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.

- Q. Can my boss call a mandatory employee meeting, have everyone clock in then make them shave that hour off another day?
- A: Your employer can adjust your schedule unless you have a contract stating otherwise. It appears your employer is paying you for all hours worked. Therefore, your employer's conduct is lawful.
- Q. Salary expert 35k no admin work, no employees. does not receive overtime. Works building displays
- A: A position must meet certain requirements to qualify as exempt from overtime. A salary test is the first requirement. Currently, a job must pay a minimum salary of at least $43,888 per year to qualify for an exemption from overtime. This amount will increase to $58,656 on January 1, 2025.
If the salary test is met, the next requirement is the duties test. The employee's duties must be analyzed to determine if the position qualifies for an exemption.
Overtime exemptions primarily apply to white-collar jobs. Most blue-collar jobs do not qualify for an exemption. You should talk to an attorney if you have concerns that your specific job does not qualify for an exemption.
- Q. Can my boss force me to fill out a request for reasonable accommodation?
- A: Your employer may request that you and your medical provider complete an accommodation request form.
However, your question is a bit confusing and raises a lot of follow up questions. The purpose of an accommodation is to allow you to perform the essential functions of your job. You should not be removed from a job simply because you requested an accommodation. You should contact an attorney to discuss your matter in further detail.
