employers. This has made it very hard for me to find work.

I have just started a warehouse job and only been there for a month & half.
My boss there is always harassing me by telling me that I might not have a job anymore, or when I mess up he tells me that I am keeping him from his family and if I keep messing up that when I want a day off he is going to say no and make me sit down on a chair and stay there so that I wont be with my family.There was once that he even said that I should speak to a proffesional or someone because I had problems that were affecting my work. That I should tell them I have a good job and I'm not doing so well (I have no expierence in a warehouse) and what should I do (my boss knows I have no expierence).Some times he's even asked me that was he making a mistake by hiring me.
In all honesty I've tried my hardest-my past employer once told me that if
someone is doing a bad job that they couldn't fire if they were trying,
but if the person knew what they were doing was bad or didnt care how they
were working.Then the employer could fire them.
Is that true?
My boss even once said that I should run when I'm not at work so that I can have more energy because I move very slow. When I move faster then people that are there.
Can I sue my employer for what I honestly believe is harrassment?
Is this harrasment?

Hello, I left my previous employer (a large bank) in good standing (gave a two weeks notice), and have been contacted multiple times about different positions. I have changed my references, submitted for positions with a blank profile and had my resume handed to them directly, even had my resume passed to different hiring managers all with the end result being the same; the hiring managers contact my previous manager (s) and I then receive a decline email for the position. The interviews all go well, then when it comes to the point of "contacting my references"; my references are never contacted, just previous management. My previous management holds a personal grudge against me. Is this fair? Should/can I sue? I am not only losing out on increased pay and benefits, but also lost my tenure. Any interested lawyer please contact me at " ucanthvit " residing at "aol.com"
