TX is a right to work state so you are NEVER guaranteed a job/benefits unless you have a written contract.  Since your job was in TX, TX law governs the labor law.  Since TX is right to work it will be hard to prove that anything done was illegal unless it was done in retailiation for illegal reasons. (ie retailiated against because of using FMLA leave, etc)  Also the 10k bonus plan is just that a bonus plan, unless you meet all the qualifactions for getting the 10k then they of course don't need to pay you, and again unless there was a contract they can cancel any plan they choose.

Simply ask them what they will offer.  Decide if it is enough.  If not tell them you will be getting an atorney.  Give them one more chance, then get an attorney.

I can't recommend anyone, since I live in New Jersey, but I am listing Websites you can browse to find lawyers that might suit you.\nI would begin with writing out a list of questions you want to ask each firm you interview with on the phone:\nWhat is their experience and success rate?\nHow much to they typically get for their clients?\nDo they have experience in your type of case or similar cases?\nWhat do they charge and if it is free, what percentage do they collect fomr the judgment if it is favorable?\nProbably there are other questions>\nI would insist that a senior associate or partner handle your case, if I were you. You don't want to get into the situation, where they are using your case to train new attorneys.

As a workers' comp. attorney, it has been my experience that proceeding on a WC claim is a very long and tedious affair for injured workers.  It sounds like you are currently receiving some form of treatment, which is good.  It can take months to go to a hearing, and then months more if there is an appeal.\n\nIf you think your attorney is not diligently representing your interests, you are always free to get a second opinion.

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.

I suggest you contact a lawyer in employment law OR contract law. Georgia is a verbal contract state. However, you can't really pursue it without verification (witnesses, recordings, etc.). There are some very good attorneys in Columbus, GA. Just pick up a phone book.

While you worked there, you were entitled to have a copy of absolutely anything you signed (which you probably signed your corrective action).  You are entitled to view every last thing in your file regarding any grievances/proof/documentation the company had against your performance (except for anything related to any criminal investigation had they been conducting one).  You can try to call their bluff and contact them stating that you would like to see copies of what you signed and documents related to your performance.  I think they have the right to deny you since you no longer work there.  I worked with a lawyer in a claim I am not allowed to say details of.  Marc Levine was my lawyer - a great wrongful termination/discrimination/sexual harrassment/workplace grievances lawyer.  I have nothing but great things to say about him.  He works on a purely contingency basis so you only pay him if you win the claim or settle out of court.  I will give you his number if you want it so that you can see if you have a claim.  I think he will be able to subpeona those documents should it go that far.  He will be able to tell you what to do next.

Call the local bar association for a referral.  If no one will take the case on a contingency fee, there is an excellent chance you don't have a case.

Perhaps if you told people what kind of lawsuit you intended to file, you might get better answers.\n\nDid you work there, and you want to sue for some labor-related issue?\n\nDid you get hurt on their property, and you want to sue for some kind of personal injury issue?\n\nDid one of the employees assault you in some fashion and you want to sue for that?\n\nAnd the list is endless, I'm sure.  But if you don't tell people a little about why you want to, you're not going to get any better answers than you already have (and one of your answers is already from an attorney!).

"Can an employee seek an interlocutory injunction against his employer?  If an employee feels that his employer is unreasonably requiring him to do work which is not part of his contractual obligations, can he seek an interlocutory injunction against his employer to maintain the status quo at work?"\n\nThe quick answer to your question is "Yes, you can seek just about anything before a court of competent jurisdiction."\n\nThe real question would be is it actionable?  And, assuming you have an actual contract (not a "job description") then you could file for breech of contract or injunctive relief for non-performance, etc. if the provisions of the contract allow AND if you have actually suffered some damages for which you are entitled relief.  That said, most employment contracts provide some specificity on the issue.  \n\nCheck your contract.  And realize that employment relationships generally necessitate some form of consistent give and take.  What is very unlikely is that a court would issue an order to your employer about how to conduct that relationship pending some final adjudication over the damages you claim.  If it isn't what you signed up for, terminate the relationship and take whatever liquidated damages (or "Golden parachute" or the like) are provided for in your employment contract.\n\n[This is not legal advice. You should consult a licensed attorney-at-law for legal advice or representation before making decisions that may affect your legal rights.]
