I have an issue with an ex employer of my husband not filling out papers for the NC electrical board correctly.
Hello ****, I'm sorry to hear about this situation. Could you please clarify whether the incorrect paperwork has led to any specific problems or losses for your husband? Also, were there any agreements or contracts specifying the employer's responsibility in this matter? These details can help in identifying the possible legal remedies.
So my husband left his last job with a * week notice over a year ago. Last December my husband brought him the papers to fill out for the NC electrical board so my husband could take his exam to become licensed. He refused for over a year until an enforcer for the electrical board finally got him to sign it. But he filled it out incorrectly on purpose and now he has to fill out the paperwork again which will take even longer.
I'm sorry to hear about this, ****. If the ex-employer's actions are causing damages, your husband might have a case. Laws can vary, but in general:
- You need proof of the intentional misconduct.
- Damages due to misconduct must be clear.
You could consider seeking legal counsel for a more detailed analysis.
We have a years worth of text messages, emails, etc with him, him and the electrical board and others. He stated in one email his hours worked were *,* but filled the paperwork out with no where near that amount.
****, it seems like you have substantial evidence. In North Carolina:
- Evidence can include emails, text messages, etc.
- A discrepancy in reported hours might indicate misconduct.
Consider consulting a local attorney for personalized advice.
