1. A question about independent contractors and clause on tax forms...
  
  I never said the ICs need to be paid out of US accounts, just in US dollars. Of course those US dollars can be paid out of a Canadian bank account.

2. A question about independent contractors and clause on tax forms...
  
  OK. I have been a senior-level HR Director for 30+ years, working for Canadian-based multinationals and managing the employment of many American ICs. Here's what OP needs to do to be legal: Establish a business presence in the US. Research American IC vs employee laws. If the people he's...

3. Setting boundaries at work
  
  OP if you don't have an HR department/person at your workplace, and he reacts badly to your polite, professional email, then I reco you go straight to the EEOC. They will ask you what you did to try and stop the behavior, and you can show them the email you sent (this is why I say you should...

  Here's something you can say in an email to him: "Your confession about your feelings towards me, and the emails with flowers and emojis that followed, have made me very uncomfortable. As a result, I'm not enjoying my job here nearly as much as I used to. Can you please stop with the...

5. Orientation rates, contract changes & being bullied
  
  As long as they're paying you at least minimum wage for each and every hour you put in for them, no matter what you're doing during those hours, they are in compliance with the law. They are not legally required to negotiate pay levels with you. Bullying employees (and prospective employees)...

6. Wrongful Termination and Harassment
  
  The EEOC doesn't care whether your final written warning was retaliatory or not. The EEOC cares only if you were discriminated against based on things like your race, gender, religion, age (but only if you're over 40), and/or disability. On what basis do you believe your former employer...

7. Discretionary Bonus Denial
  
  Legally, the term "discretionary bonus" means that it's a bonus that is payable solely at the whim of the employer. It seems that your wife's employer's whim this year is to not pay this bonus to your wife. This is perfectly legal. Your wife has no legal recourse to obtain this bonus.

8. Wrongful termination?
  
  I don't understand this phrase "doctors cleared me for work after saying my injuries wold be permanent if I continued job duties" - do you mean that your doctors said you could return to work even though returning to work would cause you to become you permanently disabled? This seems odd. OP...

9. Employee retaliation against supervisors
  
  HR is handling it exactly as their job description requires them to do. HR must investigate all employee complaints (no matter how implausible they may be) in order to protect the company from potential legal liability. That's HR's job. If HR didn't investigate all employee complaints...

10. Employee retaliation against supervisors
  
  It sounds to me like what the employee is doing is retaliation...just not illegal retaliation. Not all retaliation is illegal. A classic example of standard illegal retaliation is when an employee reports his/her employer to judicial/regulatory authorities (such as the police or labour...

11. Contractual vacation rescinded?
  
  So what the actual contract start date? And before you ask, employers in the US aren't obliged to provide any paid vacation whatsoever to their employees. So unless your contract (assuming it is in fact a legal contract and not an employment offer letter) specifically states that you get 30...

13. Contractual vacation rescinded?
  
  You have an actual contract? (As opposed to an offer-of-employment letter.) What is this contract called? ("Employment Agreement" or "Contract of Employment" come to mind - but what is your contract called?)

14. Can I make the switch with this Non-Compete/NDA?
  
  So you paid an attorney to review your agreement, and your attorney gave you his/her legal opinion of the agreement, and yet you still felt compelled to come here to ask the same question you asked your attorney. Why is that?

15. Can I make the switch with this Non-Compete/NDA?
  
  Whether or not the agreement is enforceable, your current employer is legally within its rights to show the agreement to your new employer. The new employer may then withdraw its offer to you. (As in "Don't know if that thing is enforceable or not, but hey! we sure don't wanna go through the...

17. Delaying the Divorce clock
  
  I think if STBX is already calling her husband an ex-husband, she's probably waaaay beyond reconciliation. And according to what SBTX's friend has said, the only reason STBX wants to delay the divorce is because she doesn't want to be served with court papers while she's away on vacation...

  The reason lawyers aren't responding to you is that there aren't any laws they can invoke to help you get your volunteer position back. As a result, there is absolutely nothing any lawyer can say or do for you, including providing you with counseling. It would perhaps behoove you to stop...
