I have been in the process of leaving my job. Offed to work an extra day, to help releave stress, due to the business place being a restaurant that is very short staffed. Today (may 13th day before motherday.) i ask if i am still allowed to take my tips; as they are not part of my net pay, theyre more of a thank you from the owners being a kitchen staff member. Anyways he replied by cussing at me from a text from a friend and formal work partner, then a text directly from my boss that continues to cuss me out once again. I am wondering what i can do to prevent this from happening; as it has happened in slightly less hostile situations of my awareness between the formal employee and the boss. I have been there for 2 years on the 24th of may 2017

After 26 years of employment they have determined a violation of a policy and have terminated my employment. The union is representing me with a grievance. Is the employer obligated to pay me . If so , what timeline does this occur? Thank you

I went through my employees personal texts and got caught... can I get fired ?

I have an employee , who has worked for me approx 7 weeks. Has missed several days, due to family and personnel obligations. This past Tuesday May 9 2017 he called before work and said he was sick and would not be in today. Later in the afternoon he shows up with a note from a doctor telling him to take the next six weeks off work so they could find out what was causing his diarrhea and vomiting . I operate 3 man auto repair shop and find it very difficult to run the business with a man less. I have not been very satisfied with his work or work ethics since he started working here. Would I have any legal problems with wrongfull dismissal since he has a doctors and replace him some one else.
