My hair was damaged by a very known and professional salon. Can I seek refund and compensation?
Q: Hello. I went to a very well-known and professional salon (or so I thought) for a normal hair dye. The guy who did my hair left the dye on my hair for over an hour when it was supposed to be on for a maximum of 30 minutes. He wasn’t paying attention to me walking around the store talking to everyone and also doing another customer`s extensions. Now my hair is potentially damaged, my skull burns, and is flaky (meaning the dye wasn’t ammonia-free which is extremely unprofessional for such an expensive salon). I didn’t even get the outcome that I wanted and the dye color doesn’t even show. I talked to him about it but he shut it down so fast and gaslit me the whole time and made me feel like I was the wrong one and I was ‘complaining about something so light’. Please let me know what I can do legally about this. Thank you.

My employer did not provide me with medical insurance and refused sick leaves. What can I do?
Q: Hello, I`ve been working for this company for a little over a year now, and my employer hasn`t provided me with medical insurance yet. Since I have chronic asthma, I used to take leaves to rest my body and get better. I wasn`t able to get sick leaves except for two occasions (in which I`ve paid for one and one has been reimbursed). Last week I noticed that 1000 was deducted from my salary. I went to talk to my employer and told him that it was unfair because due to not having medical insurance, this was the outcome of the situation. He told me that I have till March to find another job and made it seem as if he was doing me a favor. I know I have the right to have insurance and he is breaking the law. What could be done in this case? Though I`ve wanted to avoid this route, the unfairness is too much. Thank you.

I was terminated. What happens if I leave before the end of notice period?
Q: Greetings! I just want to ask for clarification. My company renewed my visa three months ago, but now I am being terminated because I am an existing staff member. This is because our department will no longer remain beyond the end of December 2024 due to a management change. The company informed me of my termination only four days ago, but I have a three-month notice period. Is it correct that if I leave before completing the three-month notice, I will have to pay a penalty? Or, since they are terminating me, am I entitled to complete the three-month notice period without any penalties? I just want to understand my rights regarding this situation. Thank you.Jan 29, 2025
