Legal Question in Business Law in California
Benefits Due
I started a new job around seven months ago. During the interview one of the selling points to the job, and the main reason I took it was because of the fact that it offered benefits. I MADE THIS CLEAR I NEEDED THIS. When I was hired and asked about the benefits, I was told there would be a sixth month wait. Now, seven months later I'm told at the time that there isn't going to be beneifts and they aren't offered. Although my boss did say that he offered them when we discussed it, but now he can't. Is this legal? Can he say one thing in the interview process then after being highered do another?

Re: Benefits Due
Of course not any love numerous rights. Basically what you should be doing is sitting in front of the real live attorney who deals in business/litigation law, employment law were similar issues. Not in front of a computer waiting for legal advice. Take the bull by the Lawrence to do something immediately before a you get in deeper. Is there are written employment contract under which you are employed or are you at will. Numerous questions unanswered by yours.I have been practicing law in this legal area for over 30 years and understand your problem well. I practice in the S.F. Bay Area and if you wish to contact me call at 925-945-6000.

1. Get another job.
2. Next time, get your job offer in writing and make sure all the terms of the deal are included.

Were you enticed to relocate to take this job? If so, there are statutes that might protect you. Neverthless, the efficient response is the one Mr. Stone suggests, rather than spend your money on a lawyer.
