I work in a sales position for a company where I make a base pay per week for 40 hours. However, if we fall under 40 hours , we had to sign an agreement saying we'd be paid at 5.15 per hour, but if we go OVER 40 hours, we are paid a percentage of our sales volume. (This can be bad, there's been weeks where I didn't sell anything and made 4.00 an hour) I was just wondering if this is legal? I think I remember reading something that says there's a minimum salary per week that you have to be at or under to be exempt from being paid time and a half for overtime. I also don't get paid holiday pay. This week I had to work 4th of July AND a 12 hour shift today, which will put me at 45 hours for the week AND a holiday in there too, and I GUARANTEE I will not be paid time and a half OR holiday pay. Can I refuse to work "mandatory overtime" and not get fired if they refuse to pay me accordingly or is this company doing things legally?

My lawyer said he wanted 400.00 upfront which I don't have upfront right now but I contacted anothet one that said he could do it for 265.00 upfront, so can I have the new lawyer to convert it or do I have to use the same lawyer I used to file the chapter13 case?

The agent informed me underwriting was going to deny my application, no reason given. She said people with my kinds of health problems usually got stuck with exclusions on covering certain pre-existing conditions but weren't totally denied. Do I have any consumer rights like I supposedly do with a credit bureau to see if there are errors, or has the insurance industry bought Congress so thoroughly they can do anything they please and keep everything secret?

I'm a 23 year old mechanical engineer. I've had experience (well not much considering my age) with both the office engineering job and the field engineering job. And after doing the office job for about a year, I know that I can't last in the environment. So I was wondering what my options are. I've been looking into environmental engineering and civil engineering, but I don't know if the companies would be willing to take the time to train me. I'm looking for an engineering job that is not only outdoors and exciting, but also challenging and rewarding. Simply put, I don't have the capacity or energy to sit and stare at a computer all day, every day until I retire. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

P.S. I live in southern California, if that helps.
