| Posted: 05 Oct 2018 06:23 AM PDT Hello, LA. About a month ago, I started working at for a large hotel company. I am a night auditor. I work 11pm-7am. I have a fair amount of downtime during my shift. However, I do not get rest breaks or a meal period. When I asked my boss about it, she said, "You don't get a lunch." She said this was due to the amount of downtime and the fact that I can eat a bite here or there throughout the night. Practically, this translates to me having to just stand at the desk for the whole shift, with no ability to sit or be off-duty at all. I was given the meal period waiver during my onboarding and I did not sign it. I have not given my consent to waive my meal period (which only applies to six-hour shifts, anyway). I don't want to become a "problem," but I am worried about my ability to just stand for eight hours with no relieve. Do I have any options or anything here? Or am I just being super entitled and shitty? Thanks. I also missed out on the new hire health insurance enrollment period because I did not hear back from my boss or HR about it for my code to the new hire enrollment website, despite the fact that I tried to get this information several times. But I don't know if that's anything. [link] [comments]  |
| My mom wants to surrender my sister to DCFS (IL) Posted: 05 Oct 2018 06:59 AM PDT My half-sister (F15) has several untreated mental health conditions, uses cannabis to self-medicate, is an open lesbian, and has a conflict-filled relationship with my mom due to those reasons. My mom regularly gets into physical and verbal fights with her, threatens her, calls names, and ends up driving her to my and my girlfriends house and dumping her at our door with a bag of basic belongings. She also routinely threatens to surrender her to DCFS. My girlfriend and I [21F, 21M] have been taking care of my sister for the past 4 days. My mom called last night, screaming at me to either figure out my sister or she will actually go through with surrendering her to DCFS. I talked her down, and so far it sounds like she's going through with a voluntary transfer of custody to us, and then she states she's going to leave the country. I'm in the process of looking for a lawyer, and the priorities are keeping my sister safe and getting her mental health care. What can I expect from this, and is there anything else I can do to keep her safe? Are there any other legal actions I can take against my mom, or legal protections I should look into for my sister? Edit: DCFS came, we called shortly after we posted. We went to the courthouse and, long story short, we have temporary emergency custody of my sister. My mom has gone AWOL as well and is nowhere to be found, and we've agreed to a safety plan that includes calling the caseworker if we get in contact with mom, and seeking a medical evaluation from her pediatrician.

| (PA) Autistic girl saying threatening things on husband's school campus (UPDATE) Posted: 05 Oct 2018 07:50 AM PDT So we sat on the advice for a few days and talked it over. Some kind of an advocate actually spoke in my husband's human sexuality course the next day and he went to her with the matter. I wanna call her a certificate 9 or something, I can never remember...in any event, they've had meeting after meeting with dozens of people who have been in contact with "Mary" and what they've experienced and all... The whole thing is very circular. She ended up making several Instagram accounts to harass the guy she wanted to cut the brake lines to just to basically "niceguy™" him about him ignoring her. She waits for him after class and follows him around campus and she still carries her knife. So I called my brother last night who's a police officer to see how seriously the cops would take the situation. In so many words, they won't act until something happens, but my husband could begin the paper trail by filing that she approached him about cutting the brake lines on the guy's bike and asking to hack someone's phone. Beyond that he can't say anything. My husband is not a victim, and only the victims can make a report. Anything else would seem like he's got a vendetta against Mary. My brother's advice was "husband needs to look out for husband" and by this point I agree. I told my husband that it's up to the other guys to go to the police and if he wants to act as an advocate on campus for his friends that's fine, but they're adults and need to do things for themselves. The one guy who has the bike wants the school to take care of it, so that's where the cards will lie, but I told my husband that it's time he either make a police report for his part of all of this or step away and just be ready to defend himself should she try to come at him. The school wants to handle this in-house, and they have an entire bulging file of evidence against her, so time to see where it goes. Thanks for your advice on the matter. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Oct 2018 07:45 AM PDT I work for a fairly popular hotel chain and we do banquets where they're charging people hundreds or thousands for food, the banquet room, extra amenities, etc. They also automatically charge a 12% gratuity which most of the guests think is going to the staff but it's not. I make about $12 an hour. This is in Michigan. [link] [comments]  |
