Can an employer be held liable for advertising false and misleading employment earnings after being hired?

If you have the original ad and a paycheck stub, I would consider talking to a lawyer.

If you are an accountant as your screen name suggests, than yes.  If you do not and your company is audited than you will be charged with fraud.  You could try to talk to your bosses first to see if they will correct the problem, but if you continue to do the books, you will be held responsible for what is in them.

in the uk you are covered by the "Disability Discrimination Act.I dont know about the states.But the date on the paper would cover you.seek legal advice as can't give full advice as only got snippets of your story.But as long as your employer was aware of the facts, he/she should be reasonable.

Unfortunately, an employer can pretty much demand an employee to do anything that's not illegal.  The only exception would be if there was an employment agreement signed that specifically outlines duties.\n\nIs it right?  I don't think so.  But other than finding another job or risk getting fired, I don't think there's a thing you can do about it.

As a rough rule of thumb, if a company wants to charge you for the privilege of registering / working for them, they are not legitimate!\n\nIf I was you I would avoid them, and save yourself the $29.98!

Rather than asking people on here, many of whom are likely to make up answers based on what they've read/heard/seen, you're probably best off seeking legal advice.  You will have to prove that your employer was neglegent though, and that the accident was their fault.

Not unless they expressly said that they were and you confirmed that your fee was on that basis.\n\nIf they misrepresented (i.e. we are not talking about a later ruling by the IRS) then you may well have recourse due to fraudulent misrepresentation.\n\nEither way time to up the billing rate :-)

All the employer needs to do is call the reference to verify the validity of said reference.\n\nI am a manager, and I have fired two employees AFTER THEY WERE HIRED, because I found out they lied on their applications. One lied about her references (it took me a while, but I did find out they were all fabricated), and one lied about his education (I did not receive transcripts like he promised).\n\nDo not lie, because you will get caught (sooner or later) !!!

Assuming the information is true, unless the individual who does not work for the company was a party to a confidentiality agreement, there is no legal recourse.  If s/he has breached a confidentiality agreement, you can bring suit against her/him for that breach.

Absolutely it can.  Many places now ask on applications whether or not you've been convicted of a felony.  There are laws against discrimination, but companies can find lots of excuses of why they didn't hire you.\n\nThat said, not all companies discrimate and you can still find a fabulous job.  I would be open and upfront about my past if the company asked about it on the application because if they hire you and find out later that you lied on the application, it could cost you your job.

It depends on what State your in.   The laws vary from State to State.  In most cases, if there is misrepresentation on the employer's part you should be OK.   Signed Contracts are legal and binding.   Why would someone want to force a person to work who does not want to?

Nothing. You can not sue them it really wasn't discrimination. You were either over qualified or under qualified..It happens.

First, false imprisonment is generally a civil tort issue. That means that you would have to sue the employer yourself. Because it is a civil suit, the penalty would take the form of money or some other type of compensation.\nSecond, an employer does not have to allow representation during questioning in the way that a state does. The laws regarding the presence of counsel all refer to criminal prosecutions. Your relationship with your employer is a private matter between the two of you. If there is no contractual stipulation, then they do not have to provide you with the opportunity to have counsel present. Most likely, you are an 'at will' employee, and can be terminated at any time for any reason, or for no reason.

Do both - Take them to a smalls claims tribunal and expose them via newspapers and internet sites!!!\nYou earned that money, so they should pay you regardless of the length of your employment!! NAME & SHAME THEM i say!!!!!

Do not bring it up unless asked.\n\nYour former employer BY LAW is only allowed to verify the dates of employment, position and compensation....that is LAW.\n\nHowever....some employers will take liberties and attempt to blacken your name.\n\nHave a friend call your former employer under the guise of a hiring manager for XYZ company...and have them ask about your employment etc. You will then have a heads up on the type of answer/reference your former boss is handing out to the people calling in. It is better to know up front than not at all...\n\nBest of Luck.\nBTW...take the lesson learned from your experience and avoid making the same mistake at your next place of employment.

You probably are a horrible employee, so no.\n\nYou can't sue an employer for your own incompetence.
