I did not use all vacation time in 2019-2020. I asked to use all of my time from 2020-2021 to take care of wife and newborn. My supervisor says I need to deduct 24 hours I used in November 2020. I assert that I should not have been forced to use all my vacation time from the previous year during... Read more »
Vacation pay, once earned, cannot be taken from you. However, an employer may have a policy that caps vacation pay at a certain amount so that the employee does not earn more vacation pay until there is room under the cap to accrue more.
Your post is a bit unclear about what your employer... Read more »
Other people I worked with said they were called and asked if they wanted to go back to work and if they didn't they would be let go but I never received a call from no one
I am sorry but your employer had no legal duty to bring you back to work after you were let go. Unless you can prove you were not brought back because you are a member of a protected class of people, you really have no recourse other than to start looking for other work.
Good luck to you.

Contract interpretation will determine who is in the right here. Therefore the precise words of the contract will be important. You need to take your agreement to an attorney who can be allowed to read the language of the agreement and give you specific advice you can rely upon.

I work in California and was just terminated by my employer because they found something on my background check that they did not like. Also, just in case it makes a difference, I am still in my probationary period. I know California law says that I am entitled to my final paycheck at the time of... Read more »
Your employer is wrong. There is no exception to the law for those terminated for problems with their background. You will likely be entitled to Waiting Time Penalties equal to one day of pay for each day you are made to wait for the final paycheck, up to a total of 30 additional days of pay.... Read more »
Happen and someone loses their life, what would the person with the thighs be charged with?
Subvaginal constriction……..?
If it was accidental maybe nothing or battery.
If intentional then manslaughter or murder
Pursuit is a mens fitness program. Can I get a trademark for it?
You should consult with an attorney who will then do a search and give you a risk analysis.
Most likely you will need to choose something else.
Best luck.
My mother died years ago. All she had was a bank account that I took control of. No house of her own or valuables. She had no other children but me. Late last year, I received a letter in the mail from a company called OCWEN that she has unclaimed property in the value of $1273. I contact them... Read more »
Oftentimes when this issue comes up as you have described, the company is located outside of California and is not aware of our small estate laws. Having counsel represent you with the company can generally resolves this lack of understanding by the company.
Lawyer told me I would not receive any of the settlement because he will invest the money.
Contact the State Bar and make a complaint if you attorney won't talk to you and/or won't disburse your settlement funds.
Her brother died, he was 75 and had no dependents. Mom is the next of Kin. She receives her deceased spouses SS Retirement benefits that started when she retired at 62.

It depends a great deal on what kind of benefits she is receiving. If she truly is receiving Social Security survivor RETIREMENT benefits, then the inheritance will not impact her benefits eligibility at all. If she is receiving something else, like SSI, the inheritance would impact her benefits... Read more »
Case has been documentarily qualified for over a year and the beneficiary is currently visiting in the US. Other than submitting I-485, are there any other steps that need to be taken? Will there be a long delay if we switch? Any reason not to switch since there is a large backlog of consular... Read more »
Switching from consular processing to Adjustment of Status is technically doable and easy but whether it should be done is a very fact sensitive analysis that should be done with an attorney because of the risk of potentially being denied Adjustment of Status. I recommend you at least do a... Read more »

For example have 6 attorneys in the interview room.
You can take a whole army with you, but don't be surprised that they limit the attendance. Two might work, or even three, but when you get more than that the size of the interview room becomes an issue. Be prepared when they ask you why you need so many lawyers to advise you.
Is that legal especially if he is my arresting officer
more info would be helpful.
depending on the facts it would be legal, but the cop should have turned it over to another officer b/c of the conflict

The 'B' subtrust of the Mary and Bill trust, holds ten properties.
Joyce presumably has a right to periodic income from rents.
Could a loan be arranged using equity based on one or more properties to secure a loan, which would be repaid on the death of Joyce?

IF THIS: "We went to the city, but the code does not have any light-trespassing/pollution laws"
is true, it may be tough to sue them? Perhaps you can find a way to limit that intrusion?
Higher hedges? Some shades?
