See http://www.firstgov.gov\n\nLook under the Justice Dept site and the State Dept (thailand embassy) site.  They should have labor laws listed along with issues the US has reguarding the labor laws.

You do not have to take the job if you do not want to live there.  And you did not mention  if it says anything about a particular cohabitating partner. If it made a specific reference you would have to seek advice on another legal question. but if it is just co- habitation for anyone reguardless of race, religion, sex, etc, then it would be my opinion they have the right to say who  will live in the place and decide who they will hire

I think rent control ought to be law, It should be 1/4 of your pay a month. If your unemployed and collecting unemployment it should be 1/4 of that. If going to a lesser paying or more paying job it should be adjusted to that pay. Every body should have a right to live in a shelter dwelling. Than living on the streets. that will eliminate have of the homeless on the streets.

We don't have nearly enough information to answer your question.  Ask your manager.  If you think the answer is unfair, we can research the law, but we need details of your job and your location.

You may want to consider researching this info beforehand.\n\nRemember, It is up to the employer how you are paid for working on a Holiday even though there are state laws that they must abide by.\n\nCheck out this link regarding laws from your state:\nhttp://www.state.ar.us/labor/\n\nHope this info helps you.\n\nHave a wonderful Thanksgiving.\n\nGod Bless.....

You have protection under the American With Disabilities Act of 1991.  \n\n"Your employer must make reasonable accomodations" to you.\n\nHave you considered talking your supervisor to let them know how bad the situation is.  Sometimes people forget some of the challenges those with disabilities must endure.  Maybe a dialogue could solve the problem before the lawyers get involved.\n\nGood Luck.

Once again godoompah has shown us just how smart he is (or lack there of)  HAHA you are hilarious man, thanks for the good laugh.  As I mention below, don't believe godoompah, he shows an obvious lack of knowledge on the subject.\n\nTo start, godoompah is Wrong!  Labor laws are NOT definied by the US labor code (they are only on a very broad scale) but ARE handled on the state level.  As a matter of fact, California has the most strict labor laws in the country!  Despite what godoompah said, you are entitled to breaks if you are older than 18, he may be from a state where you don't get breaks there are some, but California is NOT one of them, they do enforce breaks for EVERYONE regardless of age.  As for overtime, well he has no clue about that either!  I don't know where he got his info but he is wrong.  Please disregard his comments as he obviously doesn't know what he is talking about\n\n\nFirst of all, it depends on whether or not you are an exempt employee, and no salaried does NOT automatically imply exemption.\n\nIn a restaurant the laws are clear for you to be exempt you must be a manager. \n\nSo assuming you are not except the laws in california are as follows.\n\nIf you work 5 hours or more you get a 30 minute meal break that is UNPAID.  You also get 1 10 minute break (not 15) that is PAID.\n\nIf you work more than 5 hours but less than 6 you may waive your right to a 30 minute meal break.  You can remove the waiving of your right to a break at anytime, so that you can take your break.  Inorder for the 'waiving' to be legal they must have a signature on file.\n\nIf you work 6 hours, you MUST take a 30 minute unpaid meal break, regardless of whether you want one or not.  At 7 hours you qualify for a second 10 minute PAID break.\n\nAs for the overtime, if you work more than 8 hours in 1 day, 40 hours in 1 week or 6 days in a row (meaning you worked on the 7th day) within a work week, then you get over time for all hours over that (for 7th day, they must pay you over time for the entire day plus every day after that until you get a day off or until the pay period ends).\n\nThis is all however different if you are Exempt, none of the overtime laws apply and the breaks work different.\n\nShould you find that your employer is in violation of these laws, it is not difficult to file a complaint with the labor department but you must be aware unless you are being seriously cheated often times it is not worth it.  Although they cannot retaliate againts you, they will, in one way or another.  So be prepared to fight it all the way.\n\nThe penalty for missing breaks is they must pay you 1 extra hour for each break you do not receive.

If you are a "night owl"...someone who is more awake in the evenings than early mornings, you should be ok as far as alertness.\n\nPlan for your lunch break...There's almost nothing open in the middle of the night to go get something to eat, and even if there is, your employer might not allow people out of the building for safety reasons.  If there is a kitchenett or microwave available, you can bring stuff from home and heat it up when you get your break.\n\nAre you going to be in a call center, or otherwise open to the public/wating on customers?  Be aware...you will probably have to deal with a lot of drunks after the bars close, and more than a few weirdos too.  As long as your workplace is in a fairly decent neighborhood it should be more amusing than dangerous.\n\nIf you are not going to have to deal with customers, then the boss is more likely than not to let you listen to your own type of music and/or wear whatever clothes you want...as long as the work gets done.  The first time someone slacks off because they are playing "air guitar" it will ruin things for everyone.\n\nRelax and take your time going home in the morning.  Be aware that everyone else is rushing to drop the kids of at school, find a parking space and get to work on time.  They will be stressed out, and more likely to try to start a fight with you.  You'll be tired, but you will have more time to spare to get home. Unless you are in the main downtown area, you should have a "reverse commute" so traffic shouldn't be much of an issue for you either driving or taking public transportation.\n\nThe most important thing to worry about is getting enough UNinterrupted sleep during the day. Make sure ALL of your family and friends know enough NOT to call you AT ALL during your sleeping time.  If they don't respect that, get an answering machine and turn off the telephone's ringer. Or just unplug the phone. Don't be afraid of being a little bit rude if you need to...remember, the alternative is getting fired because you make too many mistakes on the job.\n\nI hope you end up liking this job, and it works out well for you!

Employers are required to pay overtime in most cases.  There may be exceptions to this if you are working 24-hour shifts where you're allowed to sleep during the night . . . at which point they can legally pay you for 16 hours of sleep, as long as they providing your room and board at no cost during your work time.  \n\nSince this can vary slightly from state to state, the best advice I could give you is to call your department of labor, and ask them.  If you don't want to open a can of worms where your employer finds out and is upset, ask them the same question anonomously.  \n\nThe other question I would ask is, regardless of the answer, is this work you're happy doing?  The "red flag" that jumps out at me in all this is whether you will end up burning out if you are workng that many hours, particularly if you are routinely working in excess of 50 hours.  What are you doing to take care of yourself, because you can't effectively take care of others, if you're not taking care of yourself.  \n\nTake it from someone who knows . . . both from experience and as soon who works in the same field as a Human Resources Director for a homecare agency.  \n\nBest of luck.

Your employer is required to either hold your position for you or have a similar one available (same pay... equivalent), although that might depend on your state of residence.  I would check your local laws, you may be able to sue them.

there are no laws... but in the employer's policies there might be something about being sent home early.  Like where I work, we do not have to go unless we want to and they can not work us less than 4 hours unless we want to work less.

document document document!! everything and go to your cities labour board. ( in Canada) They will start a claim on your behalf and investigate and should you need a lawyer they can provide one for you as well (not sure if its free or a nominal fee) but talk to them first they really are there to help employees. also get all your pay stubs in order and your record of employment they will need to see them and any witnesses you might have. If they decide in your favour they will come after your employer for unpaid wages, holiday pay severance pay etc. they can garnish the accounts for you once you get the labour board involved im sure you employer will come to their senses and pay up. Send in writing to your employer a formal request for all sums owed to you keep a copy for yourself date it make sure you give that to your case worker as well. g/l
