Hi, I am curious to see what you might think of a situation I am currently in. I (F33) hurt my back initially last week Tuesday. I let me employer know and they responded by taking me off my shifts and telling me rest with full pay, no sick time used(salary). I decided not to file a claim last week because I was hoping that with rest/stretching I’d feel better. Well that mostly worked till today when I was back to work. I hurt myself doing the same thing as last week. I decided to open a case with my employer and I have once again been taken off shifts, I assume with pay, as before. They responded quickly without judgement or questions beyond asking what happened. What are some thing I should be on the lookout for or how to protect myself? I don’t want them to turn around…

It seems so overloaded online that i feel like half of them are scams. How do you find a legit WFH job?

So this has been going on for awhile but it got worse during Covid. Employee would call in sick, boss would say no, employees were stuck coming to work sick. Some times the person would come in, work their shift and then go to the doctors only to be told they had Covid. So they exposed a whole daycare class to covid. Awesome. I work in the childcare industry. Getting sick comes with the territory. We have a few employees that call out all the time. And we're insanely short staffed so instead of raising wages and hiring workers, we're left being spread too thin because we can't find anyone to work for trash wages. So because they can't deal with the call-ins, we're now being told no one can call in unless they have the flu or covid. We're also being told that a note from Wellnow (urgent care)…

In the state of CA the labor code (section 202) states “if the employee has given 72 hours notice of intention to quit, the employee is entitled to his wages at the time of quitting.” I gave them two weeks notice which means I should be paid at the end of my last shift right?! However, my last shift is in the evening after the boss folks have left for the day. They just emailed and want me to let them know how I want my last paycheck. My options were: •come back for the check •get it mailed •have it Wisely direct deposited (which I have not heard of) I would like to respond and tell them I’ll take my paycheck and pto payout in my hand at the end of my shift on my last day. Just because it’s inconvenient for them to drive the 10 mins to…

Why do employers need to know the address of every apartment I’ve lived in for the past 3 years, the addresses of jobs that are already listed in my resume, a bio in addition to a cover letter, etc.? I honestly can’t imagine how any infromation past what’s in a resume and cover letter is needed to hire someone (and even cover letters I’m not a fan of).
