Workman’s Compensation Concerns

Brian explains to a caller that settling a workman’s compensation claim — in any state — is something that requires expertise and much thought. There could be ramifications with social security later, and even a settlement might not be the best idea. If your attorney is aggressive, why not go to trial?

Social Security Denied Me

Matt and Justin explain that the Social Security Administration often turns people down, only to have those decisions reversed once an attorney gets involved. Matt suggests the caller should find an attorney well-versed in this area of the law and fight the decision.

Is a Non-Compete Agreement Enforceable?

Brian explains that sometimes, non-compete agreements are enforceable, but the only way to find out for sure is to hire a good attorney — well-versed in labor law — and have them go over the contract with a fine-toothed comb.

Am I Liable as a Board Member for a Non-Profit Organization?

Brian points out that even on a non-profit organization board, a person could face some liability. It is important to find out and understand exactly what the organization does and then to examine whether you might need extra insurance coverage to make yourself safer.

Employer Cutting Back on Hours

Brian explains that while an employer can generally hire and fire employees who are “at-will,” they cannot hire and fire preferentially based upon things like gender, age and race. Questions like these need to be answered by an attorney.

Can the IRS Garnish Your Wages Without Telling You?

A caller has had his wages garnished by the IRS. Can they do that without notice? John Gitone, the enrolled agent, explains that they usually send several notices, informing the tax payer of the intent to garnish. Once that notice is sent, you MUST respond to it or you will see your wages garnished.

New Rules at Work!

A caller’s workplace has changed the rules and is now requiring employees to meet quotas, even though the various workers do different jobs. Brian explains how this MIGHT be legal, depending on the contract. At least this caller is lucky; he belongs to a union. Brian directs the caller to speak to a union rep and see whether this new set of rules is justified under the contract.
