Q. Do I have a legal claim against my company?

October 10, 2023

Appropriate corrective action could include removing you from the resident's rotation, or taking other action that would discourage future offensive conduct by the resident. Whether or not the company is liable to you would depend on whether the conduct by the resident is considered "severe and pervasive" by a court. You could contact an employment lawyer or file a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

A: It depends on the reason the company gave for your separation. If they told you that you were being released due to your health and age, then you may have a legal claim against them if you were still able to perform the essential functions of your position.

There are many common indicators of a false justification for an employee's discharge, and these are called "pretext." Pretext varies greatly depending on the circumstances and depends largely on the facts of the case. If you succeed in proving your claims, then you could be eligible for lost wages, liquidated damages, emotional distress damages, and other remuneration. ... Read More

A: Employers are limited with respect to items they are permitted to withhold from your paycheck. They are generally permitted to withhold certain taxes and benefits that you have agreed to. Otherwise, they are not permitted to withhold additional amounts without written authorization from you. In the event of a violation by the employer, the employee is eligible for triple the amount of unpaid wages in a lawsuit.
