Breach of Contract?
First, before you can sue for Breach of Contract you need to show that you had a contract . Second you also need to show that you approached your employer BEFORE you quit and challenged him on the fact that conditions of your contract were in conflict. The employer could always say they were going to get around to it but you quit before they could implement the program. If other cases of the same infraction are on the books your may have an opportuntiy to join in a class action lawsuit ....many people claiming the same thing. This is a more powerful complaint, and cheaper for you and the other members of the class because you divide the cost of any legal fees. It also is more difficult for a defendant (your employer) to refute the claims if a large number of people all have the same issues. If you know the person filing a previous lawsuit, find the same attorney they used. Much of the leg work in filing the previous lawsuit would have already been done....and the lawyer may have the option to work you into a class action against the employer. There are also precedences in may states now that show if you were provided with an employee handbook or company rules and regulations as part of your interviewing process....that handbook and set of rules are a binding contract. For instance if the rule book said you were to get annual performance apprasials and you did not....the company violated their own policy...and hence a contract with you when you accepeted employment under the conditions of the company rule book.
Can i be sued by my employer for contract breach?
They can claim any of the costs in training you, training a new person, costs of finding a new person, etc Basiclly anything they provided under the contract is game for them to ask back since you broke the contract. In general though 1)They'll have to try and mitigate the losses by trying to get someone to fill your job, if they don't find someone for the remaining term of the contract you can be liable for the losses they suffer 2)They can ask to be paid for legal expenses to collect, and basiclly any form of compensation they gave you except for your wages. ie they paid to move your there, paid for you to goto a class to learn how to do a job function, etc can be possibly taken back. The only thing they can't take back for sure is your wages.
Breach of contract with my employer?
I think that there are a couple of possibilities. If you were not paid for the internship, you probably should have been. What you were doing does not seem to meet the criteria for being a legal unpaid internship because it wasn't a learning experience. The IRS is quite concerned about such internships. You might be able to sue your employer for back pay (assuming that you weren't paid, of course). You can learn more about this issue here: http://newworkplace.wordpress.com/2012/0... Your school also had some responsibility for what happened (or didn't happen). They should have known what you were and weren't doing as a part of your internship, and they should have intervened when you weren't being given the kind of tasks you were supposed to be doing. They were, after all, collecting tuition. You need to talk with a attorney about your situation. Find one who will not charge for an initial consultation and make an appointment. If the attorney cannot help you, he or she can probably refer you to someone who can.
Can I sue UPS for a breach of contract and damages?
I went to UPS store to send some documents to another country in the middle east. The documents were suppose to reach there in 5 business day in order for the partner who is an ambassador to have a meeting with a financial companies who were going to finance my new invention. First before entering into shipping contract with UPS I asked them how many days it will take to get there, they told me 3 business days of course which was also stated in their receipt. After the shipment, The documents could not get to the destination within the three days...I started calling UPS with the tracking number and they kept on giving me different excuses and new date. In total, they gave me two new dates of which I informed the party and he also informed the financiers but at the end of the day, the documents could not arrive and ups has no tangible explanation either then telling me it miss a flight. For up to the time of writing this post, the documents are sitting somewhere in another country on the tracking number and this has cause a lot of problems. 1. The financiers lost interest in the deal because we have set different dates which was not materialize. 2. The ambassador has lost his image with the financiers because they don't believe I have sent the documents and they spend money to come and wait for the meeting which never materialize 3. My reputation has been ruined with both the financiers and the embassy 4. The documents that were sent through UPS comprised my new invention which is not suppose to be seen by a third party so I am afraid if they open it somewhere, or if my mistake it get lost someone could stole my invention. in regards to this, I want to know if I can sue UPS for: Damages and bridge of contract? Note: on the 11th day after the UPS shipment, I was force to re-ship another copies of the documents by fedex to the embassy and it only took 3 days for fedex to deliver it and by this time just to prove to the embassy that i wasn't lying but then the harm has already been done. the financiers wouldn't return again.
Can an employer sue an employee for fraud after their resignation and full and final settlement?
In my opinion employers will not do as its their rapport, which is at stake. However if they can prove without any shackle of doubt about the discrepancy they may also do so.
My previous landlord breached a contract and I feel the need to sue how do I go about that?
It depends on what you’re trying to recover, and how important it is that you win.If you’re not really that concerned with the money, and just want to learn about the system, filing the suit yourself in Small Claims may make sense. There is a limit to what you can recover, though - usually not more than about $7,000.If you desperately need the money, and need to win, and it’s a sizeable amount you’re seeking to recover ($20,000 or more), you need to hire an attorney. You might not even realize how much money you are entitled to recover until you at least consult with an attorney.Would you operate on yourself? Would you build your own house? Would you extract your own teeth? Sure, historically people have done those things. But if you really want the best possible outcome, and the amount is at all significant, you hire a professional. The legal system is complicated, and you will make mistakes if this is something you’ve never done before. There will be deadlines you don’t know about, rules, formatting…. If winning is at all important to you, hire someone who does this every day, and knows what they are doing.
Can I sue my former employer if I was not paid for a month?
Yes you can this is not uncommon, but punitive damages are not available in breach of contract cases. What you can do if there are enough employees is seek a class action lawsuit against the employer for back pay. Back pay is explained here Back Pay Lawyers and class action is explained here. What Are Class Action Lawsuits? This situation is not uncommon and if you worked you need to be paid.
Can I sue my employer for lying about my pay?
I applied for a job online and it said $10/hr. Later I was hired for that job and even in the interview they also told me the pay was $10/hr. It's been 6 paychecks later and I've been getting paid $8.50/hr. I addressed this concern to my employer and he agreed to the mistake and said he would fix it, but he never did and I'm still getting paid $8.50/hr. He also told me that I should get paid the difference owed from all 6 paychecks that were not paid at $10. So he knows he owes me money but still won't fix my pay. What can I do to have him pay what I was supposed to be getting paid since I was hired?
Can you sue your ex-employer for asking you work related questions after firing you?
There’s nothing that prevents a former employer from calling you and asking for assistance. You are, of course, under no obligation to answer such questions unless you have agreed to do so as part of a severance package or something similar.My suggestion would be to tell them that you will answer any such questions to the best of your ability at a rate of $250 an hour, minimum billable time 1 hour, and that by calling you to ask a question, they consent to these terms. If you send them this in writing, and they still call you, you can bill them at those rates, and if they don’t pay, then you can sue them, for breach of contract.Otherwise, you don’t really have much to stand on, unless the calls are so pervasive or offensive as to constitute telephone harassment. You may want to consider having their phone numbers blocked; most carriers will allow you to block numbers you don’t want to receive calls from.
