In case anyone is unaware. The law in the USA does not apply to the rest of the world no matter how much US video makers appear to think it does.
Agreed. And I never suggested that it did.
@@Spigglelaw Nope you did not clarify that you were citing US law, that’s exactly the point. You and I both know what was going unsaid but not everyone watching has the life experience to know that.
You caught me. I am trying to lure unsuspecting folks from out-of-country, who I cannot help, by talking exclusively about US law. I have been told this is not a good business model. But, by God, I’m going to make it work.
So much great information. Thanks so much!
You're on fire!
Thank you for your help!
If you want $30k, ask for $60k, they counter offer $30k. Done You are welcome.
No. If you start at 30K and they counter with 15K to you should counter with 45K.
Facts
If you want $30 and they offer $15, counter with $40. They'll see you're unreasonable and going to be messy and beg you to take the $30.
Wrong. Nobody wants to deal with someone they know to be, as you yourself put it, "unreasonable"

GREAT CONCISE VERY VALUABLE EDUCATIONAL SERVICE to the great masses of American workers overwhelmingly unfamiliar with the law Nationwide. You are a REAL PRO!
I wish you’d do another day soon! I couldn’t get a spot 😢
We will!
Well the guy was late because he slept in once, she has childcare every day.
STILL DISCRIMINATION!
if i was hired with a 1 year contract, paid per diem to move to where the job is, and signed a lease, plus paying a lease where i live, but the employer work is completed before the contract is up, and now they let you go, but now your stuck with both lease, and is not being paid for the rest of the contract term.
Do you know the Sote law firm?
You could argue tortious interference. By harassing your spouse, the coworker/employer likely impacted the se× drive of your spouse. A marriage is a contract. By deleteriously impacting the drive of your spouse, the employer/coworker interfered with the contract between you and your spouse. Or perhaps not
if my employer has a mandatory arbitration can i still file a eeoc thingy ?
In most instances, yes you can
Being rude does not constitute that the EEO should violate your right. EEOC is paid by your tax dollar, they have a duty to do their job right.
Sorry… BULLFECES regarding having protection from termination… I’ve had a case in district court almost 5 years, they took discovery (my statements to the EEOC) and fired me for it. I went to the EEOC expecting them to be irate at this blatant violation of the law regarding protected activity, what did the EEOC do, jack feces… they issued a right to sue, who cares about the chilling effect of people knowing the protection is all just talk… so now I have to file a second case just for the termination as the judge refused to allow me to do a supplemental to the existing sex, retaliation and age case.
Not me
Teachers don’t get overtime
They're salary, though. They only get paid once a month.
Did i understand this right?? So this will ultimately benefit THE EMPLOYERS !!! NOT THE EMPLOYEES?? How is it fair?
You misunderstood. They need to pay you an extra $500 a week if they want to not pay you overtime. This is a good thing for employees as anyone exempt who is making less than $1128 a week will be paid 1.5× their hourly wage for every hour they work past 40 hours in a week
@@SnailOfLore oh really?? Oh shit thanks. Good god how did they manage to say it soo bloody complicated??
What do we have a congress for?
To sign laws into effect. This rule falls directly into the jurisdiction of the department of labor as specified in the fair labor act. It is basically adjusting overtime wages with inflation
Unless you are a trucker 😢. We still work 70 hours a week 14 hour days. In all fairness, I love my job.
Ive never seen a single place that did not pay overtime, no matter how much you make.
Bullshit and you know it
Salaried workers are usually exempt from overtime unless they make under a certain amount
I’m salary at like 940 a week and normally pull in 50-55 hours a week in 4 days. No overtime pay just my standard weekly
@@justusjohanson588 that will be illegal under federal law after this passes. Your paychecks will now be $1292.50 - $1468.75 with overtime calculated in.
Is this before taxes i asdume?
In lamon terms please? Are you saying people won't get paid for overtime anymore? What exactly did you just say?
You make more if you work overtime
Before, if you made more than $678 a week at 40 hours you wouldn't be eligible for overtime, 1 1/2, pay. After the new rule changes, you can make up to $1120 at 40 hours and still be eligible for overtime.
I'm confused as well, what does all this mean?
@@Muhammadwasapedo so why would anyone be willing to work more than 40 hours a week? Brandon and his communist comrades are slowly murdering the working class, this is what I'm seeing, experiencing and hearing. God help us all survive this communist attack!!
