Answer to What is the optimal timing to resign from my current job given my relocation repay agreement?

This is something you will want to address with counsel with the agreement in hand. Without reviewing the relocation agreement itself, no sound advice can be given. Most ought to be able to review this remotely if you can get it to someone by e-mail or fax. Best of luck.

Answer to I am a registered nurse and am ill, my employer is forcing me to come in even though I called in sick because of no coverage. How is that safe when I don't feel good and I work on an acute psyche unit. My job treats us like crap and no one wants to work a

Call in sick is not going to provide you any legal protection if the employer chooses to terminate for your not working. This may be different if you were a member of a union. However, you could have some rights under the Family and Medical Leave Act, but the facts are short as to what was causing the illness. If you want to contact my office to discuss in greater detail, please do.

Thank you.
