Q. My employer is aware of certain repairs that must be done on my work vehicle but has not done them because there is a backlog at the shop. If I documented and reported the issues, who is responsible for paying the ticket, if I get pulled over? If not the employer, and I refused to work, I wouldn’t get paid so it feels like I’m in a precarious position.

A. Since there are other issues that may be involved and it is also a monetary case involving different sides, before ruling or giving counsel all sides have to be heard and appraised. The case should be presented to a Beis Din or a mutually accepted representative willing and able to hear all sides.
