I have a sexual harassment case pending in court my job terminated me, offered me my job w no pay what do i do

I was harassed for ten months this included the time that I reported my harasser, but nothing was done to stop him from harassing me. I went to the EEOC and twenty days later I was brought up on charges of time abuse and later fired from my job. I was told by my lawyer that I can get my job back, but without any compensation. I felt that that was unfair and I refused the offer, because it would do me no good to take that offer and not have any means of transportation to and from the job, which will cause me to lose the job again. My main question is; am I entitled to my back pay if the job know that they wrongfully terminated me? Your response will be gratefully appreciated. Jackie

You are entitled to back pay if you were ready, willing, and able to work during that period. If you had no means of transportation and could not have worked anyway, then you are not entitled to back pay.

By all means, if your job acknowledges that you were wrongly terminated, you should be re- hired with back pay compensation. I don't know where your lawyers head was at the time. Al thou, I don't understand about taking the job and not having transportation? whats that about?
