Hello I have been let go from my job about a year ago because I did not agree on taking the COVID vaccine nor getting a require COVID test every two weeks at an out of pocket expense. I was at my job for 15yrs here in California. I continue to go to work day after day being herrased by management untill the very last lay when I got to work and they said I had to leave because I didn't provide them with proof of COVID vaccine or a negative test. I don't know if I have any rights at this point. Can you help?My employer said at the time, not to come back to work untill I provide what they asked for. Also a few weeks later I got a call from my lead asking to turn in my badge and uniform. I've been having a hard time trying to get unemployment from them as well. I have my elderly father who depends on me to provide for him. Any suggestions or leads will be much appreciated.

Hi I have been laid off of a program iwas on because my production was down I will be called back end of September . I have worked for the company for 25 plus years and never been laid off. Can I get my severance pay. I have only been off on sick benefits

My ex employer recently made some changes to the organizational structure - changed my title and job responsibilities based on this new org structure. I did ask for an offer letter multiple times to make my so called new position official but it was never provided to me. Due to this stress I went on a two weeks leave and they transferred me to a different location with an explanation that this new location is closer to my home and is smaller in size so it won't cause me as much stress. Work location was my last concern, but due to the change in responsibilities, working hours and my title, I decided to hand in my resignation. I'm not sure if I am still eligible for severance pay under constructive dismissal as there is a 90 day period to act on such things if I'm not wrong, and in my case since there was no official letter or email provided I'm not sure if it has been 90 days since they started forcing me and colleagues to drop our responsibilities and change our position title. Please note - there was no change in my salary, however my bonus was deducted with a higher amount and when I asked for an explanation it was not provided to me.

Can I be fired for refusing to sign a contract amendment?

I have been with a company for 23 months and I work from home. I have had to use my own equipment such as my laptop, printer, monitors, internet, heating & electricity, my own Microsoft office programs, estimating program (excel based) and my own cell phone and have not been compensated for this at all. My contract does not state that I have to use my own equipment and such and I was promised a laptop but it never was sent to me. The only thing I received was a cell phone after using mine for 16 months. I have found another job and will be leaving the company in 2 weeks so my question is am I entitled for reimbursement for the use of my equipment? If they were to open an office they would have had to supply all of this before I started with the company so can you tell me what I am entitled to?
