Can my employer press charges for theft?
If your employer actually has evidence of you doing what you said, he can make a complaint to the Police. They will charge you.it is called larceny as a servant. If is regarded very seriously by society, particularly if you are in a position of trust. It is not uncommon for a Magistrate or a Judge to pass a full-time sentence of imprisonment in respect of this type of larceny [stealing]. I doubt you would be locked up for $900, but it is stI'll regarded serioulsy. The court will also make an order that you reimburse the employer.there are other social ramifications because even in 2017 trust is so important. You will have difficulty obtaining employment; no one likes the idea of working with a ‘theif’….and it’s not discrimination.so, if you have the opportunity to pay and avoid all of these problems, for $900, take it. You will never get a better offer.
Can someone sue their employer if they don't receive their W2?
No, you cannot sue your employer if they fail to provide you a W-2 by January 31. However, you do have the option of reporting your employer to the Internal Revenue Service, which will most likely investigate why your employer has not issued you a W-2. Additionally, if you do not receive your W-2 by March 1, you have the option of applying for a tax refund filing extension through the IRS. This postpones the due date of your tax refund forms until September 1 of the year. A good rule of thumb is to contact your employer's Human Resources department if you have not received your W-2 by January 31. Your employer is required by federal law to mail them out no later than that date. If you still haven't received your W-2 by the end of February, you should request another copy from your employer.
My employer said he no longer needed my services. I haven't been paid an over two weeks. What can I do. He did?
Stop contacting your employer. First, go on-line to the unemployment web-site and apply for unemployment. You are entitiled to it since your boss said he no longer needed your services. Provided you were not paid under the table, you are entitled to collect unemployment. You will need information such as company name, company address, company phone, start date, last day you worked, last paycheck you received (when and how much), and the reason why you no longer are employed. Unemployment has no authority when it comes to your employer not paying you for services that you provided. In order to receive pay that was not paid to you for services you provided, you will have to file a complaint with the Department of Labor and if they find that the Employer is not practicing proper business ethics, they will represent you (the employee) and the employer will end up paying you the salary he stiffed you and any other expenses that the Labor Board feels he is responsible for as well he will be fined and have a terrible time continuing business.
What does it mean when a prospective employer calls your references?
I interviewed for a new job last week. They asked me back for a second interview next Friday. I just found out that they also called my references. I've heard that its only proper etiquette to check the references of someone you are planning to offer a job. Is this correct? Or do employers typically check the references of 3-4 candidates?
What does it mean when an employer doesn't get back to me after a final round interview? I'm mature enough to assume that 7 days with no response means "No", but I don’t understand why they won’t simply tell me they're declining to hire me.
It means absolutely nothing. (And, certainly, 7 days with no response does not mean rejection! 7 days is a very normal amount of time.)There are a lot of reasons why an employer might not respond. One is that you've been rejected and they just don't want to deliver bad news. But that's not the normal case.One of your interviewers went on vacation immediately after your interview, and they have to wait for her to return in order to discuss your interview.Three other candidates are interviewing for the same position. Because of final exams, one of these candidates won't be able to interview for another several weeks.They're waiting to see if their next round of funding will come in and your offer hinges on that.They are giving you an offer, but they need to get your salary approved.They're calling some additional references that you haven't listed and don't even know about.One of their employees is leaving, and this will cause a minor reorg. This probably won't impact whether or not there's an open position, but there's a small chance it could.The company is dealing with coordinating their next round of funding, firing a key employee, a new product release, two potential new partnerships, and four other candidates in the pipeline. Each of these have dozens of emails that associated with them, and they just haven't gotten the time to respond to you.I've never heard of a company that has a practice of not notifying candidates when they are rejected. It wouldn't make sense. They'd piss off candidates and only increase their workload in dealing with additional emails.However, delays happen -- and sometimes people are just forgetful. For you, this is the most important thing in going on in your life. For the company, it's just not. They have a lot of work to do -- you're just one more thing to deal with.Many candidates feel that they see a pattern that no response = rejection, because they don't hear back for a while and then they eventually find out they're rejected. Yes, but, 80 - 90% of candidates are rejected regardless. "No response" only means rejection to the extent that an interview means rejection -- which is to say that it doesn't.Do not assume that no response = rejection. It doesn't. It could mean an offer, it could mean rejection, but more likely it means nothing at all. Follow up, and continue to follow up. After 5+ weeks, then you might want to back off.
