Sure you just run with that advice. No lawyer is going to touch that case on contingency.
Allow me to guess… University of Phoenix Grad?
If you don't get sub pay, don't sign anything. If they bad mouth you to another potential employer, sue them silly!
Of course it is in NYS. Wouldn’t surprise me if they even gave the employees complete Summer Days off. Are they even back from the Candian wild fire vacation yet?
I never wonder anymore about why nothing works or gets done in NYC.
Employer policies or practices of paying out severance.
If your employer has a policy of paying severance (Sub) to all employees (or at least to all employees who are laid off or otherwise lose their jobs through no fault of their own), you might be legally entitled to a severance (Sub) payment. Courts sometimes interpret a regular history of paying out severance as a contract—or promise by your employer—to pay severance to all laid off employees.
This is from a rational and informed person.
Therefore I predict that it will massively downvoted.
But reality has a certain persistence to it regardless of downvotes.
No company is required to give you sub pay. Go ahead and waste your time and money suing. You won’t get anywhere. It’s ‘at will’ employment. Definition = In United States labor law, at-will employment is an employer's ability to dismiss an employee for any reason, and without warning, as long as the reason is not illegal. When an employee is acknowledged as being hired "at will", courts deny the employee any claim for loss resulting from the dismissal.
yes definitely worth it, most lawyers take this on contingency. no cost until you win
I'm the one who posted that they likely wouldn’t qualify for UE. I should point out that I've had plenty of employees in NYS and the UE office is pretty partial to workers compared to companies and it's usually not worth it for employers to waste much time fighting it.
Anybody knows what does it cost to discuss a frivolous lawsuit with a lawyer?
The real issue… people have become so entitled from WFH that they want a nice long paid vacation. Problem is that they’re already outed and won’t get the package. This will be a tough life lesson and hopefully a learning experience.
@jqp, I'm not so sure they'd qualify for unemployment if they quit coming to work
I’ve had it with people who are endlessly flummoxed in their jobs while being incredibly creative about getting over. Glad to hear that they can’t game unemployment
That’s probably true that they wouldn’t qualify for unemployment if they quit coming to work, but I wouldn’t know… never having been layed off in my life.
Im glad to hear that.
Ha! Yes, please sue the Bank and let us know how that goes.
Keep in mind that the person that heads are HR department is a lawyer. Just putting my two cents in.
@jqp, I'm not so sure they'd qualify for unemployment if they quit coming to work.
Nope. Obviously you’re concerned with your performance and/or compliance with RTO. That’s the only way that you’ll be displaced for cause and in that case there is no SUB.
You will have unemployment. My advice to you is some self reflection. Life is not about getting over and work is intrinsic our beings.
