Legal Answers
- Q. Can I file a suit against a company after I receive the Right to Sue? Only have 90 days. Can I file it myself or?????
- A: Yes, the Right to Sue means you have 90 days from the date of the Right to Sue to file your lawsuit. It can be filed by you (called filing pro se, without a lawyer) or you can search for attorneys to file it for you. I would not rely on finding an attorney - you should be mindful of the filing deadline while you are searching for counsel, to ensure you don't miss it.
- Q. I live in ohio and make $13 per hour as a barista. My boss allows me to keep cash tips but not digital tips
- A: Good morning, this practice may be unlawful. I would recommend speaking with an attorney about this. Feel free to give our office a call - we'd be happy to discuss it with you. 614 610 9755.
- Q. Does a employer in Ohio have the right to mandate face mask to be worn? Never shut down or worn masks until now
- A: Generally, yes. Employers can require the usage of PPE to protect employees against the spread of COVID-19. Is the employer singling you out by requesting that only you wear one? Is there a specific reason you do not wish to wear one, like a religious reason, for example?
