"ABC" has a policy where for 6 months, that agency then has the right to represent me. This was done without my knowledge and I was never told of the submittal. Is fraud the correct term, since TAC is using incorrect information for their own gain (referral fee)?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[They confronted my husband with urinating outside the building on his way in, and claimed " 2 witnesses" saw him. Well my husband told them to review the videotape and see, because he didn't do such a thing.  They advised my husband to clean out his locker, turn in his lock, and his badge.  They were suspending him pending an investigation and he was told to report to the HR department the following morning at 9:00 a.m.  Well he went , and they agreed they were indeed wrong, as he did not urinate the camera clearly showed he was tying his pants. My question is does he have any legal recourse for falsely being accused, losing a nights worth of pay ( about 140.00), and being humiliated. Is he entitled to something to make this right?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My employer has asked me to sign a contract stating that for a specific time after the initial training, if I quit or were to be fired, I am required to reimburse the company for the training fees. My question is: 1. Is such contract legal for this company to make me sign? 2. If I did sign such a contract, am I legally accountable and liable to reimburse the company for the training fees if I were to quit or to be fired?]]></description>
