I am sober. Sent it to my manager. The owners are the ones that changed the poo poo.

quote:


Figured I should talk to you before I talk to Jack or Cathy.

Just got a letter with my paycheck saying that I will no longer be getting paid the time and a half for 2-4 am. The ONLY reason I agreed to work those hours was because of the extra pay (which turned out to not even be worth it). The letter also said that would start after next paycheck. Well it started this paycheck I just got.

I was already putting off talking to you about working less hours. I have been to the beach once since I started this job. I don't have a wife or a kid and I don't need to work 60-72 hours a week. I have been miserable. I have no time to enjoy being in Hawaii because I am always on call. I was told full time in the interview, not 60-72 hours on call.

Hopefully we can talk about me working a more normal schedule. But starting next shift (May 2nd), I am done working 2-4. You can't tell me you will pay me more to work those hours and then take the pay away and just expect me to keep working them. That is shady as hell.

Roadside assistance. So tire changes, jump starts, gas delivery, and unlocking cars when people lock themselves out. 4pm-4am, 6 days a week.

You should absolutely go to your local federal department of labor office to talk to them about all of your pay. You're definitely not exempt from overtime under the driver exemption, and because they substantially control your activities while on call, you might have a case that you should be paid OT for hours 40-60.


You're getting the short end of the stick right now. You don't need the job. loving get the feds on their rear end. Get the money you're owed.

Even if you did there are certain things that they can't just put in there. They may try to say things in the contract, but that doesn't mean that it actually will hold up in court.

My last job had a clause in the employee contract that they could search your vehicle if it was on company property. I figured you don't even wait for the courts on that one, I'd just tell them to gently caress right off.

Small business owners will try to do all sorts of shady poo poo like that.


My roommate just got a few grand check from the treasury after the DOL came down loving hard on one of his old jobs.

http://www.dol.gov/opa/media/press/whd/WHD20140930.htm

Long and short of it is they pooled all tips and then didn't distribute most of them back to servers. They were paid well under minimum wage as a result, which isn't legal. The owners actually told people that bitched about it "go ahead and try to sue us, you won't get poo poo."

Nostalgia4Murder posted:

I was on call 10 loving hours a day, 6 days a loving week. Then they come to me and ask me to make it 12 hours a day. The compensation being I would get paid time and a half for the extra 2 hours a day.

Now a month and a half later I get a letter with my paycheck saying they can't pay me the time and a half any more starting after my next check.

1. The ONLY reason I agreed to work the 12 hour shifts was because of the extra pay rate.
2. It clearly already took place THIS paycheck.

I was already getting in a shittier mood every week because I have no free time and do nothing but work. Now this bullshit. Shady as gently caress.

i work a shitload of OT because i work from home. last year the management tried to pull "no more OT, you get comp time instead!", so i didn't do OT. about 4 months after that we had a meeting where the phrase "according to state regulations" was said about 20 times, and ot was brought back.

its not even a mom and pop place.

i work for a fortune 500 company.

I think the place I work with gives us stock options instead of overtime? I rarely do more than 80 hours a fortnight, but when I did I got an e-mail saying I now have shares.

yep.

my department is about 150-200 people though, so I just sat back and waited for someone else to get mad about it. Took a few months, but when my boss sat us down she repeated the phrase "according to state regulation" over and over again, so someone did do something.

what's funny is that I'm salary, not hourly, but because I work in IT the state of CT requires OT for anything over 40 hours a week. (to prevent companies from forcing people to work 12 hours days for no extra money during crunch times/whenever).

I just liked to pull a shitload of OT since I work from home and it's usually Friday/Saturday overnight, which is spent making sure my screensaver doesn't come on.

Just tell everyone that is a mix if you can get away with it. If it looks pure rotty that won't work, but if it looks a bit like it could be something else then just claim that. My lab chow was always a lab mix for insurance/rental purposes, because he looked and acted enough like a lab with a curly tail.
