Can the Employer ask me to work in the weekend?
Unless it states somewhere in a company handbook or it was stated from the beginning when you interviewed with them that they wouldn't ask or require you to work weekends, then they can ask you. Having weekend obligations, religious affiliations, health restrictions and the like can help you avoid being forced to work weekends. You might notice that people who are willing to work weekends might also receive more perks and promotions and are probably more tired and stressed out than you too. A lot of people work only part time for an employer these days in order to avoid becoming slaves to the company. You should make sure they have to pay you overtime if you work over 40 hours a week. I'd think twice about working for a company that puts working for them ahead of being with your family, keeping yourself healthy, etc...
My BF and I work in the same company. He received a pay raise in his first year and gets constant recognition. I was told to work harder and ignored by my supervisor. How do I try and support him without feeling so negative about the unfairness?
It sounds like you do not work in the same department. That right there could be part of the issue. Your supervisor could simply suck, while his boss could be a great leader. He could be supported, mentored, and guided by his boss, while your boss throws you the crappiest assignments, and nitpick your results.Or maybe he's just a really good worker and you need improvement.Do worry about supporting him aside from being proud of him. It sounds like he doesn't need much support. Instead, figure out how to improve at your own job. Maybe ask him his opinion on your situation with your boss. Sometimes an outside viewpoint can be helpful.It may be that you are not in a winnable position, an that leaving for a new company would be a better move.
Is it legal for my husband's job to force him to work a triple shift?
A little explanation on the situation is that he left at around 8:30 last night to go to work finish one job had to go back out at 3:50 a.m. which was only 20 minutes after he got off the first job then he finished that job at 11 a.m. and was then carted by the company van over to another job and he was told he did not have a say in whether he was going or not. Now this is where it gets tricky because a company van takes him back and forth to the jobs from a meet spot in town however he was paid for his time in that van so he's technically on the clock is he not? Because he doesn't get anything but hourly pay yet they claim he somehow exempt to being paid overtime after 8 hours in a day and after working 40 hours in a week and they also frequently around this time of year force him to do up to 90 hours in a week or more with no paid overtime it's all just the same wage. Could we have a case against the company for keeping him away from his sick homebound wife?
Can I sue my ex-husband to force him to refinance?
You have no legal interest in the house, having signed a quit claim deed. A quit claim deed says that you give up any and all claims to ownership of the house. You also signed a mortgage that said you would pay the loan (when you bought the house). Did your divorce decree list the house? Did it say that he was to get the house, and pay you a sum of money? Was the mortgage on the house even listed in the divorce papers? If the divorce order gave him the house, and was silent on the mortgage issue, he is not required to refinance. You could try to contact the mortgage company yourself (your name is still on the loan) to see if the payments are current, and if they would be willing to release you from the loan obligation. Most likely they will not, because there is no advantage to them in doing so! If the final divorce decree says that he is to remove your name form the house and mortgage, you can ask the court to enforce that clause! It sounds to me like you got some bad advice during your divorce. If you wanted your name off the house, and mortgage, you should have had that in the paperwork. Unless it is in the divorce decree, or the lender will release you from the loan, your best bet if you want to get out of the loan is to pay his refinancing costs!!
Ex-Husband moved back to Japan. How to claim child-support?
My Ex-Husband has taken a job in his home country (Japan) and now refuses to pay child support. He doe not work at a U.S company or have any association with the U.S any longer. We have been divorced 1 year and I didn't even know he was moving back to his country, but last week I tried calling his home but his phone was dissconnected. I called his friend and he told me that he moved abroad and wanted no association with me or our daughter any more. His friend refued to give me his number abroad. I had called since his last child supprt check didnt come in. -- I have a low paying job and will struggle greatly without this payment. What can I do??
My husband's paycheck doesn't match his working hours...?
