Also my new boss said we do not get any sick days. Is it not a law that everyone gets 3 days?

If you have medical coverage and a new owner takes over can they just terminate your previous benefits and give you nothing?

My son works as a delivery driver and he is getting paid $185 a day. Some days his route takes 7 hours to do and others only 5. The manager messaged all the drivers and told them that if they finished their routes before 6 pm, the following week they would get less shifts. My son usually works 3 or 4 days a week, and next week only has 2 shifts. Is the company legally allowed to reduce the shifts because the drivers finish early? The manager will tell them that they have less routes next week, but he had already messaged them about shift reductions.

Is this fair and legal? Thank you for your time. Dean Coles

My employer has requested that I have my physician complete a Functional Abilities form (FAF) even though I have not and have never requested any accommodations. I have also not been injured or taken any time off work for a work related injury. I believe they are trying to build a case against me to terminate me or force me to resign. I have refused to complete the FAF. Do I have to complete the FAF because they requested one?
