I was offered an Administrative certificate in a school system for July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011. I signed the contract and returned it. My school district then told me that they did not have any administrative positions and that I would be placed on a .5 (part-time) basis for the next year, the contracted period. I have 45 annual days and 85 sick leave days. They verbally agreed to payout my leave time if I retire as May 31, 2010. Is my contract binding if I signed it? Can they place me on a part-time basis if I have worked in the system for 20 plus years? Should I settle for a payout for the 2010 school year and retire, as I am of retirement age?

I am a 3rd tier subcontractor in a verbal contract with a 2nd tier subcontractor, who has a written contract with a prime contractor. The work was completed, and a stop notice was filed for the full amount owed by the 3rd tier subcontractor. The prime contractor offered to pay $12,500 of the $15,000 owed if I sign off the stop notice. Can I sue the 2nd tier subcontractor for the remaining $2,500 owed, especially since they have been paid for the work I performed and still have $6,000 in retention?

Is San Francisco's law preventing me from establishing my own business hours, thus restricting my income potential, a violation of California's unfair competition law, or any law?

My neighbor is harassing me and my service dog. He stands by my back patio door and peers in the window, stares at us when we are outside, and yells at us. My dog gets upset and barks at him. I believe Service Dogs are protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act. What can I do to address this situation, especially since the police in my small town may not be helpful?
