Can unsigned pages be used against an employee if not initialed?
If a document states that an employee will read each page and that each page will be initialed and the last page will be signed showing that the employee understands these rules and agrees to adhere to them. Now, the last page has been signed but two of the four pages were not initialed. Can the information on the pages that were not initialed be used against the employee? What if this document has not been signed? Shouldn't it be signed to make it legal?
Can I take family medical leave for my grandmother?
I have been employed at a hospital with more than 50 employees within a 75 mile radius. I recently applied for and was granted family medical leave for my 75 year old grandmother in Georgia, who had an emergency leg amputation. I am my grandmother's power of attorney and next of kin. She has no spouse nor living children. My employer now tells me that I cannot take family medical leave for my grandmother; is this in violation of the Family Medical Leave Act? What can I do if they terminate me on the grounds of my family medical leave?
Is it illegal to not pay overtime for sales positions?
I recently left another job to take a sales position. This position has a guarantee of minimum wage if commissions greater than that are not earned. Basically, I will be paid which ever is more. I am expected to work a total of 43 hours each week, Tuesday through Saturday, and it seems that this company does not pay overtime for over 40 hours. The manager also expects employees to work on their days off for special events (Sundays) without compensation of any kind. Isn't this illegal?
