Legal Answers
Q. I need to know if a person managing a motel is paid by the hour or on a day rate. This person is not an administrator.
A: How the employee is paid is a matter of agreement between the employer and the employee. State and Federal minimum wage requirements must be met but how the wage is calculated is not a firm matter of law.
Q. What steps can you take if a shady employer took down personal information during job interview?
A: Unless the employer is using your information for illegal purposes there is nothing you can do. Your information was provided to him voluntarily.
Q. In the criminal justice system does the burdon of proof fall on the defense attorney?
A: This depends on the situation. Generally the plaintiff, in this case the state must prove all elements of the alleged complaint. The burden may shift to the defense if proof is offered or there is an affirmative defense. I hope this helps.
