The definitions of the establishment's responsibility for a drunk patron are fuzzy.\n\nA bartender is obligated to cut-off a person that they perceive to be intoxicated. However, this is a vague definition. The bartender may not notice that you are slurring, for example, if he doesn't pay attention to your conversations. It often boils down to one person's word against another. \n\nThe result of this law is that if you were to get in a wreck and hurt someone, THAT person could sue the establishment for negligence. However, you will not be held blameless, either. If you kill someone, you could be charged with vehicular manslaughter or vehicular homicide. You could be charged with attempted v. mansl. or attempted v. homicide if you only hurt someone. That's a criminal charge, whereas the charge of negligence would be a civil matter. The establishment would also likely be fined and be in danger of losing their liquor license.\n\nYou cannot sue the bartender or the establishment for damages because you got a DUI. Getting a DUI is YOUR fault and you are on your own. It's only when there's some kind of harm to an innocent that an establishment can be held responsible for personal damages. You can file a complaint with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) and they will investigate and possibly impose fines or suspension of the liquor license. Not likely, though.\n\nIt happens often that people get visibly drunk in bars. And, it happens often that people hurt others in accidents as a result. The problem is proving that the bartender knew that the person was drunk. Another problem is proving where the person got drunk in the first place. If they can't remember leaving the bar, then it isn't likely that a jury or a judge would accept their claim that they remember where they got drunk in the first place. Many people bar-hop, for instance. What if you went somewhere else after you left that bar? You see the problem. Many people that get in trouble will also not "rat" and will say that they don't remember where they have been or that they were drinking at home.\n\nI could keep going, but this is getting long...

there are a few things you can do: go to the court house and get a garnishment /execution paper and run a cash drawer levy on them. other than that since you are in cali the laws might be different but you could also run a asset levy against the co. checking acct if you can find it

define private function please. if your saying a party w/ beer being served or wine. your better off hiring security officers. most depts wont allow there officers to work party's if beer is being served. now if your asking about say an auction and proceeds going to Jerry's kids or something like that. wouldn't cost you much or anything. \n\neach dept rates and rules vary. your looking from $25-100 an hr per officer.  best thing to do is call them. if the fee is to high call security company's and ask for a price quote.

I have been a cocktail waitress off and on for about 6 years and I once bartended for a year.\nI am currently not working as I have just had a baby and havent worked since I got pregnant-\nBut when I plan to go back to work part-time it will be as a server. \nTherefore I would sign a petition like that in a hearbeat even if I had no plans to work in that possition again -\ni have always believed that is it unlawful to pay us server below minium wage just because we make tips (which we have to claim and pay taxes on) so it is unfair on many levels.\nYES sometimes the tips are outstanding during certain seasons -but what about those slow months  (and I do mean months) there were times when I barely made $200.oo per week -if it weren't for my Fiance' and his job I would have struggled even more - \n\n1.    I'm not really sure what I could suggest to get such a law changed -but maybe if they could just acknowledge to make a change in the wages atleast during the slow seasons (of your particular region) to raise it to no less than minimum wage when things are slow and drop back to server wage when things are rockin' - I'm sure companies would keep employees much monger than they do now - It would kind of be like a give and take situation. But honestly it needs to be atleast minimum wage plus tips all the time. \n\n2.    Or heres an idea maybe servers wage could be changed to whatever the minimum wage was last before it was changed recently - so that we would still be below minimum but atleast close enough to it so that it is not that much of a difference  but employers can still afford to pay it. Each time minimum wage increases us servers would only be 1 buck behind -and that 1 buck really adds up fast so thats alot an employer would still be saving. This would make our pay checks a little nicer to supplement those days when we dont quite cut it with tips. Like days when you go home with $11.50  after 8 or even ten hours work  and get your paycheck that follwing week for a total of $125.00 -how are you suppossed to live off of that?? - This should NOT be happening nowadays!!!What do you think???

Once the bankruptcy case is filed your wages CANNOT be garnished by an ordinary creditor.  At that point, only taxes or court ordered child support can be garnished from your wages.  Those items cannot be discharged by bankruptcy.

Yea they can. States laws are different but here in Alabama.  First they will serve you with papers.  You can either go before the judge and plead your case (which I recommend) or do nothing and the company will get default judgement on you.  Once they get that after 14 days they can file for garnishment and take 25% of your paycheck until the debt is paid.\n\nGo in front of a judge and plead your case.  Its the only shot ya have.

In California, the judgment creditor cannot garnish more than 25% of your net pay.  If they start a wage garnishment against you, you and your employer will receive documents that show much should be withheld from your paycheck.\n\n25% is the maximum, but the court can also order that a lesser amount be withheld.  If the garnishment will leave you without enough money for necessities such as rent and food, the court can reduce or eliminate the garnishment.  However, it will be up to you to file the proper paperwork with the Sheriff and the court once the garnishment starts.

In Florida, this is handled free by the state government. I'm quite sure the laws are similar in other states. Check your state's official website.

The Fair Labor Standards Act (or FLSA) of 1938 is United States federal law. The FLSA established a national minimum wage, guaranteed time and a half for overtime, and prohibited most employment of minors. The law originally contained a large number of special industry exemptions, many of which were designed to protect traditional pay practices in small, rural businesses. The bulk of these exemptions have been repealed. Currently, the most important issues relate to the so-called "white collar" exemptions applicable to professional, administrative and executive employees.\n\nThe FLSA is administered by the Wage & Hour Division of the United States Department of Labor, which conducts audits and workplace inspections. The Administrator of the Wage & Hour Division has no unilateral enforcement authority, but may bring a lawsuit in federal court. As a practical matter, this is relatively rare. The FLSA provides for direct federal actions by employees, and offers substantial financial incentives for private litigants and their counsel.\n\nThe most contentious issues in recent years relate to technical employees, such as computer programmers, who have a significant degree of specialized knowledge without formal academic credentials. Such employees often exercise no direct management or even administrative authority, and so are arguably ineligible for any of the FLSA white collar exemptions. By legislative amendment, some employees of this sort are now exempt from the overtime provisions of the FLSA, but many unsettled issues remain.\n\nOn August 23, 2004, controversial changes to the FLSA's overtime laws went into effect, making substantial modifications to the definition of an "exempt" employee. These changes were sought by business interests and the Bush administration, which claimed that the laws needed clarification and that few workers would be affected. But other organizations, such as the AFL-CIO, claimed the changes would make millions of additional workers ineligible for overtime.

I don't believe they can. The court should be sending a notification to your employer regarding the garnishment, how much, and where to send it, but No, I don't believe it is legal for your HR Department to send out any personal information on you to anyone.

It depends on the state in which you are employed and whether or not you are a salaried or an hourly employee.  Different states have different regulations.  California, for instance, generally does not allow docking a salaried employee's pay.  You can contact the Labor Commissioner's office for your state and they will tell you whether or not what happened to you is legal in your state.

It depends on the order of the court.  They can garnish your wages or seize your property depending on how much you owe and what the debt is for.

normally no. they usually dont garnish your wages. Hardly any debts are garnishable if you are the head of household except if you owe the IRS they will garnish your wages for debts owed. Its a good idea though to attempt to pay your debts even if it means paying less than is owed until you pay them out.

I'm not sure where you are, but here in Georgia it is up to you and the creditor to work it out. \n\nI work in collections and usually when I win the case the judge will allow us to work out the payment plan there and he will write it up and all parties including the judge will sign it. If the customer defaults on these arrangements, then I can get a garnishment or levy with not problem.
