An employer is making staff sign a waiver of releasing liability if an employee gets coronavirus. So if they get sick they cant hold the business responsible. If they don't sign the waiver they are being told they can't work and may get fired. Is this legal in Georgia?
Before you get too upset about this, I am hard-pressed to think of a scenario in which your employer could ever be held liable for an employee contracting a pendemic virus. It's what some might call an "act of God." So, this is an unrealistic concern. But, if you theoretically could .... how on earth would you trace it to your work? Even if you were able to employ an expert to prove when and where you contracted the virus, and also prove that the contraction was due to your employer's negligence, any claim would likely be barred by worker's compensation. And, just FYI, even if you sign a waiver, you cannot release worker's compensation claims.
Don't sign the waiver. Of course, they might be able to fire you.
How old are you? If you are under 50 and don't smoke the odds of you getting very sick are small.
What would be the better of the two options- here's my story.
I got the screws thrown to me in a recent car purchase. I was very misinformed on the lease detalis of a car. Promised "extra mileage coverage" that would allow me to drive for 4 years or 72 thousand miles, and really ended up only buying and 72k extended warranty on a car that I leased for 48k. So I ended up owing a ton of money in overages. The dealership promised to take care of the owed money because of the misinformation and get me into another car. They presented a car, and the payments to me. I was hesitant in going fourth with the offer because the payments where so high. I was promised to be able to bring the car back in in 6 months and refinance it.They don't offer refinancing. I owe around 7,000 dollars more than the car is worth. I was promised something, but on paper given something else. I know it's my fault for not researching further. I trusted them.
I have been trying to bulid and establish my credit for years. This is my third car, and I hate to admit it but I have to either give it back, and take a repo on my credit or I was told I qualified for Chaper 7 bankruptcy.
I don't have many bad marks on my credit anymore, since I have been working on cleaning it up the past few years. I have a few medical bills, and maybe an old cell phone bill. If my car gets reposessed it will be on there as well. I know this is something that I don't want on my credit, but I don't really know what else to do about it. I don't own anything else, have a 401k or any savings, nothing of the sort. Just my car, a credit card I use.
I have a friend that offered to help me with getting another car, she said she'd co-sign for me. The bankruptcy lawyer said that I should get a car before the bankrupcy goes through. I was told though, that if she where to co-sign for me before it goes through that it will show on her credit as well. Is this true?
I was considering just sucking it up and letting the repossession go through. Or declaring bankruptcy chapter 7. I'm not sure what the best option is for me? I am around 25,000 in debt after the car gets taken. I want to go to college within the next year and I don't know how bad either of these will effect me getting school loans, or anything else for that matter.
I can't sell, or trade the car in, I owe to much. I just don't know what to do.
