What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MI Does anyone know if there is a law that says you cannot vacate your residency for more than a certain number of days during your non-parenting time before being considered homeless? My ex has custody during the summer and I am taking a...

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MI My sister's fiancee has ended the relationship after 7 years. They have a nearly 6 year old son out of wedlock, and have moved around every couple of years. They lived with my parents in Sault Ste. Marie a couple of year, then moved to Iron...

What is the name of your state? Michigan (sorry- I need to update profile- but it is MI) I was hired for a 6 months contract-to-hire opportunity through a contract employer to perform a supervisory position at a local food manufacturing plant. The first day I arrived I was told that my job...

They were on maternity leave, only they used up their vacation time prior to FMLA.

Well i know that other people who didn't have vacation time were paid up to the full 12 weeks, so i doubt that to be the case. Anyhow I wrote HR asking for a copy of the full policy, and all they replied is that what they need is to speak in person about this. Can they deny me the full policy...

What I'd like to see, if you're posting, is anything the disability plan has to say about waiting periods over and above what you've already posted, anything about pregnancy or maternity leave, and anything about coordination of benefits. At the moment I'm not concerned about what the company...

Shouldn't I be entitled to the full 7 weeks, vacation time aside? No. As long as you are receving compensation from your employer for leave time, your STD benefit wouldn't kick in. Why should your employer be required to pay you twice for the same time? That's exactly what I mean though...

What is the name of your state?IL I recently had a baby, and went into FMLA. At my place of work they require you to use your paid time, such as vacation, sick days, personal days, etc. before unpaid time during FMLA, so I actually got an advance on those days (what would add up to be 4 weeks...

Holiday Pay Last week there was mandatory overtime for 3 days and two holiday days. Thus people worked for 36 hours plus received two days of holiday regular pay. Are holiday hours overtime exempt? People ended up with 52 hour checks but all at regular earnings. Also, my supervisor just...

What is the name of your state? WI, but I work in IL My employer is requiring mandatory overtime shifts of 12 hours per weekday plus 8 hours on Saturday. Because some of us only have one or even no dependents the overtime pay ends up being more tax money. After too many hours of overtime we...
