  • New York State labor laws. When to punch in before starting?

    My employer requires we punch in 10 mins before start time.we then have to get all of our items needed for work ready and start at 8. We do not get paid for those 10 mins. It is just proof we are there at that time.

    I do not feel I should touch a thing until 8 and give my employer 10 mins of my time every day. This adds up to 50 mins a week or 200 mins a month..I.e.3 hrs 20 mins a month.

    I know this happened at a bank recently and the employer had to back pay employees.

  • What can I do about age discrimination?

    To make a long story short...I was hired at a local resturant to wait tables....was told I would be called on Monday with my sch. I called on Monday when I had not heard anything and was told they were not finished because girls wanted time off...went in a few days later and owner told me he changed his mind because I am too old ( i am 55 ) I have witnesses to this...in fact he told me twice he was concerned about my age. Also, this morning I went there for breakfast and one of the waitresses told me she is so sorry he would not hire me, he only likes young girls and said he would not hire me because he only likes 9's and 10's and i am a 2 in his eyes....I have documented everything, have witnesses, dates of phone calls etc...should I contact a lawyer?

  • Non treatment of blood clot (DVT) in calf.?

    I recently went to the ER for leg pain and bruising...diagnosed with a blood clot in calf. The doctor told me that closts below the knee are generally left untreated. However, I was going to fly a few days later so he put me on coumadin. I then cancelled my flight.

    I am having a hard time keeping my INR's at the 2.0 level...however, now that i am not flying should I continue with the coumadin. I asked the doctor if baby asprirn would be a good subsitute...she said that it would because of the location of the clot...if not for flying she would not have put me on coumadin. Anyone else stop the coumadin and take baby aspirin instead.

  • Could these drugs have caused my elevated liver enzymes?

    For at least 3 years I took Darvocet N 100 once or twice a day, sometimes none for tarsal tunnel pain and flare ups for fibromyalgia. This was a nice drug....not to strong...did not want lortabs. When it was pulled from the market I started taking about 4 tylenol a day. 2 weeks ago I had such bad stomach ache...almost like a gallbladder attack...could not eat...vomitting. Had to go to the hospital...was admitted to ICU for 5 days with critical elevated liver enzymes. Could these drugs have done this?