| House was Declared Vacant But I'm Still in it.....Please Read and Help! Posted: 05 Oct 2018 07:29 AM PDT So this post needs some backstory for it to make sense so bear with me for a moment as I explain: I was renting a 2 story apt with my landlord living below for about 3 years. Her medical bills caught up with her, she declared bankruptcy and passed soon after. Meanwhile I'm still here and don't hear a word from the bank or anyone for 2 years until recently when they come to assess the place and met me. I explained my situation and that I was trying to move out but haven't found a place yet. Last night I found a verification of vacancy letter on my door but I'm still here and I don't understand how they could possibly think it's vacant (tons of personal items plus a dog in the house.) Anyways I don't know what my next course of action should be. I'm going to move out next month but I'm more concerned right now about going to work and coming home to find all my things are thrown away or my door has a new lock on it and I can't get in. Should I inform the mortgage company that left the letter on my door so they don't throw my things away or will contacting them only expedite them kicking me out? Should I lay low and quietly move out and just hope they won't simply throw my things away? please help i have no idea what to do. Edit 1: I know I've been squatting and I'm not proud of it but I just need to know my next course of action. Edit 2: I'm in Massachusetts [link] [comments]  |

| My uncle tried to steal 4k USD from my mother and I after my dad passed away.. Posted: 05 Oct 2018 07:18 AM PDT He gave it all back after my mom found through other family members. He recently just called me (which was the first time ever he actually contacted me or wanted to speak to just me alone) and asked for my dad's birth certificate.. That was his only question and told me to give it to him before December. What can this mean?? I'd like to know why he just wants my dad's birth certificate? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Oct 2018 04:21 PM PDT I contacted an attorney and with his help sent a cease and desist letter to my sister, and that any legal communication would have to go through him. We also did the paperwork for durable power of attorney and our living wills. She promptly went ballistic. I received a visit from APS, who clearly thought I was severely mentally disabled and were surprised to see that I was mentally fit. They confirmed that I have a care plan and am fine, and then left. Shortly afterwards, cars would drive slowly past our house and then speed up past it. I received a lot of unmarked letters in my mailbox telling me to reconcile with my sister and surrender to God's plan or else I'll go to Hell. Finally, my sister pounded on my door, screamed for me to come out, etc. I called the police, and I think she realized that she messed up because she went quietly with them. She hasn't contacted me again, but it's only been a week so I don't think it's over. The police have not charged her and I don't have enough evidence of harassment to get a restraining order, but I feel like I've documented enough evidence to head off any guardianship attempts.

| Posted: 05 Oct 2018 10:16 AM PDT The note says that they want to speak with me "for my discretion," but refuses to discuss the matter over the phone. They want to meet with me in a few days. I'm planning on contacting a lawyer about this, but should I respond? I was planning on not showing up. I have no idea what this could be about. I haven't committed any crimes, but I'm not going to put myself in a position to have what I say used against me. How should I proceed? [link] [comments]  |
| Do I legally have to pay high school student loans that my mother took out? Posted: 05 Oct 2018 06:42 AM PDT Now I know reading that probably took you back, but I need you to hear me out. So my mom took out a loan to pay for my private high school tuition for that I am forever grateful. However I'm now in the military haven't even served for a year yet. I'm an E1 making the lowest amount of pay you possibly can. My mom said she wanted me to take over the loan or help pay for it, I tried taking out a personal loan to pay it off and then pay off that personal loan under my own interest rate under my name but I was denied a loan based on how little I make I assume, or because I have almost no credit history. So now I'm stuck paying my mother half of my entire monthly paycheck. I now have one paycheck a month to budget and try and save and I'm already seeing how this isn't going to work. What advice would you give me? Do I legally have to help pay for this loan? Edit: I've been so hesitant to tell her I can't help that much because she will then try to guilt me into it saying I'm ungrateful for what she's done for me, and says how little she had to support me on growing up, but I just realistically cannot continue to pay this loan this way anymore, it's like a damn car payment.

| IN I think my BIL will try to stay when we buy house from FIL Posted: 05 Oct 2018 11:13 AM PDT I'm on mobile so sorry for any formatting errors. I'm getting increasingly more suspicious that my jobless brother-in-law and his girlfriend are going to try to stay in the house we plan on buying. Reasons: -The girlfriend moved in because she "had nowhere to go" suspiciously as soon as my brother in law was allowed to take over the basement. She was allowed to move in for a few months to save money and then had to leave. That was 2 years ago. -They were told over a year ago that the house was being sold and they'd need to find a place to live. They keep buying expensive collectibles, games, toys and useless things on her one income. Part time fast food job.
