What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I was employed at a Dental Clinic where I greeted patients and helped them get to their prospective treatments. My supervisor, who befriended me also, liked my personality and invited me to work for her own business. She promised me the same benefits I had at the Dental Clinic: 2 weeks paid vacation, 64 hours sick pay yearly and 12 dollars per hour. I decided to work for her since she seemed like a good friend. She took me to Vegas once and paid for the room and meals, she also invited me and my husband to her house for her daughter's birthday. After working for her about 9 months, I asked her for a raise and she said no. I asked her for my 2 week vacation check and 64 hour sick pay check because I was never sick, but she claimed she never offered me such benefits. As it was, I was stressed out because I never got lunch or break periods, which I agreed to and my hand was hurting because of repetitive work on the computer. I never got my work related injuries treated for weeks because I didn't want to disrupt my friends business by not showing up to work, despite my husband's objections. But when I realized she wasn't the friend I thought she was and that she lured me away from a good job with promises to give me the same immediate benefits, I went ahead and requested Workers Comp paper work so I could get treated for my stress and hand injury. My boss told me she would get the paper work for me but she never did. I went to a meeting with her and her husband with my husband to explain the situation that needed their immediate attention but they fired me after I told them I wouldnt be back to work until I felt better. Also, I voiced my objection to my boss's demands that I add 10 to 20 dollars onto UPS charges, which contributed to my termination. I found out that they never had workers comp. insurance when I filed my case. My question is: Did my boss commit Fraud (Intentional Misrepresentation) by luring me away from a good job with promises of the same benefits which it seems she knew she wouldn't provide?
