It will be a hard case to win, so what i would do is just appeal the comp decission and you will be assigned a new judge and see where it goes from there.  Then try suing your employer, but it is gonna be a hard case to try with a comp decission already in place.

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!

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

legally, you can only sue those who can understand laws.  Meaning you cannot sue an animal, but the owner of the animal for ignorance, neglect, etc.\nAn animal cannot understand right and wrong, not to say they don't know how to behave.  But this is the owner's doing and so the owner gets the consequences...where did you come up with suing an animal?

I think everyone here is on the right track.\n\nYou need to contact the local Labor board and check on them. You may be able to sue him for the pay, the lack of a 2 week notice before termination, and lack of a in writing letter of termination outlying the reasons. May want to talk to a lawyer and see what the rights are in your county to see what you are able to do from here.\n\nGood luck!

holy SH*T, I almost CHocked when I read this\n\n\n\nDO NOT GOT TO THE COMPANY---\n\nGO STRAIGHT TO A LAWYER A.S.A.P\n\nI repeat   GO TO AN ATTORNEY   NOW\n\ndo not inform your boss of this, OBVIOUSLY and do not even make threats OR EVEN SUGGESTIONS OF YOUR INTENSIONS: tO PROTECT YOURSELF LEGALLY SO THIS DOESN'T BACKFIRE-- STOP ALL COMMUNICATIONS WITHYOUR BOSS NOW!!!!  VERY IMPORTANT\n\n The lawyer will work with you to help get proof of this and then your lawyer will sue\n\nyou will get alot of compensation for this\n\nNO lawyer will not charge you up front but rather take a percentage of the suit.So dont worry about any money down.Any lawyer that ask you for money up front will not effectivly represent you.\n\nAfter the lawsuit, you wont have to work for quite sometime because you will be well off\n\nTrust me I know!\n\nPS: THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE BY WHAT YOUR BOSS DID AND GOING TO THE COMPANY WOULD ONLY CAUSE YOUR COMPNAY TO COVER THINGS UP. WHEN THE LAWSUIT IS FILED THE COMPNAY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR BOSS, SO YOUR SUIT WILL MOST LIKELY BE AGAINST THE COMPANY-

None.  If they have insurance then the insurance company has duties to fulfill for you.  If your employer has no insurance, then you might be able to get something from them in court.  However, if you sue for too much they can claim bankruptcy and you're left with nothing, except your damaged noggin.

Your employer cannot take adverse action against you for reporting workplace harassment, it's illegal and would, as another respondent pointed out, give you the right to file suit against them. So don't worry about getting fired.  As for transferring you against your will, I'm not sure, it would depend on both state law and the specifics of the case and the positions involved.  \n\nYour state will have some sort of board to which you could take complaints regarding workplace harassment.  You should probably give your employer the chance to handle it before you file a formal complaint, but go ahead and contact that body to find out what your exact rights and your employer's responsibilities are under state law.  Check with your state's department of labor, to find out who exactly where to go.  You could also contact your state legislator to find out where to go for information.\n\nBe professional and patient, your employer should have procedures in place for dealing with incidents like this, but they'll need to investigate and develop their own paper trail before they can take action.  Be sure to keep track of who you meet with and notes on what they say about the situation and the process involved.\n\nHopefully your employer handles this appropriately and will be able to take action against the person who wronged you.  Best of luck to you in getting this resolved quickly.

If your company has a Human Resources or Personel Department then that is where I would start with my complaint.  They will investigate the problen and decide if it has merit or not.  While you may feel that they will only side with the companies action, they are actually required by law to look into these types of compliants fairly and equally.  If you can not get a satisfactory solution within the companies system then I would reccomend your state Labor Board and have them investigate.  I would not bother with a lawyer until I have exhausted these methods first.  Follow through with instructions given by the Human Resouces or Labor Board before getting a lawyer because if you don't their defense will be we offered a solution and you did not attempt to follow it, so we have done all we can do.  That defense will hold up for them and you will loose. Do what you have to do and I am sure that you will get the matter resolved.

Tough question.  If you're an at-will employee, in most states, they can fire you for any reason, or no reason at all.  \nSome states have "service letter" statutes, which require that your former employer provide you a written letter explaining why you were fired.  If they don't provide that letter, then you can use them for damages.\nhttp://www.timslaw.com/serviceletter.htm\n\nIn addition, if you were a state employee, you might have certain additional rights. Same thing if you were in a union.\nFinally, this may be a pretext for a discriminatory termination (are you a minority? old? young? different ethnic group? disabled?) If so, then that may give you a cause of action as well.\n\nI would talk to a lawyer soon, not with the expectation that you will get to sue, but he will listen to your circumstance and give you reasonable advice.  Most plaintiffs' employment lawyers will not charge you for an initial consultation and will not charge fees (but will charge costs) unless you are successful.

You are not "entitled" to any kind of settlement.  You are entitled to sue for damages.  If you and the employer decide to avoid the expense of going before a judge, you can ask for anything you want, however, the employer can say "screw you, sue me".  It just depends who blinks first.\n\nPractically speaking, though, it is usually based on the percentage of disability and what other, similar claims have settled for in your area.

YOU CAN SUE FOR ANYTHING, BAR NONE! However, if you can show there is no good reason for their untrue and negative written statement about you they shared with another party, then you have good grounds for a liable suit. Further, if you can show you have suffered injury or damages as a result, then you have a very strong case. \n\nWARNING: The courts are secretly biased towards corporations and lawyers/barristers will only take you for your money. If you want to persue this I would do it myself or retain on a strict contingency basis only.

The question still isn't easy to answer. Your best bet would be to contact a local attorney, or take the advise of the previous responder.\n\nBut the truth is, this is a free country and they can't make you do anything. The answer might be, however, do you want to continue to work for them and receive a paycheck?

"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.]

Technically you would be in breach of contract however as nothing in writing there is very little employer could do. Employer would have to prove they had suffered financial loss and wouldn't really be worth the effort to contest

The person should contact an attorney or legal aid.  I don't quite understand the question, but if a person was terminated from a job for a reason they feel isn't fair, then they do have rights.

Assuming the information is true, unless the individual who does not work for the company was a party to a confidentiality agreement, there is no legal recourse.  If s/he has breached a confidentiality agreement, you can bring suit against her/him for that breach.
