Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
My employer had presented their CPA experience program, which allows them to record and track your work experience to qualify for the CPA license. After an investigation by the state licensing authority, it was discovered that the program was unduly management therefore the program was not sanctioned by the state department. After being in the program for over fourteen months and years to prepared for the designation, the amount of experience allowed was two and a half weeks. Can I sue for misrepresentation? Although the program was free, it has induced me to stay with my employer. I would had change employment if I had known the program was not legitimate.

An interesting situation. You can probably prove promisory estoppel (reliance on you employer's representations), but i think you might have a problem proving damages. After all, you were compensated for your labor for the past 14 months, and the idea that you might have found a better job is too speculative. And finally, it could be argued by your employer that you should have conducted your own due dilligence with regard to his (non-compliant) program. Best to speak with either an employment lawyer or contract lawyer.
Best of luck to you.
