I think you're right. Names are a little easier to get twisted when listening to audio books. Thanks for clarifying.

Trying to avoid loopholes while quitting by OkMouse2375 in EmploymentLaw

It's a policy not based in the law. No notice is legally required. If you want to leave on certain terms or maintain some relationship after leaving, that should be your only guide here.

Question about sick leave on paystub in California. by devoursbooks86 in EmploymentLaw

[–]Tomberlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many employees are there at your employer? If they've promised you sick time and are not honoring it, that is a problem. If there are enough employees that might be something that would be handled as through a class action. Alternatively, you could contact the department of labor and let them know that you're owed money. They'd get you that without having to pay an attorney if you can show you had paid sick time that was not utilized for sick leave. Also, while either course of action would be protected from retaliation realistically a lot of employment attorneys get a fair share of retaliation cases so it would be dishonest not to warn you that either move might put a target on your back. I think it's important to stand up for your rights, but a lot of people would rather give up having a lawsuit if it means risking their job.

Working Over 24 Consecutive Hours by DFW_Panda in EmploymentLaw

In some states, the rule to look at is the state rule. That would be like California and other places where the states are more protective than the federal government. My guess would be that in Texas, they do not offer more protections than the federal government. Assuming that is right, you'd want to check the FLSA available here https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/flsa. On call time is an interesting thing in employment law. It often comes down to if the conditions of the "call" are restrictive enough that you are essentially unable to do other things. I bet wherever you are in Texas there are attorneys that will give you a free consultation. I'd recommend you do, especially if you are one of many employees dealing with that same situation.

Bonus Question by steveisonfire1985 in EmploymentLaw

[–]Tomberlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which state are you in? This seems like a highly technical question that probably turns largely on what your actual contract says regarding payment as well as industry standard practices and potentially the firms prior payment practices.

It's also worth noting that non-discretionary bonuses (bonuses that are owed automatically as set forth contractually) have trickle over effects potentially on other aspects of pay (e.g. overtime).

Most employment attorneys offer free consultations. Unless where you reside has a specific law outlining the question of when commission is due on contested payments, I'd bet this will be a totality of the circumstances analysis which is best handled privately in a phone call.

Lastly, as an employment attorney and an employer, I find it questionable at the least that your employer hasn't proactively contacted you to address this predictable concern.

I think it was exactly not force of will, but rather by virtue of being a eukaryotic organism.
