"Evil" Walmart offers Better Health Coverage Than Obama

typical democrat
you catch them in a lie
and rather than admitting they are wrong
their defense is, "Well, republicans also lie."
so they are no better than a republican
 
Quote from Tsing Tao:

Maybe you've been out of the US for a long time, but you cannot fire someone for cancer. Any indication that you have done so will open up a lawsuit for quite a bit of compensation.

After his lunatic posts, Orlando beach, etc., just why are you still giving the little bastard the time of day by replying to him?:confused:
Others here sadly do the same, and that's EXACTLY the problem. If no one gave the little bastard the attention he's dying for, he'd go away so we could actually talk real stuff/results...

Are you sure about this Tao. I thought the only things off limits were religion, race, sex and age. And I'm not sure religion and age are always off limits. Firing someone who is too sick to do their job isn't any different than firing someone who can't do their job, I think that's the way it is in Texas. But I don't know for a fact what the laws are on this.

I'm positive. You can't fire someone who is too sick, they go on disability and keep coverage (until they've exhausted their lifetime limit of benefits, of course - then they're eligible for medicaid I think). You certainly cannot fire them because they are sick, however.

As far as religion and age, they are completely off limits. Someone over 40 is considered a "protective class." So is a muslim, etc. This doesn't mean they can't be fired via other means, but you have to document a good deal about why their performance is bad, how many times you've brought it up, etc. Otherwise you open yourself up to lawsuits - and the employee almost always wins the lawsuit (because the judge/jurors always sympathize against the big, bad, evil corporation).
 
Quote from Ricter:

The cases are common, the excuses legion, the victories few. And the laws have loopholes.

But in an ideal world, yes, the government would have at least this much control over private enterprise.

A lot of general commentary here, but nothing substantial to back up your post. Would you care to look up labor law with me? It's a fact, Ricter, and any HR group worth it's salt will be able to tell you about it. Firing an employee because of cancer will open the company up to a lawsuit.
 
On the fire department past a certain age you can't get hired (I think it's 35) and past a certain age you are forced to retire. Not quite the same thing but close.