Before then, if you made more than 680 a week, they wouldn't have to pay you overtime if they didn't want to. Now, you have to make at least 1100 a week for them not to pay you overtime. So if they want to keep you salaried and take advantage of not paying you overtime, you will have to get a raise and make at least $1100 per week
No one asked kid
If you saw the assessment report you think it was a monty python joke, my DWP was stop with a lot of serious medical problems which cannot be fix if they could fix me i would be back working in the profession that i did before the accident which i was top in
I was on DWP until July 2020 during covid I have more than 1 terminal condition I've got plates & pins in my leg, I've got 3 plates in my head, & due to an accident which smashed the rib below the heart into the heart which has 2 breaks it whent into the body, deep to the sternam which smashed a bone, for which it took 4 years to tell me that I shouldn't be alive with the injury that I have & that I can not be operated on as I would die & this was by the top sermon and to go and live my life the best way you can it took 8 years to get help, for which I got my DWP & then they put me into a pip assessment, even though I have had 4 benefits assessments before before
My HR department is trying to force me to resign because I refuse to work with mice in my work area. I had to leave from behind my desk 3 times this month during my shift and sit in my car because mice was running around behind the desk and a mouse was on my foot. I was told to either work your scheduled shifts or resign.
How would we prove that it is indeed a "cover up". If the hr complaint was compensation based- would that still give us a case?
Your company fires you for not being happy enough
Hope you don't work st Disney world or something lol😂
Even the federal government agrees an employer cannot expect an employee to be happy. Even at Disney. Hence why you interview and swap out people to give breaks in high demand jobs like that.
Personally cannot stand non-compete agreements. They are bad. But no one should get their hopes up w/ these FTC rules. If you're being honest, it's pretty hard to imagine any court saying that the FTC had authority from Congress to promulgate these rules (even before the "major questions" doctrine). I suspect these rules will be shutdown by a federal court within moments of them going into effect, and they'll eventually be set aside by the Supreme Court
I think that's right
Im in my 90 day probation period And i ended up catching a very bad abcess in my mouth and they dont accept Doctors note!! Idk if u are aware but abcess are very serious..They Are trying to terminate me for that medical issue..can i sue?
What if the same thing happens to a rental tenant? I know a tenant who is currently being discriminated against for reasonable accommodations that the landlord has illegally installed an acess aisle that is supposed to be designated for their adjacent handicap parking space. Instead, the landlord installed a loading and unloading access aisle that anyone can park in, which blocks the disabled person from safely entering and exiting their vehicle. The tenant has already filed a complaint with Maryland Civil Rights Commission who failed to conduct and follow C.O.M.O.R..The investigator didn't even look at the handicap parking space and access aisle in real time. I have been trying to help tenants who are going through severe housing discrimination issues. If you are not able to help. Please advise. Thank you from Maryland. I already called everyone on the list that the Bar Association provided. Thank you for reading.
Yes, this would be at the intersection of the ADA and the Fair Housing Act. This is not work that we do, but you might try these guys: www.lawyerscommittee.org/project/fair-housing-and-community-development-project/
An employer cannot even ask a former employer, about anything to do with your employment there, other than to say yes they worked there from this date to this date. If the employer tells them anything other than the dates you work there you can sue the former employer.
Sure they can... I was getting 'performance reviews' every week, everyone else got then twice a year. It's impossible to 'show progress' when you get shanked this way. A long series of bad reviews insured I'd never be able to get advancement, or a transfer. "Force me to quit"? Sort of...
What if I was fired for poor work performance after documentation of great work performance and they decided to use a past incident to justify my termination? The employers refused to show evidence after their written statement.
I need help I was very overworked and developed a tumor at Amazon facility I need help on suing
You can give us a call at 202-449-8527. Though I imagine you may need to consult with a workers comp attorney, an area of law which we do not do.
??? companies are still required to pay you for the hours you work even if you quit. if they were illegally underpaying you I don’t think quitting would absolve them of their responsibilities.
That is definitely true. Under the FLSA your employer must pay you for time worked, even if you are fired or quit
Must be nice living in a state where the UI work as intended. Here in DC the application takes 4 hours to fill out and they take weeks to process it and then they always find things to turn into issues only to get $400
In California you can collect UI even in the case of “forced resignation.”
Nope. Wrong. Never ever resign. Let them fire you. And make sure they give written descriptions as to why so it’s documented via email. If YOU quit you cannot get unemployment in most states.
Bro can't even finish a 1 minute video.
If you quit and you show proof that the job had become unreasonable in the amount of hours or harassment or physical work or blah blah blah you could still get unemployment in many cases.
Reputation doesnt mean much when it comes to this my rights are more important unless i can get a job lined up before i leave the current one.
Much like cops do. They quit before they're fired, so they can move to the next county over.
