Q. Are mandatory tip pooling and taking away tips from others if unsatisfied with the work legal?

September 20, 2021

A: You should make your parents aware of this matter and if they choose, they can call me to discuss your options. Another avenue is to have your parents contact the MN Department of Labor and Industry's wage and hour division. Hope that helps. leliilaw.com

Q. Is it legal for an employer to deny an unpaid leave of absence for an employee getting help for addiction?

February 24, 2021

A: An employer in Minnesota must comply with statutory law regarding providing treatment for addiction when requested. I suggest you consult with an employment law attorney so she or he can determine how the facts of your case show the employer is liable to you for violating the law. Employment is tricky and facts that appear to be favorable could be disfavorable. Good luck.

Q. Work comp continuing to pay me lost wages told them I’m back to work multiple times. What do I do?

December 14, 2020

A: Hello Sir. A worker's compensation claim that is valid is one reason they keep paying you. Sorry for your injuries. You should contact an attorney who specializes in workers' compensation. My guess is you may receive a settlement for the case. I would not cash the checks or be prepared to return the money if that turns out to be necessary. Hope your recovery is speedy.
