The party involved was a 23-year old single mother who was putting herself through college. She was formerly employed for Acme Corp and assisted in a program that provided work experience and training for clients with limited work experience. Our client was assigned to work at an Acme Corp location in Jersey City, which is primarily a day care facility for young children. She worked as an assistant to Jimmy Jones.

Case #2: Employment Law

Our client was employed as a digital media consultant for a website. At the time, Jimmy Jones, owner of Acme Corp, offered this individual the director of digital sales position, she was going through a divorce. She had been concerned about leaving her previous employer because moving to a commission-based position would be a radical transition for her. Before making a decision, she spoke to Mr. Jones on several occasions to discuss her concerns, the flexibility she required, her divorce, childcare issues, expectations at Acme Corp, and her compensation. Mr. Jones assured our client that she would have flexibility to work around her personal schedule.