-after that last atom bomb they casually dropped, I told my husband to talk to his brother about his plans and make it clear they can't stay. They kept using words like probably and most likely. But they now know we want them out. The house is being sold to us in one year and a few months. They have most rooms in the house filled with their garbage and old furniture. How do I legally ensure they'll be off my property including all their stuff when the sale goes through. If their stuff is left, am I legally allowed to throw it out? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Oct 2018 06:49 AM PDT This is my first time reddit posting and I believe this is the correct thread for this subject. For a little background, my boyfriends family adopted twin girls about 10 years ago who came form a very rough and abusive background. They came into his family when they were around 6 years old so they had gone through years of sexual, physical and psychological abuse and had vivid memories of it. Due to their background they had some rough time acquainting themselves to normal family life and really stuck to just the two of them. My boyfriend is incredibly kind hearted so out of all his blood related siblings (multiple brothers) he took the most time to get to know them and make them comfortable. Because of their background they had a hard time understanding a proper relationship between siblings and the one became obsessed with my boyfriend. She would talk about having sexual dreams of him and would also talk about how much she hated me once I started dating him. Naturally he did his best to shut it down. Fast forward to a few years ago, she lost her mind. She became violent and attempted suicide multiple times. She tried to kill her sister, their mother and was unable to be restrained. She went for psychological help many times and never had any improvement. She met a guy the most recent time she was in the hospital and decided she wanted to cut her ties with my boyfriends family and live with this guy and his mother. After she moved out his family could breathe again but she still let her presence be known. She would post cryptic messages on Facebook accusing my boyfriends family of abuse and him of sexual abuse. She would antagonize her sister via text and try to turn her against the family. She's been spreading lies about their treatment of her. She also has threatened his family multiple times through the sister and threatened my boyfriends life claiming her boyfriend would beat him up because of this sexual abuse lie. At this point she doesn't really have anyone on her side to prove her point and he has his whole family as character witnesses but even if he is just accused his life could be destroyed. He is on his way into a medical profession and this will ruin him and his future. Like I said she's threatened before and they were empty threats but this is the most concerning one because it could be a legal battle his life could be completely ruined. Is there any way to stop this process from even potentially happening? Or if she goes through with the accusation is there any way to prevent it from ruining his future? [link] [comments]  |
| Gay polyamorous real estate dispute (Oregon) Posted: 05 Oct 2018 08:59 AM PDT This one's a little convoluted and may sound like a property bar exam by the time I'm done, so please bear with me. My friends (We'll call them Adam, Bob, and Charlie) are purchasing a home together. They are in a committed polyamorous relationship, but Adam and Bob are married to each other while Charlie is not married to either. Adam and Bob are professional working fellows. Charlie is a real estate agent. In addition to being a party to the sale, Charlie is the buyer's real estate agent. Prior to signing the sales contract, the parties verbally agreed that they would own equal 33 1/3% interest in the property and all parties would pay 1/3 of the mortgage. Charlie agreed to use his commission as the buyer's agent to serve as his part of the down payment on the home. Charlie was never going to be on the loan for the home. Now there is a signed sales contract with Adam, Bob, and Charlie for the purchase of the home. Charlie has indicated he no longer intends on using his commission as a down payment and has no intention of paying his share of the mortgage. He does however want a 33 1/3% interest in the subject property. Adam and Bob are the only people on the loan. Adam and Bob do not want Charlie on the loan or on the title, nor do they want him to have an interest in the property as they believe he's breached his agreement with Adam and Charlie regarding the purchase of the home. Charlie is still permitted to live in the home, but Adam and Bob don't want Charlie to have an interest in a home he has no obligation to pay for and has made no payments toward. Adam and Bob are agreeable to signing a will that provides for Charlie to get a 100% ownership interest in the home in the event of Adam and Bob's demise. Does Charlie have any claims against Adam and Bob? Do the title and loan documents need to match the parties on the sales contract? Does the sales contract have any weight versus the title and deed if Charlie were to bring a quiet title action? What are Adam and Bob's rights and remedies? What are Charlie's rights and remedies?