Something is really wrong. My husband drives truck over the road and stays out 3 weeks at a time. He'll have 3 days off in between, which he comes home (mostly emotionally absent). He drives 48 states, gets paid 32c/mile. Last week he didn't get a paycheck. He said that they didn't do payroll because it was the week of the holidays. He said he would get that check together with this week's check. I looked online to see how much they deposited, he got $400 today. I definitely see something is very wrong there. He's also supposed to get a bonus from the holidays' week he worked, $300. Apparently he didn't get it either. I asked him to call payroll last week for 2 weeks now to ask what's going on, he said he always forget. He's behaving in such a matter of fact way, it amazes me. We're late in our mortgage 2 months and car payment too. I am working too, and he says I have to use my paycheck for bills too. Like, because I'm working it gives him the right to spend a lot of his money on the road. Ok, now... two weeks ago I finally saw his check stub, it shows that he took cash advances from his fuel card on the amount of $50 a DAY!! Now, I was over the road with him for a few months, and I know that we did not eat that much everyday, and we were 2 people. He told me he had to buy a few things for the truck (he's a company driver, therefore the company pays for everything for the truck, including fuel), but then he sends them the receipts for his truck expenses and they reimburse him. By looking at how much this week's paycheck was, I see that there were no reimbursements. So that leads me to think that he lied to me (as always). The company is pretty good at keeping track and reimbursing all the receipts of the drivers. Anyway, I'm tired to be made a fool of. I work hard for the little money I earn, I take good care of the house, I am a thrifty person, and I try to pay all the bills on time (when he leaves the money alone). His long trips/hours of work certainly are not matching his paycheck. I know he did have these trips because it also shows on his pay stub. I haven't seen his other pay stubs since 2 weeks ago. He probably have them hold it until he gets back so I would not see it. What else can I do about this situation? I'm so tired of this dilemma.... any good suggestions are appreciated. Thanks a lot.
A husband repeatedly turns down well-paying jobs that require him to work Saturdays because his religion forbids it. They can't afford to move to another place after their lease ends. What advice would you offer the wife if she asks for it?
I would tell her that she needs to make sure her husband is clear about his availability when he interviews so that the prospective employer is aware of this when they make their job offer decision. And then she should also advise her husband to look for companies that are considerate of religious needs and practices. She might also do some research in her area about labor laws and discrimination based upon religious practices and needs. She may find that her husband can accept a job as long as the company is willing to abide by labor laws that may protect his religious rights.
Does my husband's former employer have a right to sue him for downloading work after being let go?
If by "downloading work" you mean that after he was actually terminated and notified of that termination, he intentionally logged into his former employer's computing services and downloaded documents or other material belonging to his former employer? If so, not only can they sue him, but he probably committed at least one criminal act for which he can be prosecuted.I suggest you consult with an attorney, and for the love of Pete, stop talking about it on the Internet as anything further you say about this can be admitted into evidence against you or your husband.
My trainer during work forced me to shave during my shift. He escorted me to the bathroom and waited till I finished. Is that legal?
If you worked in the energy industry, especially at a facility where you might need to wear a respirator, you probably wouldn't have been given the option of shaving if you came to a facility with noticeable stubble. They make it clear as to what their expectations are before you arrive, and your not adhering to those expectations results in your being sent home or being "run off" (fired) from a job. At least your trainer provided you with a razor and some lotion, rather than sending you out on your own to purchase the toiletries with your own money and then requiring you to return and perform the task. While he possibly could have handled the situation better, he did make it clear what their expectations for the role are and you can now either adhere to them or find another role. You don't seem to have been able to put this incident in your past, so it would probably be better for you to find another role. This may not be the last time that you "forget" to shave before work and the next incident could result in a suspension or a termination. Why wait for that to occur when there are plenty of roles out there where you can go unshaven?
Can your employer make you pay your health insurance through them instead of buying through the ACA?
An employer can prevent an employee from enrolling their spouse if they are offered coverage through their own employer. Also an employer can mandate coverage if you don't qualify for an exception. Ie if you don't qualify for Medicare yet and have no coverage through spouse then they can by law require that you join their plan. This is because your employer is by law required to ensure you have a min. level of coverage. It'll be the min. Plan they offer, and should be free. However you can't decline it. Even if you could as I pointed out earlier, most employers will not allow a spouse to enroll if they could get coverage through their own employer, even if they can refuse it.
