Can an employee be asked to sign a document stating they cannot sue employer for anything?

Answered 12 years and 3 months ago by William L. Sanders (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Employment
This is likely legal. Some items may be waived, some may not. In Ga, this would not impact her ability to file a workers comp or an unemployment comp suit. If she filed an EEOC claim, and were discharged, then this retaliation would be serious. But, other than these items, employees have little grounds to sue the employer any way. And if all they do is dismiss her, then it is completely legal, except as above.... Read More

Is there anything I can do if I was fired from my job due to loss of license?

Answered 12 years and 3 months ago by Mark T. Peters, Sr. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Employment
First, if you need pro bono help, you need to contact your local bar association. Second, if the license was required for you to do your job, then I don't know if there is much that you can do about it.

Can an employer force you to work over 40 hours a week when you sign a contract that you will only be working 40 hours a week?

Answered 12 years and 3 months ago by William L. Sanders (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Employment
I would need to read that contract to answer your question. More than likely, the contract gives the employer the right to change hours, etc. You should work the hours. If you do not, you will be seen as not a team player. Actually, you will not be a team player. This will eventually cost you the job, and you will be unemployed. Support your employer - do not bite the hand that feeds you.... Read More

Is this a coerced Severance Agreement?

Answered 12 years and 3 months ago by Nathan James Wagner (Unclaimed Profile)   |   5 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Employment
An employer can put a time limit on the acceptance of a severance agreement without violating the law. I don't know of a reason that the agreement would be nullified by the time limit for acceptance.

Should I be paid overtime for the extra shift I was asked to work?

Answered 12 years and 3 months ago by William L. Sanders (Unclaimed Profile)   |   6 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Employment
The employer may, in GA, change your schedule to avoid overtime. Perfectly legal. I do not know the answer to this: As a registered nurse, is there a maximum number of days I can work in a row? I think not, but I do not know. I suggest you contact the board that grants you your license and ask them.... Read More

Should I be paid overtime for the extra shift I was asked to work?

Answered 12 years and 3 months ago by John F Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)   |   6 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Employment
No, generally there is no maximum number of days you can work in a row. If you work over 40 hours a week, in Michigan, you are entitled to overtime. As a registered nurse, if you are not happy with your current employer, there are plenty of open positions in the marketplace.

Am I obligated to pay for work that was done if I found out after that the company was unlicensed?

Answered 12 years and 3 months ago by William L. Sanders (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Employment
I do not know the answer to your question with certainty. Generally, in GA, you can not use something like that as a defense, unless it was the proximate cause of actual damages that you suffered, as a result of their lack of license. You would not have a fraud claim, unless they represented that they were licensed, knew you would rely on that mis-representation, you in fact did rely on that representation, and suffered damages because of that misrepresentation. However, one could argue that you failed to exercise due diligence yourself.... Read More

Answered 12 years and 3 months ago by John F Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Employment
I would think yes, their problems are theirs with the regulatory authorities. That you got what you wanted and are satisfied with the work should tell you the regulation (and additional cost it would have visited upon you) was unnecessary. That you got the benefit for your bargain creates a moral, and most probably legal, obligation to pay for it.... Read More

Answered 12 years and 4 months ago by Atty. Richard F. Rice (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Employment
From the information you provided, you have not been "convicted" so you would answer "no" to any question asking if you have a "conviction".
