Can I change the days on which an employee works to suit the needs of the business?

Mr Miyagi asked:

We recently took over a business where none of the employees had any contracts. We issued new contracts which does say from time to time peoples hours will change to suit the business and they will be required to be flexible. We took all staff on and retained the rota’d hours.

After a period of time we assessed the job roles, when and where people were working, trading patterns and due to financial constraints where we can become more efficient.

I have tried to discuss with 1 person (cleaner) the need to change their hours from a midweek morning to a sunday morning but with only negative response. After trying to discuss this a few times and getting no joy I informed the individual that due to the needs of the business we would probably not be needing them in on tuesday morning as trade doesn’t justify the need but would require them in on a sunday. I did not discuss timescales but it would not have been immediately probably a few weeks notice which I would have discussed.

This individual said they would not work a sunday (and not for religious reasons but hasn’t given one) and has since handed their notice in saying they just not working sundays full stop!.

I have explained to them we don’t want them to leave but need to change things to suit the business. The business is a pub/restaurant with no cleaners in on a sunday morning following the busiest trading day. On the flip side there is no need for a cleaner in on a tuesday.

We have altered other peoples hours with no problems.

Am I being fair and reasonable as worried this person could claim constructive dismissal?

How to file a wrongful business suit?

confused asked:

I recently had my computer repaired in a small computer repair store, and had to have a new motherboard put in, well shorty after i noticed that the usb ports didnt work, and found out that to fix the problem I had to replace the motherboard. While dell was looking at the computer they said that that motherboard had been registered to a previous owner, and it was a dell latitude motherboard, and I have a dell inspiron laptop. And those two computers are almost identical and the parts are interchangable, so i figure he had a spare motherboard laying around and wanted to make a little extra money, so he just put a used motherboard in my computer, and charged me for a brand new one. I am going to contact him, and demand my money back or threaten to sue, and I was wanting more information on how I would sue if it comes to that.

mybusiness2 asked:

I need to know all the expenses, all the money coming in. And even how and when they paid (if they did pay so already), the settlement suit won by US government against them.

Are there different routes to go about it if the hospital is PRIVATE or publicly funded?

darkprisonangel asked:

Several weeks after a depositor’s death, Chase Manhattan Bank paid 12 checks on the deceased depositor’s account. The depositor’s signature on the checks had been forged. The estate sued Chase, and Chase sued the estate’s attorneys.

The estate’s attorneys advised Chase of the depositor’s death. Three weeks before Chase paid any of the forged checks, the attorney’s gave Chase a copy of the death certificate and a court order to examine his deposit box.

Of the parties mentioned, is anyone liable?

~ D ~ asked:

I had recently quit a job. Now as I am trying to get new employment, my old manager is extremely lying on reasons why I left to ruin my chances of employment. I do have documentation from one prospective employer. Can I press charges and/or file a civil suit against her for slander/defimation of character and if so what else? Please help. I have been unemployed for over 2 months due to this action.
Like I said , I do have documentation as to the lies she is telling about me, and YES I was an outstanding employee. The owners of the business have nothing bad to say about me. SHE is my only reason for leaving

I C asked:

How do you determine if plaintiff and defendants are living in 2 different states such as NJ and NY ?

I am in NJ and the potential defendants are living in outside of New York City.
2 different cases.
1) I have paid off the loan and asked for the paid off statment without getting any written response. Should I file in a county small claims court in what state ?

2) I have a business contract to be paid more than 100K. Not getting a good response either. Should I file in a county supreme court in what state ?

Please advice…
Thanks.

If we were to be in the business of REdefining marriage to suit the homosexuals?

March 4, 2010 by admin · 4 Comments
Filed under: Law & Ethics 
business suit
Mrs. Somebody asked:

What is the legal or moral reason the homosexuals might give to not allow polygamist marriage? If you say ‘none’ and you are for polygamist marriage do you realize the absolute never-ending nightmare of property and parental rights cases due to polygamist divorce? But all are consenting adults, so how dare you stop them?

If we say we must redefine historical marriage to suit some newcomers, what is then the argument to stop all newcomers? We already scrapped the historical basis, so any objections after the fact have no defense.

It is called Pandora’s box. Historically it has been left for reasons additional to the obvious (family = mommy + daddy.)

Even if you were to ’split the baby’ so to speak and say polygamists cannot jointly share property, then that is not *actually* marriage (all new faux-civil rights mobs to look forward to, bigot!)

Also, polygamy is part of a society which demeans women.

How do we stop this historical rewriting of marriage, its consequences and ensuing injustice?
The point is what is your justification for ‘discriminating’ against polygamists? Simply defining marriage as a two-person institution does not give a REASON for leaving them out. We know it would complicate the courts but that is not a LEGAL REASON. If not allowing ‘gay marriage’ is discrimination then not allowing polygamist marriage (which actually has a historical background) is discrimination also and you must find a legal reason otherwise.

My boyfriend thinks he is being followed by men in business suits?

The Rabbit asked:

Okay now before you sign him off as a paranoid psycho… just listen for a second.

I had a hard time believeing him at first, too.

It is true that whenever we are out together, we see strange looking men in business suits.

And this one time, he was in Subway, when this man-yes, you guessed it, in a business suit-came in and, without ordering, sat down at a table near him and just watched my boyfriend.

And this other time, he was using the bathroom at his school and a bald fellow in a suit came in and washed his hands and said hello to him, and called him by name.

There is no reason for a bald man in a business suit to be in a school unless he works there, and he doesn’t.

There is no reason for a bald man in a business suit to know my boyfriend’s name unless they know each other, which they do not.

What should he/we do?
He just told me this:
Today there was a woman wearing like a business type suite “observing my class”
