Due to Covid- 19 I lost my educational enrichment business suddenly and had to refund my customers. My son went to a small Montessori school and they are closed as well. Can I stop the final two monthly payments because I have suffered sudden economic loss?
I'm not sure if you're asking whether you are legally allowed to stop the payments, or whether you are physically able to. (Remember your fourth grade teacher and the difference between "Can I go to the bathroom?" and "May I go to the bathroom?")
I don't know if you CAN stop the payments, without seeing the contract between you and the school and the bank. If you CAN do it, I would recommend stopping them.
Contractually, you probably owe all the money to the school, and by stopping the payments, you would be in violation of your contract. However, with this very uncertain issue, you're probably better off by stopping the payments, keeping the money in your own possession, and forcing the school to sue you, if they choose to. The alternative would be to let them collect the payments, and then you would have to sue them. It's better for you to keep the money.
In the end, if the school does sue you for the final payments, you may wind up having to pay. If it gets to that point, you should consult with an attorney to review your contract and your legal rights.
Reasonable Accodomation
I have been waiting on an answer from my federal employer on Reasonable Accomdation due to migranie headaches for 7 months.
My employer refuses to accomodate me due to the fact that my neurgolist will not answer the following questions:The underlying concern being that if you can not work in the office when having a migraine, how is it expected that you would be able to concentrate and focus regardless of where you are, home or in the office.
My neurgolist informed me that the government has enough information to answer the questions she has sent in several notes and trigger factors.
I answered the questions that the government would like to have answered: I stated for the record how the office can accommodate me:
I could work from home in my room with the lights dimmed when I�m suffering on a level of 1-6.
When I can�t function I would inform my supervisor and use leave. I'm not sure what I should do
There are times that I can function at work but I must use my leave due to the fact there are no empty spaces in the office. I'm forced to use leave and the answer is always no you can't move anywhere in the office. Use your leave