| Posted: 05 Oct 2018 10:34 AM PDT Background: Friend lives in an apartment building that the landlord was from out of state and managed by a local guy. It appears that the property manager was skimming the money that was supposed to go to the owner. The property manager died and now the landlord is getting up to speed with the property and has told everyone in the building that they haven't paid their rent and they are way past due. So he is evicting everyone on the building including my friend. Supposedly he got a court order to have them evicted by October 9th. I told my friend that there is no way what the landlord is doing is legal. Even if you didn't pay rent, you need a written notice by landlord to vacate and you are OWED a date in court before a judge regardless of your financial capabilities to seek legal counsel. My friend didn't know this and thought everything the landlord was doing was within his legal rights. The landlord today proceeded to break in to my friends apartment and throw her stuff out in front. She can't afford counsel, what are immediate things she can do to help her situation. She doesn't have anywhere to go and has 2 kids. Can she go to county court and request an emergency hearing? UPDATE: Update: She has found her lease and she sent me a copy of what she thought was an eviction order for the 9th. It was actually a court order to appear in front of the county judge on the 9th. She confirmed that she wasn't handed a written notice to vacate for non-payment, only a court summons that was posted on her door. I told her that under MO law, verbal vacate requests are not legally binding whatsoever (at least my interpretation from reading MO's Attorney General's summary guide to landlord/tenant laws). Source: http://www.ago.mo.gov/docs/default-source/publications/landlord-tenantlaw.pdf?sfvrsn=4 I told her to report the break in and theft to the authorities. That the landlord clearly is overstepping in his legal authority. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Oct 2018 08:11 PM PDT So I'm going to try to be as factual and neutral as possible, but I will begin with the emotional reason I discovered what was mentioned in the title of this post: My neighbor built a "fuck you" fence. He said that he will not be painting our side of it. He said he wouldn't allow us to paint it. On our side, there are those "lumber paint" markings put on to identify the type and brand of lumber. He doesn't like us because we keep an unkempt backyard. Despite 90% of it being concrete and clean, the 10% that is garden is just tall plants and grass. Nothing that looks very good. He has asked me if I was going to plant anything in place of the garbage plants, and me, sporting crutches due to knee injury/surgery said "probably not this year." It infuriated him and he's since made it clear to the neighbors and myself that he doesn't approve. Okay - that's out of the way. We live in a very urban area. Driveways are touching both the neighbor's house AND the house of the owner of the driveway. Everything it built right up to the property line. If you are into parkour, you could probably traverse a block just by jumping house to house. The same goes with me and my neighbor. MSPaint map for context (I drew this based on my survey): https://i.imgur.com/gCXq5IU.png As you can see, the red is the fence, and you probably see the other things I'm about to get to. I bought this house 3 years ago with no indication from anyone that there potential issues of this sort. They had an iron fence up before in the same spots marked on the map. You'll also see that the shed on my property belongs to my neighbor, and he has exclusive access to it and the surrounding land. I have no way about getting to it; He has fenced around that as well, so I can't access it from the other side of my garage (I missed this in the crudely drawn map). So to recap:
My big fear is adverse possession. I am digging through all sorts of satellite maps to see if I can pin down the earliest date that the iron fence was up. The major problem is that the former owner of my house and my neighbor were basically family, and the whole "can I use part of your property?" idea was probably an easy agreement between the two of them. I've already hired a property lawyer, and she's going to review the survey and the property and let me know what we need to find out before we take any action. I would like to reach out to the community here to see what else I might expect with all this. I've tried to be neighborly. Despite the issue with the plants, I've reached out and given him extra desserts that I get from work, offered help and tried to just be neighborly. The only concrete advice I've gotten thus far is "you don't have to allow him to come onto your property to maintain the fence or do anything. Being an asshole by using the law is your right." I wholeheartedly agree, and will make sure that he cannot come onto my property unless he manages to do it without us detecting him. So what do you make of this? What should I expect? What information should I be collecting RIGHT NOW? If 10 years has passed since this encroachment has begun, what can I do to prevent any sort of adverse possession issues? EDIT: I just walked the property - it also looks like ANOTHER neighbor has a length of fence on my property (~3 feet of his fence extends onto my property against my garage in the back - updated MSPaint diagram to come tonight). This is going to be sticky. