🚨 #EmploymentLaw #Discrimination #Retaliation 🚨
Hey everyone, I need some advice on a sticky situation. My employer seems to know they can’t fire me due to legal reasons, so instead, they’ve drastically reduced my workload and opportunities to earn money. Here’s a breakdown of the issues I’m facing:
– Work in a 100% commission W2 sales/closing position
– New manager is not giving me any leads, giving them all to others
– Forced to stay at home on call with no compensation
– Discrimination against my disability
– Retaliation after HR complaint
I feel stuck and unsure of what steps to take next. Any thoughts or suggestions on how to handle this situation? What are my rights in this scenario? Any legal recourse I can consider?
Possible Solution:
– Consider seeking legal advice from an employment lawyer
– Keep documenting all instances of discrimination and retaliation
– Look into filing a formal complaint with relevant employment authorities
Let’s share our insights and support each other through this tough situation. #SupportEachOther #LegalAdvice #WorkplaceRights 🤝✨
You can get unemployment for reduce hours
What evidence do you have for disability discrimination? What evidence do you have of retaliation for your HR complaint?
It time to talk with a civil rights lawyer. Also five days without pay allows you to file for unemployment in most states
Doesn’t matter what they did in the past past unless you want to get an attorney. Recent stuff is the only thing that matters. File for unemployment right away. Washington hands out benefits like it’s damn candy.
Doesn’t “on call” require being paid for the hours “on call”?
> It’s blatantly obvious that they know I will win in court if they fire me
That’s not true for at least 99% of employees, why (specifically) is it true in your case?
You seem to suggest that they won’t because you believe it’s against the law, but you believe that they’ve already broken the same law, so why wouldn’t they just break the same law they’re already breaking?
So… couple of misconceptions here. And I have questions.
In no particular order
1) reducing your hours to nothing is effectively firing you and courts would see it that way. So sue away if you are telling the truth.
2) what’s your disability and in what way are you being discriminated against?
3) if you have black and white evidence of discrimination… why haven’t you already reported it and found a different job?
4) they can’t not pay you for meetings and such. You have to be paid a minimum wage for hours worked. They can meet that minimum wage through commissions but that’s still an important distinction to be aware of. (Unless you are considered salary exempt but then the salary minimum covers you… unless you are exempt based on the outdoor sales exemption in which case yeah, bummer)
5) hating you isn’t illegal and retaliation is only illegal in specific circumstances. So depending on the circumstances, HR telling you to get along with your manager IS the appropriate response, although again circumstances matter. For discrimination, see number 2.
6) you don’t know HR hasn’t investigated. You making the complaint doesn’t mean you are deserving of being told the process and results.
7) this is pretty fact specific but they can’t “trap you at home” and not pay you, in a general sense.
You really need a local attorney now.
