What is the name of your state? KS
I was working for the KFC franchise in (&*$%@), KS when i was leaving work one night and was jumped by a co-employee and his girlfriend. The KFC owner/secretary said that they could not fire the co-employee until he was convicted. The actual assault happened 08/01 and the employee was not convicted till several months later. When he plead guilty I informed the KFC office/secretary and told her I could have a clergy send the paper works. She said "It Is not nec. if we need any paper work I can call and get them. The employee continued to have employment through KFC and when I questioned about this I was told that the current store he worked for (the same one I was assaulted at) would be closing down and the easiest way for him to lose his job was to transfer everyone from that store excluding him. He would not be transfered and would at that point no longer be employed by KFC. The store closed a month/two ago and the employee was transferred to another KFC store.
I have questioned a number of people on this however I am receiving "the cold shoulder" on the situation and have been told on a number of occasions that I should not worry about it/just let it go. The employee assaulted me leaving work(both of us) in the KFC parking lot and as a result of this I had to be transfered. The employee is not alowed to be within 5,000 feet of me for 5 years and as a result of that (for my safety) I can not attend any employee trips or activities; even though the supervisor of the current wichita KFC restaurants I am now working for (and my mngr. when it happened) said I can and that the employee would not be dumb enough to try anything. I feel I have been very patient in waiting for the employee to receive his departure from being employed under the KFC restaurants and have been lied to and mistreated very unaccordingly of a professional/responsible business. I did not want to file a LAW SUIT against the KFC franchise I am working for. Right now I will do whatever is necessary to receive the acts I was told would be done to the employee, lawsuit or not. My patience has run out. Is there anything I can do about this?? How long do I have after the employee was convicted or the actual (removal from employment) was supposed to happen did not to file a claim or lawsuit. PLZ I really need some Reliable, Educated answers on this. AND if so who or what kind of lawyer do i find that will represent me?
