does an employer have the right to tell employees they cannot bring in outside food , such as McDonald's etc?

Wow, and do they also say you can't eat meat on Friday's...\nNo, I don't think anyone can tell you what you can bring to work for you lunch/supper it's controlling and inappropriate. Shame on them.\n\nI'm sure if you contacted a Human Rights Office in you area they'll be able to help you further.

Bring it to their attention, but be very polite. Anyone handling your food you don't want to tick off.

That all depends on the order. Some people could be forbidden to leave their house except for work, or others could be allowed a certain distance. It all depends on the details of the order.

Lol I think some of the previous responses are hilarious.  No the employer cannot say anything derogatory against you that would be grounds for a defamatory/slander lawsuit.  Companies are allowed to give your dates of employment, your salary, your position, your current employment status, and how you were termed (which most jobs do not volunteer).  Regarding how you were termed if they decide to divulge this information it can be one of two responses generally: voluntarily left position,  terminated.  They cannot volunteer your "life story" i.e. she bitch slapped a manager then she set the office on fire so we had to can her ass.  That's just not going to happen.

It doesn't matter where you work.  If you're going to develop an allergy, no one can give it to you.  No matter where you work or who you associate with.  It is not communicable.

throw them out. Big companies throw away food like theres no tomorrow because its not really worth any real value to them unless they are getting you to buy it. I work in a store in the food place and at the end of the night we throw away all the food that is still good its a shame but we arent even allowed to donate it.

Define "Allow" :) I would guess that they aren't openly allowing it, more turning a blind eye to it. The problem comes from the fact that both of the industries you mention rely on illegal immigrants for labour, since most Americans don't want the jobs themselves (since the pay is so low and/or the conditions are so bad) Therefore if the legislature starts cracking down on those companies, they could literrally destroy them. Even if they don't levy the enormous fines that would probably be legally required for the companies' infractions, the companies would still be in a position where they simply couldn't afford to hire the staff they needed to keep going. You fancy paying $6 for a burger? Because it could happen if your local burger joint had to start paying Americans to do the jobs currently done by immigrants...

Depends what country you are in.... Here in the UK they don't have to. No take-away food parlours have any other entrance/exit apart from the front door that is availble to customers.

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.

Since McDonald's employs Humburglar to steal its burgers, I don't think that it is actually theft.  Besides, they always get the burgers back.  However, he should probably steer clear of states like Texas, where an overzealous staff member might shoot him with legal justification.

Employees should be treated with dignity and have the right to keep their personal lives separate from their business lives.\n\nDemanding information about taking sick leave is one of the more sensitive areas.\n\nEmployees should be made aware that use of emails within the company server and phone calls using the company phone system are not private.  They shouldn't find out the hard way.

I work with Mcdonald 10 years ago, if not mistaken there was a policy.  Check with your stall manager

The fact of the matter is that you were on private property and you had no right to refuse to leave. They can have whatever silly policies they want and they do not need to post them, so long as you are on their property you need to abide by their rules.\n\nI do believe that we can all agree that this is a stupid policy and I do hope that you'll decide to take your business elsewhere in the future.\n\nAlso, they had no right to use force again you(the employee who shoved you). You may only use force against someone else to defend yourself, another person or your home.

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.

Permits sometimes are posted within view of patrons. If you don't see it, you can ask the food handler to see it or you can call you local heath department and they can tell you anything you want to know. It is a matter of public record.

There is no law in Michigan requiring breaks for meals or otherwise for employees over 18. If your employer has a break policy, the worker must be compeltely free of duties during the break.

Not sure if they have it right or not. How do they cope with any coffee mornings or fund raising events they have, if people bringing goods in to either sell or serve? I work for a charity where we cook meals in various village and church halls and any cooks have to have a F.H. Cert and the premises have to be registered. Know this doesn't help but if you pose the question to your local envirnment officer they might be able to help,ask at your local council offices for their number. Good luck
