Were their comments warranted or did they just say them so they wouldn’t have to pay you?

I’ve been on the fence of reporting them to the labor board. But I may have to involve my staffing agency. Suggestions of what to do?

Unwarranted, made it seem as if I had done nothing so they wouldn’t have to pay me.

I have a young student with CVI and extremely limited mobility. She is able to vocalize but not speak.

However, I don’t even know where to start with researching the best one for her. Any suggestions?
