after an employee quits, Can a General manager talk to other employees and say things that aren't true about former employee to other current employe

Answered 11 years and 3 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer

I'm not sure what sort of employer/employee confidentiality you're referring to, but if the employer is saying untrue things (that is, false facts, not matters of opinion) which are damaging your friend's reputation, your friend may be able to sue the employer for defamation (libel is written defamation; slander is oral defamation.)...

Paid time off is not regulated by state or federal law.  It is a matter of contract between the employer and the employee.  Like most other agreements, an employer cannot normally modify the agreement "retroactively" without your approval. Depending upon your rate of pay, it may or may not make sense for you to get an attorney to help with your case.  Utah has small claims courts, precisely for the kind of case where a person can easily represent himself.  If there are other facts not stated in your question, or anything else that makes you think that you might have a much more significant claim, then you should talk to a lawyer to get advice specific to your situation....

can an employee take the same company to wage claims in 2 states?

Answered 13 years and 6 months ago by attorney Hilary B. Miller   |   1 Answer

This is a good question. The answer is that the employee has the power to file complaints with any state in which he was employed. However, he cannot recover unpaid wages more than once, and the fact that the employer has settled the claim in State 1 would generally be a defense to the claim in State 2. Moreover, if the claim is pending and unresolved in State 1, the employer may be able to have State 2 put its process on hold (a "stay") pending the resolution of the identical claim in State 2. Both states have the power to impose penalties and charges, in addition to directing the payment of back wages, with respect to misconduct occurring within their respective jurisdictions....

If my employer has not paid me for the hours that I have worked, do I have the right to keep the equipment given to me to perform my job?

Answered 13 years and 7 months ago by attorney Hilary B. Miller   |   1 Answer

Technically, not. You have the right to be paid and the duty to return your employer's equipment. If you have not been paid, you can complain to your state's labor department or file a civil suit to recover the amounts due you.