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Oct 2018 08:22 PM PDT I had received a friend request on Snapchat one day and I accepted it because I thought it was one of my old coworkers. I posted to my Snapchat story like I usually do and he messaged me stating "you're the most adorable ASIAN girl I've seen on here! We should meet up!" That was when I realized that was not my old worker and I proceeded to tell him I was married. He got super upset stating I had broken his heart and how could I do this to him. He then told me he had found my Facebook and that it was a "gold mine" (for asian girls, maybe???) that freaked me out so I blocked him on Snapchat and just left it at that. About two days later I received a message from an old high school friend, whom I have spoken to in years, with and attached photo. I opened it up and It was him asking her if she knew who the guy in my profile photo was, saying that he had to tell him something, but wouldn't tell her what it was. I found his Facebook and blocked him so he couldn't bother any more people on my friends list and then I told my husband everything. I don't know why, but I thought it was over after that....boy, was I wrong! The next day I received another message from an old coworker, whom I again haven't spoken to in years, with an attached photo. He was asking her the same thing, to DISCRETELY tell him who the guy in my profile picture was, but this time he told my coworker that he had to get a hold of my husband because he had to let my husband know that I was unfaithful. He told her "poor dude. Not even 6 months in it..." which she thought was super odd because I have been married for 2 years. I thanked her for telling me and I created a status with the pictures from my coworker and my high school friend, stating everything about the Snapchat incident and that this guy has been messaging people on my friends list trying to get a hold of my husband to tell him I've been unfaithful. I told everyone not to stoop to his level by sending hateful messages, but to either just ignore it or report it if they get anything from him. A lot of my family members started to comment. All of the guys saying "this guy is delusional, he needs to be dead...blah blah blah" and all of the girls commenting "I got a message from that guy I just ignored it" which I think is reeeeally creepy because it seems as though he has only message the girls on my friends list. My brother in law commented stating I should notify the police, but I'm not even sure there's anything they could do about it or if they would do anything about it. How would I go about reporting this situation to the police and is there anything they can do? TL;DR - guy doesn't know how to take rejection, starts messaging girls on my friends list trying to get a hold of my husband to tell him I'm an unfaithful lady. How should I go about reporting this to the police and are they able to do anything? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Oct 2018 01:56 PM PDT So I'm not a huge person. I'm a female 5'8" 190. We were staying at a small hotel with no staff at night. Around 11 pm i sat down on the toilet, i probably sat back and the tank literally exploded/ shattered on me. Water poured out. My husband and i panicked and immediately tried calling the front desk. We tried shutting off the water but the valve was literally painted shut. We couldn't turn it. We were using garbage cans to scoop water into the shower. Someone finally comes like 15 minutes later and has to use a tool to shut the water off bc it's impossible to turn bc of the paint. Thinking back and after talking with a plumber friend, the toilet was definitely not flush with the wall. It was to far, that's the only reason i can think that it exploded. I've been potty trained for 34 years and have never ever had this happen or heard of it happening. Now, 8 months later they're sending me a half ass bill that only includes a receipt for $245 in carpet cleaning and a letter saying they want $500, which includes $255 for a toilet (no receipt). They are threatening that it "could've" costs thousands for ceiling damage in the lower room, mold etc. which they clearly didn't do. So we should just pay the $500 and be happy they aren't asking for more. They said that i sat back aggressively or kicked the toilet. I mean I've had to pee badly before but wouldn't say I'm an aggressive toilet sitter. And why on earth would someone kick a toilet tank, you'd break your foot. My thoughts are that if the valve wasn't painted shut, there'd be no water damage, the toilet was placed against code. And how on earth does a toilet explode?? Do i actually owe this? Bc it seems the hotel should be lucky i wasn't cut by glass by their faulty toilet placement. Any input is appreciated. ETA: since i just got trolled for being fat and apparently smelly. I understand I'm not at an ideal weight. I've had two kids recently. I was just putting that in bc i don't think I'm that big that i would break a normal toilet. