Can a company just not pay an employee for training hours in Illinois?

Where can I find more information about this? My elderly mother provided 10 hours of her time for training and this place is refusing to pay for training and orientation.

Disabled and looking for work; how to go about presenting yourself?

I have glaucoma and am blind in my left eye (hence why I cannot drive or rely on any sort of transportation). I’ve had 11 job interviews this year hoping to get out of retail, and it’s not looking promising. I have a bachelor’s degree in graphic design from 2016, and have worked in various retail jobs for 10 years; what am I doing wrong?

I'm just wondering what's the logic behind this, The employees working in the store are the one providing you with a service to allow you to earn profit and yet they say it's the Store Leaders Job to pay for the store itself, as if they actually own the store. Meanwhile, as it's being paid off, any bonuses that would be incurred by them or the others who are applicable are reduced by 50%. I just wonder if this is a…

Glossophobia/fear of speaking in public affecting work

So a friend/colleague of mine is struggling to deliver handover meetings and case review meetings. We work in an environment and we support a caseload of clients, up to about 10 people at a time. Every fortnight we have case review meetings, where have to speak in front of the rest of the staff and management team. My friend has very high anxiety and is engaged with their therapist for this. Recently, they received an email regarding this from our deputy manager, who basically stated because they had requested not to partake in these meetings, that they are not fulfilling all facets of their job role. Next week I will be attending a meeting between my friend and the management team. I have though of a few useful suggestions and will put these forward in the meeting, as a compromise for both parties. We are currently looking in to the…