What happen if u lose a job before closing date?
Do your best to maintain your job at this point while looking for another job. You may want to consider getting 2nd job at this point just in case. More than likely, the loan company is not going to ask you. They may find out and the deal will fold. Some companies are known to check the day of closing. Remember you could lose your job immediately after closing and be in the same predicament. You would have to decide if you willing to take the risk. If you are willing, use the "don't ask don't tell" policy.
My employer is not paying my salary. What should I do?
I request you to approach your employer once and discuss about the salary.Directly walk into your office and approach HR Manager. If the manager directly says that they cannot give the salary and the relieving letter, then tell them that your going to complain about this in the labour office.They might be asking some time to give the salary and the relieving letter. If they tell you that they need one week of time then make sure your taking it in written. That promising letter must contain your name and employee id, manager signature, promising date and also the organisation stamp. Those idiots will definitely not agree to give it in return but don’t agree with them until they do so.If they don’t give your salary on the promising date, then just call and inform them for the final time and directly approach your nearby labour office. They will ask you the proof of your employment with your company, so carry your offer letter, pay slips, ID card xerox if you have any and the necessary documents of proof.I suggest you to give a written complaint in the labour office and they will definitely take the necessary action.All the best!
The company closed down and is not paying our due salaries. What do I do?
closing down of companies is by winding up of various modes. i can make out with ur illustration that this is ill motivated intentional to close down the company.winding up proceedings start and then official liquidator would be announced and he take out all creditors, workmen dues and other dues like taxes etc everything would be placed before official liquidator.you approach official liquidator of companies act. if the winding up petition is pending also, you could be added as party and claim your entitlement ( i mean entitled wages/ salary). under section 529A of companies act, 1956 there is preference to disbursement of payment to workers at first instance,then only it would be distributed to any other. if fraud has not been played by company stating that the workmen wages are paid, definitely Official Liquidator would call and give your share.if it is declared as sick industry by BIFR (Board of industrial and financial reconstruction). you could approach tribunal constituted under sick industrial companies act through same procedure i.e by filing application before tribunal.if company is wound up and OL ( official liquidator) has distributed all assets and remaining asset were sold and the dues would be put in account of central government account.then you have to approach High court under 555 (7) of companies act by making official liquidator as party and ask for payment. WHY high court? as per section 10 subsection (1) clause(a), high court has original jurisdiction and under sub-section (2) if government has designated any district for that matter. but usually high court
Can I sue my employer for not giving me my W2 on time? It is mid-February and I still don't have it.?
Yes, there are a number of things you can do. 1) Call the IRS and let them know that your employer STILL has not distributed Forms W-2 as of (date). 2) Find the LAST pay-stub you received in Calendar Year (CY) 2009 and begin preparing your taxes. Remember, individual taxpayers are assumed to operate on a CASH basis, so your taxes for any given Tax Year (TY) will be based on the income RECEIVED during that CY. Thus, your last pay-stub for any earnings received by December 31 should have your total Year-to-Date (YTD) earnings as well as your withholding for Federal Income Tax, FICA-OASDI, FICA-HI, State Income Tax (if any), Local (County or Municipal) Income Taxes (if any). 3) If you still don't have your Form W-2 by the time you are ready to file, include a note to the IRS indicating that you STILL haven't received your Form W-2 as of (date). 4) If you are eligible to e-File, you will not need to send in a physical copy of your Form W-2. Glossary: TY = Tax Year CY = Calendar Year FICA-OASDI = Federal Insurance Contribution Act-Old Age, Survivors, Disability Income FICA-HI = Federal Insurance Contribution Act-Health Insurance (Medicare) FICA-OASDI is what is often referred to as "Social Security." Also, note that in some areas, there are income taxes levied at the city and county level as well as the state and federal levels. Depending on where you are, you may have to prepare as many as 4 tax returns. P.S. Yes, you can attempt to sue your employer, IF you can get an attorney to take your case, and IF the court will accept the filing, and IF the presiding judge doesn't pitch the case out.