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Oct 2018 02:14 PM PDT Good day Here's the situation. My grandfather petitioned my mother (his daughter) to immigrate to the US. After a couple of decades, she got her visa and because my sis and I are dependents, we got ours, too. My father was also a dependent but chose not to immigrate with us. We've been here in the US for 2 years now. We have done and we abide to all laws and we've followed all instructions to have a proper immigration process. We have our green cards, SSNs, bank accounts, etc. I've already had work and everything. Basically, we are now legal residents. My grandparents (including petitioner) live with us in an condo owned by my father's sister who has passed away. In her trust and will, she left all of her possessions to my father. There's currently a court case about this, but that's another, even longer story. Recently, a huge dispute erupted within my mother's family. My grandparents are on the other side of the dispute, against our family. There have been countless verbal only arguments between my parents and grandparents. Cops have been called countless times by my grandparents against my parents, but they haven't really said much as to try to handle it peacefully and orderly. They've called the cops on my parents for elder abuse when we haven't done anything to them at all and the cops even said there's not elder abuse. A few cops have already given my mom cards stating that there's no crime involved and it's a domestic problem. My grandparents have called us "demons" and have said that my parents looked like shit. In turn, my parents have said that they smell like shit, etc. Basically, shits fucked up in this household. We don't like them, they don't like us. Now my grandfather slipped up and told the cops that since he's the petitioner, he wants to have "them" (not sure if he means just my mom or all of us) deported and he's already supposedly talked to a judge. As far as we're concerned, we haven't broken any laws at all. We've told the government our permanent address, I've signed up for that conscription thing men my age have to do, we pay taxes, etc. My father is here on a multiple entry tourist visa and has not overstayed. Can my grandfather have us legally deported then? Thank you [link] [comments]  |
| Contractors stole from our apartment Posted: 05 Oct 2018 12:48 PM PDT I live in an apartment near the east coast with 2 roommates. We evacuated for Hurricane Florence. During the time that we were evacuated, the management from our apartment complex took pictures of the inside of our apartment and sent the pictures to us to show us the damages. The apartment complex hired contractors and they have been in an out of our apartment, working on the damages. Since then, we have noticed 2 items missing: a set of speakers from my room and a sound bar (speakers) from our living room. We looked back at the pictures that the apartment complex sent us, and the items were in the photos, meaning that they were stolen some time after the management evaluated damages and our door has been locked ever since. Therefore, we are pretty sure that the contractors stole our speakers. We went to the apartment complex office to report it and the manager of the contracting company was there and immediately got defensive, yelling and saying that she'd just reimburse us. My roommate bought a new sound bar and hasn't been reimsbursed yet by the woman. They still have access to our apartment and we don't feel safe. The woman reacted very aggressively and the contracting company is obviously very angry at us for taking action (we told the apartment complex and filed a police report) so we're a little freaked out knowing that these people have access to our apartment. Not to mention, we have other valuables here. Is there anything that we should be doing that we haven't done? Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| A pharmacy tech told their family about a prescription I’m on. What should I do? Posted: 05 Oct 2018 12:17 PM PDT My ex is a pharmacy technician at a local CVS. I recently got prescribed a medication that has a bit of a stigma attached to it. (A medication to help with opioid addiction) She wasn't the one who filled the prescription, but she often told me how she would look up people she knew on their system and would be able to see what they're prescribed. I found out that she told her mother (among other people I'm sure) that I was prescribed this medication and it has caused me personal and work related issues because the information was spread to members of my work and family. (Small town) no real damages have occurred,yet, but there is potential for them to arise. what should I do? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Oct 2018 12:01 PM PDT [Edit] I posted a transcribed version of my contract in the comments. I apologize for the long post. You can skip to the questions in bold at the end. I thought it would be fun to work at a haunted house this October so I got hired at an outdoor one. While scaring people is fun and I like my co-workers, the job itself is pretty hazardous to health and the boss treats its employees like crap. Here are some examples:
