I have asked for a copy of an employees handbook and been refused. What can I do and what are my rights on this subject?

Your boss definitely has to give you a copy of an employee handbook and some companies make you sign the copy and turn in. If your are refused a copy see the boss above.  You might have to keep going higher to another source but you should report it. It is against company policy to be refused a copy of an employee handbook in case you go against policy and are fired for it or just get in trouble you can refuse to sign a right up slip and can take a case to court in case of termination because you had no idea what that policy consisted of.

The asking questions to the server manager will work.  The\n   question is not in faq, the question should be:  Can I get the\n   report of my file held(date) on my service in print.  Offer to pay\n   up to ten dollars. At least that is how my office does recover\n   buddies, I have 40 people that might encounter this problem.\n   We got response right thru email your questions to aim.

My experience has been that about half will ask for a copy of your dergree upon signing your contract.\n\nKeep in mind that if you lie about this, it'll always be grounds to fire your ass if they ever find out.

Have you actually talked to the manager of the store?  Make copies of all your receipts and insist on talking to the manager in person.  Have copies of the receipts with you.  What probably happened is that you got charged by mistake with a late payment fee or something like that.

Call your employer and ask for another copy ASAP.

Chase up your employer and ask him to return the form !\nAsk for an interim or emergency payment.

I was an HR Director for about 10 years, although in California and Texas, not Washington. Anyhow, it's been a while, but here goes... Technically you were insubordinate and it is likely that the unemployment officer who officiates over the phone hearing will not believe that you meant anything else by saying d*ck in an e-mail (about someone who I presume is your boss). That said, I am wondering if they actually have your signature on anything that says that you are aware that "they" (your employer) have the right to read and monitor electronic mailings sent by you. Unless they (or you since you were the office manager) are very organized they may have trouble coming up with this paperwork. They need this in order to read your electronic communications and I would bring this up to the officer unless you know for sure that they have it and can easily access it. Also, I am wondering if there is any defense you might have with regards to why you said it or the context in which it was said. Additionally, has there ever been a time that you are aware of when "they" may have set a different precedent by not firing/terming someone based on this sort of insubordination? In other words, where someone else called  a manager a name of sorts, but were either not disciplined or disciplined without termination. I also have to wonder why your employer was able to read this e-mail (did someone show it to him or did you leave your computer on) and why he bothered to log on to your computer if that's what he did? Typically, I wouldn't do this unless I had it in for the person and usually that would mean a series of write ups (I'm a GM/PM now so I still have a number of reports and remember my HR days well). Unfortunately, most companies have a policy saying that they can terminate with no notice based on certain acts, one of which is insubordination. Still, I agree with you that he sounds like a jerk if this is all he had. He would have done better to call you in and find out why you felt like that, thereby trying to find a fix for the situation and gaining your loyalty if he succeeded. Good luck!

You need to request copies from the employers who gave them to you.

Whoever said contact your local trading standards gave a good answer, but another approach within the company is to write directly to the CEO (Managing Director).  You will have to research his/her name and contact details but go to the top and support your complaint with copies of your evidence.  \n\nIf that doesn't work, outside agencies are the only alternative.\n\nAddition:  Have you noticed that all the answers here have received negative ratings?  Obviously an airline employee with too much time on their hands at work, rather than getting on with it and dealing with complaints like yours.

It is illegal to MAKE a copy, regardless if you sell it or not.\nThe section is:\nUSC 17 106-1.\n[1]

Try the EEOC.  The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.  They are a division of the Department of Labor and handle discrimination cases and hostile work environment situations.  If it is an issue with pay or employees working off of the clock, the Department of Labor in your state would handle it.  \n\nAlso, try going to Human Resources first and make sure to document it.  (Who, when, what, where, why)  It is the job of Human Resources to handle internal complaints.  If they retaliate against you (illegal) and you document all of the above, you have a more solid claim with the EEOC.

Do you have a Union to represent you? If so, contact them. Otherwise, I would suggest the Bureau of Labor Relations, or some agency that deals with workers rights.\nGood luck!

I am not a lawyer, but I do work in H.R. As far as I know, there is no law that requires an employee handbook.

Your employer has restricted your access so that you cannot change it - just ring the help desk and explain the problem to them.  They should be able to reset it for you - its no big deal.

Start looking for a new job now.\n\nAlso start documenting everything.  If you have any specific evidence, preserve it, and keep a copy.  If not, just write it down with specific dates.  \n\nSpeak with an attorney.  I'm not saying you need to sue, but you should know your rights.  If you're too poor to afford your own attorney, there are usually places you can get free legal aid or legal advice.  You can usually get numbers with a Yahoo or Google search, or Yahoo Yellow Pages.  Or through a community center.  \n\nKnow who your friends are.  Don't make a big issue of it, but try to get an idea of whether there are people over your supervisors who might be on your side, or coworkers who might speak up on your behalf if you need them to.\n\nBe as polite as you think you can to everyone involved, including the people who are hassling you--but don't let yourself be walked on.  \n\nAnd when you think you've been wronged, get a second opinion from a friend whose opinion you trust (someone outside the workplace, so it won't get back to you).  \n\nGood luck!

Tell your boss.  If that doesn't work, then tell their boss and so forth... If all that fails, then look for a legal solution -- file a formal complaint -- in short, do something about it.\n\nIn the meantime, while you're working on all that -- it might be a good time to find another position in that company or a new job -- Noone should have to put up with that abuse. \n\nGood luck!

It's absolutely illegal in every state to have a falsified court document. If it's not your fault, contact the workers supervisor and asked to have it straightened out. You don't want it coming back to haunt you.
