Legal Answers
- Q. My boss told me that if I apply for FMLA I may need to take a demotion.
- A: This may constitute interference with your FMLA rights, as well as retaliation. You should speak with a South Carolina employment lawyer in more detail about your situation.
- Q. Employer Limiting Freedom of Speech
- A: Interfering with an employee’s right to discuss the terms and conditions of the workplace with coworkers likely violates the National Labor Relations Act and could be reported to the National Labor Relations Board through a filed complaint. And if an employee is fired for engaging in protected conversations with coworkers, that could also violate the NLRA. You can speak with an employment lawyer in your home state to discuss in more detail.
- Q. I have a non compete, it says I can’t work in the industry I have been working in. Will a court actually side with this
- A: Possibly, but it will depend on the specific language in the agreement. You can reach out to a SC non-compete lawyer for a consult so you understand your obligations.
