Kirton M. Madison
It’s not JUST a job. For most people, their job is directly tied to their livelihood. It’s how we provide for our families and take care of our loved ones. Like most people, you probably spend more time at your job than you do at home. You’ve missed out on important family events and things you enjoy doing due to your job.
The sacrifices you’ve made can make job disputes like discrimination, harassment, unpaid wages, unequal pay, or wrongful termination feel like a PERSONAL attack.
You have so much on your plate. Let an experienced professional help you through this. Kirton has over 10 years of experience and he is passionate about employee rights. He will FIGHT for you.
We also offer limited services to employers such as drafting employee handbooks and policies that comply with North Carolina and Federal workplace laws.

- Q. My employer paid me a stipend for an educational training and is now asking me to pay that stipend back.
- A: In NC, your employee agreement, if there is one in place, will usually dictate whether you must repay the stipend to your employer. If the contract is silent on this matter, be sure the agreement does not incorporate an employee handbook or another document that informs employees of their requirement to repay the stipend.
If an obligation to repay the stipend exists, the burden is on your employer to provide proof of this obligation. You should ask them to provide documentation supporting their claim.
- Q. I requested accommodations for sched change at my job. They refuse and keep writing me up due absences. Is this fair?
- A: Was your request for a modified schedule based on a medical condition? Did you provide supporting documentation for this request from your medical provider? If so, the hospital's refusal to entertain your request or discuss alternative accommodations could be a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. If you haven't already, you should submit your request for an accommodation in writing and contact an employment law attorney as soon as possible to discuss your options.
- Q. After employee is terminated, how long does employer have to send final paycheck to employee?
- A: In North Carolina, the employer must provide the final paycheck on or before the next regular payday.
You will need to provide more information about the employee who did not show up for work one day.
Is this a salaried employee who worked remotely or worked a partial day?
Is this an employee who worked remotely and simply did not show up to work in the office?
Why are you concerned that not paying the employee would be considered retaliation?
