Legal Answers
- Q. I have worked for a local hospital from home doing prior auth for 8 years and now they are forcing me to come in-house.
- A: More information would be needed in order to effectively answer your question. Can you not perform you work correctly in house because of a disability? if that were the case, you may be able to attempt to get reasonable accommodations. If you just prefer to work at home and they are requiring you to work at the office, your employer is well within their rights to require you to come into the office.
- Q. I recently purchased a vehicle at a dealership. I was lied to and purchased the service contract. Can I still cancel?
- A: You may be able to fight this contract but additional information would be needed to give a meaningful evaluation. Typically, when you sign a contract you are expected to know the contents thereof and often times such contracts disclaim representation made by employees regarding the contract. It is also unclear what type of service agreement you purchased. Was it for additional insurance, warranty, or something else? If you stand to lose a lot of money by honoring the service contract, it may be worth your while to have an attorney review it.
- Q. Can I take my employer to civil court if I am waiting for eeoc interview and I have solid proof of discrimination
- A: In short, no. You have to exhaust the administrative remedies before seeking recourse through a personal civil law suit. An employment attorney could help you navigate how to expedite the process, however.
