Hey Dan! I was hoping you'd let us know what was up. But, uh, what's up with the "wait until Monday" crap? First they say Thursday, then Monday... are they TRYING to get you to blow a gasket? The fact that your employer HAS an HR department means they are supposed to be up on protocol. Their behavior indicates that they are NOT. You are NOT being treated fairly here, and if you do a little research on this issue, you will be in a much better position to negotiate with THEM about what THEY ARE GOING TO DO to amend THEIR violations of YOUR rights. If they perceive that you have educated yourself on the laws concerning such matters, you will be able to get the balance of power back on YOUR side, dammit. If you need some links, just ask (ping on my mail thing on this site) Lots of hugs, laura
