Q. I currently work at Pizza Hut as a crew member, can they withhold tips from employees?

December 3, 2024

A: It would be a good idea to speak with an attorney about the wage and hour/minimum wage laws in your jurisdiction (where you work). There may be violations of these laws. You could also raise this issue with the Department of Labor (Dol.gov) to bring up this issue. We wish you the best in your search for answers.

Q. Is it legal for a work place to publicly post employees names who did not receive the flu vaccination?

December 3, 2024

A: Good day. There may be potential violations of privacy or the employer's policy. It would be a good idea to seek legal counsel to discuss this as it may depend upon the jurisdiction you worked in and the laws of that jurisdiction. We wish you the best in your search for a resolution to your question.

Q. Can information never provided to me or signed by me be used against me in an unemployment appeal?

December 3, 2024

A: Sorry to hear about the loss of your job. The medical issue could potentially qualify you to make a claim under the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"). You will want to speak with a local attorney who practices in Employment law and discuss this further as well as the confidentiality matter. As to the unemployment issues, the employer likely had to show the reason why you were fired at the unemployment hearing, so they could show willful misconduct. If you had to go to court the employer would have to produce the reason again and you would need to address that in court or through briefing to a judge, for example. It would be best to get to a lawyer as soon as you can or contact the EEOC.gov to protect any interests you may have under the ADA, if any. Remember: there are very limited time frames to all employment claims so be mindful of that. Best wishes on finding justice in your situation. ... Read More
