I signed an Employment at-will contract, which was created under our American jurisdiction, but I had to sing it in an another country. The question is related with the uncertain problems that I could have in the future. There is contractual term which indicates that in the case of any dispute or claim the parties shall be subject to an arbitration. But, it indicates that it shall be done in the country Where I signed the contract. I want to know if I have any problem related with this contract, shall I be come forward to the Mexican jurisdiction, under the Mexican law? Which legal system will be applied to these case? Does the fact that I have signed in Mexico, directly affects my rights or the contract per se? Finally, I need to say that I worked in American soil, but I remain puzzled, thank you for your time.
If and when the contract is ever raised in litigation (or arbitration), be sure to make your attorney aware of it. I don't know what the contract says, but "employment at will" is the law just about everywhere in the U.S. anyway.
I am looking for a job and have been rejected now for almost 6 months. I've inquired on several attempts to find out why, but they just say that they are just not interested. I'm separated from my wife and my credit is HORRIBLE. I did something very stupid a few years back and I think it is what is hurting me. In a quick explanation, I went to Wal-mart and bought an ink cartridge for my computer the sales KID said that the one he suggested was the right one for my printer, it wasn't! When I brought the cartridge back they said that because I OPENED the package it could not be returned ($30 loss) SOOO I gave the wrong cartridge to the salesperson and exchanged it with the correct one. I was charged with retail theft. Jerk I know but am I screwed forever because of it? What can I do?

Is it legal for persons to work alone?
Do you know if there's a law on the books that says someone can't work alone, day or night? For example, someones son was robbed at gunpoint and handcuffed while at work, and he was the only employee working at the time.
jail time for that charge

Personal Injury or Work Comp?
I work for a hotel as a live in Employee. They pay me with my room and a little cash daily. Unforchanately, I am forced to work seven days a week and they do not give me a day off unless I pay for my room. I am injured in a few areas that I know require medical attention because of the need to work seven days a week. My Back and Shoulders are in very bad shape and I have had two back surgeries in the past. I think the new injury to my back is in the same area as the old injury. The Shoulders are just not working right and am in a lot of pain with them.
Do I have a leg to stand on?
