     Materntiy Leave

     If the 50 employees are all within a 75 mile radius, it sounds like FMLA would apply. That being the case, your employer is legally obligated to return you to the same or a substantially equivalent position (same pay, same responsibilities, same benefits, etc.). What your employer is asking you...

     Illegal employee

     Before I answer your question, answer mine: 1. How do you know the employer is hiring falsely documented aliens? 2. Why do you think it's any of your business?

     Am I eligible for unemployment benefits?

     Whether you did or did not sign anything is irrelevant. As Beth stated, you either resigned or were terminated for job abandonment. Either way, you probably aren't eligible for UI benefits, but also, as Beth stated, only the unemployment adjudicator can really decide. Keep in mind, you also have...

     being denied opportunity to make higher wage

     And that's called lying and puts you and your new employer in a very precarious position. How? YOU are in a precarious position for lying on your application. When they find out (and they WILL find out), you will be fired. THEY are in a precarious position because they have a "no...

     Confused ! - Legal Action ?

     Your manager was certainly unprofessional, and as you stated, a "witch," but unfortunately, that isn't illegal. I don't see that anything illegal has happened here, assuming you received your final paycheck. However, that doesn't mean you have NO recourse. You certainly can - and IMO should -...

     Depression and termination

     I agree with the others. Just because you are disabled doesn't mean your employer has to allow you to have angry outbursts. However, they cannot accommodate a disability they know nothing about. You need to tell them, and you have to decide that you will never use your disability as an excuse...

     I quit 2 years ago but my ex-boss still calls me

     Have you contacted the police or filed for a restraining order? I am not sure about the exact legal definition of "stalker," but he might be a stalker and what he is doing might be illegal. I'd talk to the police.

     Late payment of salary

     If you have put all of Paragraph 1 in your post, it doesn't appear the company violated the agreement as that paragraph mentions nothing about when wages will be paid. With that said, however, I will tell you that IL only gives the employer 30 days from the date work was performed to pay you...

     You are not answering the questions posted. We need specific answers to cbg's very specific and clear questions. Trust me, the specific answers make a difference.

      Lowes background check

      Ok...I must be a dunderhead! What exactly is "obtaining cds fraudulently?" You mean a CD at a financial institution? Music CDs? Is that codeword for some medication I'm not familiar with? And what is a PTI? I need to hang out with more criminals! I don't know any of the lingo! :D

      Background/credit check before Interview?

      Have you asked them why they are requesting this information before they even know whether they are interested in hiring you or you know whether you are interested in continuing to pursue employment with them? It is nearly impossible to run a credit check without your knowledge/approval. They...

      maternity leave law. Please help

      Please allow me to play the Devil's Advocate here...although I agree with what cbg and Beth have said, I am not as certain as they are that this applies under FMLA. I know cbg and Beth are asking, "Why is that Suz?" ;) Although you mention this is a large chain store and they have over 100...

      Background Checks

      CBG, the OP mentions it was a ticket he/she received for not having the car registered properly (or not being able to prove that). It appears the OP submitted the information to the court proving proper registration, but not on time. This lead to the "failure to appear" warrant. I agree with...

      Please advise course of action

      This is a hard one to call. On the surface, it looks like your employer was asking you to do something illegal, you refused, and then you voluntarily left the position, which is the right thing to do (although personally I wouldn't have left until I had something else lined up). You don't give...

      job abandonment

      Short term disability is just a payment continuation insurance policy. I want to know how the employer is classifying your leave - as FMLA or just a medical LOA. Do you know? Again, the "type" of leave you are on matters here...not whether you are receiving pay while on leave.

      job abandonment

      First of all, are you on FMLA or just a LOA for this disability? And...does the "gofer" job involve a substantial cut in pay or benefits? Your answers make a difference to my answer.

      How does a person "accidentally" get pregnant? Didn't you know how babies are conceived?

      Child support increase and paypal fees...

      In Indiana all child support goes through CSE, and each year, the person who PAYS the support has to pay CSE a "fee" for processing these payments. My husband was granted custody of my stepdaughter in Dec. 2003, so I don't know what the fee was for 2004, or what it is for 2005, as his ex-wife...
