Michigan;

On 10/29/01 my wife accepted an offer of employment. She left a full time job to accept this new position with the implied understanding that the new job was full time. Since her official start date she has worked one week at full time, been off with no work or pay for one week, and managed at best, fifteen hours per week over the balance of her employment. To date this situation has cost us over a thousand dollars in gross income.

She has no binding agreement with the employer ; i.e.- employment agreement, union contract, which says anything regarding full time status or rate of pay. There is however an employment verification form submitted by the employer to our mortgage company that states - according to our loan officer - that she was hired for full time employment, forty hours per week, at twelve dollars per hour.

This situation has placed us in financial jeopardy; making it hard just to pay the bills and buy groceries. Not to mention threatening our credit rating and ability to secure a second mortgage. The question is, should she leave this employer, guaranteed unless her hours increase prior to 12-26-01, do we stand a chance should we decide to sue over lost income and the attendant damage to our financial well being?

Thanks in advance;
Kevin C. Campbell
