Can a cashier for a large corporation be sued for false advertising if they were the ones that sold the item?

Answered 12 years and 4 months ago by William L. Sanders (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Employment

Shouldn't I be grandfathered in with my original employer, who obviously doesn't have this 7 year rule? Is my firing legal?

Answered 12 years and 5 months ago by William L. Sanders (Unclaimed Profile)   |   5 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Employment
No, you are not grand fathered in Not all discrimination is illegal. Requiring all employees to have a non-interrupted work history for the preceding 7 years is not illegal discrimination. There is no "Labor Board" in Georgia. There is the Board of Review of Ga DOL, but all they do is review unemployment decisions. There is the NLRB (National labor Relations board) but all they do are union related disputes, such as strikes, organizing unions, etc. No, no lawyer can help you. You have no grounds to sue.

Can I sue my CPA for filing tax late?

Answered 12 years and 5 months ago by Richard Baker, Jr. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Employment
Professional negligence claims (which you probably had) must be brought within one year of the date of the negligence, or within one year of the time you discover the oversight.

Who is responsible if a driver driving a company truck got pulled over?

Answered 12 years and 5 months ago by William L. Sanders (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Employment
I do not understand the question. The driver is ultimately responsible if he/she is driving without the proper credentials. The employer may share fault, but the driver is the one that gets the ticket. That is the law.

You can sue, but legal fees and costs will far outweigh the loaf of bread. Do you really want to pay $10,000 legal fees and costs to sue over a $3.00 loaf of bread?
