If you have a copy of the note from your doctor and you have something in writing from your employer (like an employee handbook) that says you get sick pay, you are entitled to it.  Further, in California, if you do not get paid within 72 hours of leaving your employment, you continue to get a "penalty" of 8 times your hourly wage per day for every day up to 30 days after you leave.  I just got $7,800.00 yesterday at my hearing.\n\nI suggest you go to your local Labor Commissioners office (look on their website) and file a complaint (it's a simple one-page form).  You'll get a hearing date in the mail within a couple weeks which will tell you when your "conference" is.  \n\nGood Luck!

You can look up labor laws for your state. Here in Texas an employer can't make you take an unpaid lunch break unless you are completely free of ANY type of work. Just do a search for labor laws and see what you find. I did this the other day for an issue my sister had with her employeer.

Your best bet is to consult an attorney. They don't charge too much for consultation services.\n\nMaybe start here:\n\nhttp://www.hg.org/employ.html\nhttp://jobsearchtech.about.com/od/laborlaws/l/aa102300_2.htm\nhttp://www.lawguru.com/\nhttp://www.cbia.com/HR/HRIssuesAndLaws/laborrelationsandunionlaws/default.htm

Labor laws are different from state to state, so really, depending on which state you live in, you may be entitled to overtime pay.  Percentage ranges from 1.5 to 2 times, but could be none if not specified.  If you live in California, you're in luck.  I'm pretty sure that hourly or salaried, you get 2 times pay for the time worked.\n\nGood luck getting whatever you deserve.

If you are an hourly employee, yes they are required to pay you.  If they aren't, go up the chain of command and document it very well.  If you still don't have any results, then contact the Department of Labor.  This is considered "working off the clock" and is highly illegal.

Sounds like the boss wants an extra day off, if you ask me! If your company does close that day, and your colleague chooses NOT to use his vacation time, he will not be paid for that day--because he isn't working.  Employers do not have to pay employees for work days not worked.  Employees should not be coerced into taking time off or using benefit time (this benefits the employer), however, and employees who disagree with the decision to close on a productive day should be offered an alternative.  Unless arrangements can be made for those employees who wish to work that day, there will be one less day on that period's pay check (unless they use their vacation hours).  Sorry, I don't have specifics on legalities but I think it would be difficult to contest formally.  Laws vary from state to state, and even those considered "salaried" may still be subject to hourly reporting.  As long as the total hours are met, the employee would receive full pay.  You may be able to work out an arrangement for working four days, but working 10 hours instead of 8 each day, e.g.

Contact a lawer he hows you.  If you earned that vaction time last year and you gave your two weeks notice then they should pay you your vacation time.  Its yours not theres.

In general if you are sent home for being sick, then you get paid for the part of the shift you worked, and get sick time for the part of the shift you did not work. If you job does not come with sick leave, then you would not get paid for the time off work.\n\nI tried to look in your state's law, but I did not find that it even mentions sick leave at all. Anything not found in the law, is left up to each employer's decision.

Most likely, yes.  Depends on your situation, but I'd suggest checking your employee handbook, if you have one.\n\nIf you are an employee-at-will (non-contract), then what you've effectively done is agreed to work on their terms.  Those terms are generally detailed in an employee handbook of some kind - you know, the one most people throw into the back of some drawer and forget about.  If their terms include proof of illness for sick days taken, there's nothing illegal about it.

You need to call the labor relation board in your state and see if that is legal. It doesn't sound like it but they would know the answers. You can do it without stating what company you work for.

Don't you know nursing homes don't want to hear about things like false documentation,abuse,neglect.They want it swept under the carpet.First of all you need to report this person to the  board of nursing.Secondly you need to file for unemployment compensation at your local employment commission.You can draw if you are fired for anything other that willful misconduct and that means "intentional" I am so sure you will get it,even if you have to appeal it.These politics go on in nursing and it is sickening,that is why this R.N. of many years is no longer nursing.Obviously this person is a butt licker.That is what they like.If this company has a corporate office then I certainly would  make a complaint.You shook the sheets and they don't like that.Find something else but if you can afford it sit back and draw unemployment.I did for 6 months

It sounds unfair, since you're there for the employer's benefit.  I would check with your state's Labor Department.

The problem we have at my place of business is that you are given 6 days of sick time and if you don't use it you lose it. So people make up illnesses just to use time that they consider "coming to them" so the honest ones that come to work everyday have to pull up their slack for the same days pay. When you work hard and you know someone else is taking a paid day when they aren't sick, it lowers morale.

The more hard evidents you have about your unfair treatment the better (eg: e-mails. co-worker testimony etc.).  Talk to a lawyer that specializes in labor law in the state you live in and see if you have a case.  Good luck.

You question makes no sense as written. I THINK are you trying to aske if any employer with withhold your wages if a customer fails to pay or the employer's services.  In California, the answer would be no and the I suspect the law is probably the same is most, if not all of the other states.
