Is it legal for my employer to have me to clock out for required travel? | Aug 27, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Arizona, USA. The travel takes place during my usual working hours and is strictly required for me to keep my job. I will start my day at my usual workplace, and then a few hours later I am being asked to clock out “for liability reasons” and drive 1 hour away to a different location for a biannual meeting with my medical director. Everyone in the company is required to do this, and my team is paid hourly. Even if no one is worried about missing an hour of pay/gas money, how could my company really try to avoid liability for work-required travel? If I die on this drive, isn’t that literally their liability? At least partially?
Looking for an employment lawyer in Arizona but I’m low on funds | Jul 26, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Phoenix Arizona I filed an internal grievance against my boss for discrimination after he accused me of retaliating against a coworker after using 5 paid sick days for the flu(i had submitted a positive flu test with a doctors note). I recorded the meeting with the hr director in regards to the grievance and was assured everything would be handled and to expect a reset meeting to strengthen communication. The next day, my boss was flown in from Riverside, California and asked me to go to the office with him. I also recorded this session as well given given its a one party state. He wrote me up for allegedly telling my boss 5 days prior that “I’m not coming in” for a shift where I woke up late. A few weeks, he flew in again to give me a performance review, which was very positive. I recorded that session as well but confronted him on the details of the write up, where he admitted that he told me to stay home and rest because I seemed very tired. My vacation time for that day was also approved . Even with the evidence I brought to the employer, they still decided to close my claim and there was never a reset meeting. Do I have validity for a retaliation claim? I also suffered a documented breach of confidentiality that ruined my reputation within the company.
Work doesn't have final paycheck 10 days after firing me, and 15 days after my final work day. | Jul 25, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Washington State I began a job on Monday, July 6th, and worked there for four days. I couldn't come in that Friday or the Monday after, which I called in for, but they fired me for it anyway. I know Washington's an at-will state, so that's not my concern, I'm just giving the timeline. They pay employees every Friday, but didn't have my check when they fired me the following Tuesday (July 14th). I was told as they fired me that they'd have it "next Friday" (which I assumed meant the Friday of next week, July 24th), however I went in to get it and they still don't have it. I'm not sure if they actually didn't get it or if it was just misplaced. They told me to email the headquarters (in Arizona if it matters) and the headquarters responded that they can PayPal me the money, set up a seperate payroll and pay me that way, or resend the check to the location I worked at in a 24-48 hour time period (which seems to imply that my location misplaced the check). I have already responded to them that I want them to resend the check to the location. The 24 hours hasn't passed yet, but a couple hours after the interaction my dad said that it's illegal for them to not have my check yet, and that I could potentially get more money from them. It's probably important to note that I hadn't actually gotten a…
