Lawyers Opinion Needed

haha

You cant just sue them. They might have to rehire you or pay you EI.

I'm not a qualified Lawyer, but from my studies, without any valid reason they cannot just dismiss you/tell you to quit. Let alone forge your documentation, the only possible reason behind this could be some-type of clause in a contract you signed with them?

I forgot to mention I tried to reapply and they denied me.

hmmm tricky situation.  time is definitely not on your side as this happened almost six months ago and you're just now bringing it to the table.  you're going to spend more fighting it than it will be worth. 

for most civil cases I believe you have 7 years

so do i have a case or what?

Lawyers' opinion needed does not equal Newschoolers' opinion needed. Don't get advice on specialized areas like labour from the internet. If you want to do something, go consult with someone in your area. It shouldn't be too hard to find.

Yea I know I am going to a lawyers office later this week, just wondering the consensus of the people.

Check your State's Labor and Industries website also

Im not a lawyer, but here is my 2 cents.

1. You were wrongfully terminated under simple misunderstanding.
2. If your employer had a hint of coolness to them, or should I say...ability to understand their fuck-up, they would re-hire you.
3. They should want to rehire you given you are trained, you had a simple misunderstanding really, and its really just a small problem.
4. They made it out to be a big problem, they denied you employment, and they are not understanding this situation, or they do understand it...and they simply do not need more staff...or they don't want you to work there.

So you could fight them and maybe budge your way in to the job. But when you do get this job back, will yuor employer treat you fairly? In other words are you going to get stuck working shitty shifts, or low hours because well....you forced your way back in when they originally said no. Managers and stuff would presumably hold a grudge against you since some "little punk" (not calling you a punk...but no one likes being shown up by a younger person) was able to get their job back when they had done everything in their power to stop it from happening.

So I will kind of repeat what was said earlier, is the job worth this kind of trouble? Was it really that awesome of a place to work? It could be a lot less cool with your managers not wanting you to work there......


My experience, once you have the big shots not liking you at a job, you get stuck working shit shifts and shit for hours. A big box electronics store even just put my hours at 0 until I quit my job. Since by employing you...they don't have to give you hours...you are still employed....they just don't need you now.

good luck, no one is going to care about the plight of a terminated, seasonal, teenage employee. Sad, but true.

Newschoolers: Attorney at Law.

i like it

hes a shop tech, shop techs are usually not teenage employees.

what they did was obviously not right, and obviously illegal. they either fire you, or YOU yourself quits. so either you should be collecting unemployment or you should be working.

i would fight it man, you've been out of work for quite some time, which they would have to pay for (like if you hit someone with your car and really injure them, part of the ass load of money you have to pay is because they could not work).

but my question is:
What ski shop is worth 5 billion dollars? its a ski company right? its an actual shop (i assume it is, since your a shop tech)? what state is this?

hey im 21.

burn the place to the ground.

the amount of gasoline needed would cost me too much.

What would could you too much is trying to sue a company with 5 billion in net worth. But I'd like to see it happen. Go find a lawyer.

California is an "at will" state they can fire you for any reason or no reason, (except reasons prohibited by law, age, sex, race...)

what the fuck did you just say??

haha wow I need to go to bed. What would *cost* him too much money is trying to sue a company that according to him has a $5 billion net worth. They could afford some nasty lawyers.

lets face it, unless you are a minority female with downs, you aren't going to win a wrongful termination lawsuit.

I would pm Drew he knows whats up in legal matters.  But in my experience (a business law class) yes you have a case, you are not passed time, and if you're otherwise unemployed it is definitely worth the time for a suit.  Good luck