Anyway, that just gives you a taste of how the employees are treated. The supervisors are good people but the boss is a rich penny-pincher who gets mad when he has to sign paychecks even though he does nothing and is hardly paying us anything to being with. He also gets extremely angry when anyone quits. It's a rough environment and I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I don't know if I can continue to do this work or at least not every night of October. So here are my main question: Can my employer charge me a $25 fee if I reschedule my work days? I did signed a contract but it is very vague and I honestly wonder how much of it is enforceable. It states "You are allowed one schedule change, with advance notice to the casting director. For each additional schedule change you require, there will be a $25 penalty." I don't know if that means a one time fee for taking of multiple nights or if each night I take off is a $25 fee. Can my employer refuse to pay me for the nights I have worked if I quit? The contract states that I must work at least 13 nights or I will not be paid for any of the time I have worked. Additionally it states that there will be a $75 costume cleaning fee charged for breach of contract and this includes not showing up for my scheduled nights or not doing my job in a satisfactory manner. I have worked 9 exhausting nights and if I quit I want to be compensated (about $200) and there is no way I am going to pay $75 for quitting. Bonus question: Is it even legal for my boss to hire minors (14 and below) and treat them the way they are being treated? See 5th bullet. I would not have taken this job if I had known how hazardous it was and how poorly we would be treated. Maybe the contract is entirely enforceable but the whole situation just feels super sketchy. Is there anything I can do? [link] [comments]  |
| Traffic ticket fee triple of what's stated for the violation. Court closed for repairs. Posted: 05 Oct 2018 07:28 AM PDT I am in sheer panic... I was pulled over in a speed trap. The cop gave me 1-5mph over the speed limit (indicated on the ticket) but near that, it states $300 in fees. This goes above what the dis. court guidelines display on their website (should be $100). The highest traffic fee I'm seeing is $250 for speeding 25mph in a construction zone. None of these were the case. I have 10 days to appear in court, but the court had been closed "due to a building issue" for a week now! Beside the obvious concern about the ticket fee being so high, I also don't have the money to pay and I was hoping to ask the judge for point reduction as insurance is already very high in my state. Please help me asses my options, thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| [CA] Someone took out $45k in my name using a POA Posted: 04 Oct 2018 11:57 PM PDT I am recently divorced and discovered they (the ex spouse) took out $45k worth of loans in my name using the general Power of Attorney i granted them while I was out of the country. I was never notified of this and have text conversation in which they admit to doing this without my consent. They have been paying the loans back on time and have promised to continue doing so, but I obviously have no assurance of this and am considering taking them to court. Ten months ago I discovered they had been doing this for years across multiple credit accounts in my name (While I was out of the country as well), but they have paid those back in full before surprising me with another $45k of debt. I am currently between jobs and do not have a wealth of savings due to my recent move so I am coming here to seek some advice/information so I know what I will be getting myself into if/when I do this. I've looked this matter up and it seems as though I have every right to take them to court for breach of fiduciary duty. This has affected my credit score and has made it difficult for me to apply for loans or credit anywhere. Until recently I was unaware they did anything illegal since they used a PoA; how strong of a case against them will I have and how likely am I to win a case like this? If I sue and win will the debt still reside with the bank and in my name? If so, is there any way to get this debt away from my credit score and under their name so I can have good credit again? Perhaps my most important questions is how I can expect this to affect me financially and how long this will take? Will they be paying my legal fees in addition to the loans? Can I still take them to court for this in, say, a year from now, or do I need to do it now? I am also unsure how to go about starting this process other than just cold calling a lawyer. My apologies for all the questions, but I do not currently know anyone where I live, otherwise I would be asking them for advice. Edited to clarify that 'they' refers to the ex spouse and that I granted them the power of attorney. Edit: POA has already been terminated. [link] [comments]  |
| So my roommate got busted with cocaine. What should I do? Posted: 05 Oct 2018 11:22 AM PDT So I've been living in an apartment nearby my univeristy since August. I have 3 roommates who I had never met before and we all signed separate leases. I don't really associate with them and know very little about them. This morning at 6 am cops disguised as UPS workers broke into the apartment and handcuffed cuffed us all. They had a search warrant and they began to tear through the whole house. After cuffing me and talking to me they let me go and told me to come back in two hours once they were done searching. I came home to what I assumed was a copy of the warrant and a list of seized items. It claimed that they had found cocaine in one of my roommates bedrooms. I had no clue this was going on and I've never even seen cocaine before. Luckily they did not seize any of my property but the rest of my roommates had their electronics seized. So I need to know what the best move is for me going forward. Am I in trouble? How can I protect myself best? Should I try to get out of my lease and move? Or should i wait to see if he gets evicted? I have no clue what's going on and I could really use some advice [link] [comments]  |
