My employer has multiple pay rates for workers doing exctly the same and equal work. Only diffeence is that they pay the 5day a week worker substantially more per hour than the 3day per week one. Both positions are with benefits and are scheduled positions.
The workers are of the same sex,workload etc is equal as are the other medical benefits. They are just trying to force a labor staff of "full time" 5 day weekers (without regard to family needs or restrictions.) Is this legal under the equal pay act ??

My boss is useless. She has dreadful time management, she strolls in when she feels like it, she daydreams a lot of the time, and because she's there after everyone else she thinks she's wonderful. If she managed her time better she could go home like the rest of us at the normal time. She is never wrong, she doesn't see bad in anybody (which is frustrating,and it's because she can't do confrontation) she twists things so it makes you look like you've got the problem. It's getting me down, I've worked with her for 19 years, and she's getting worse. I need the job, so don't tell me to leave. Positive answers please.

Can they legally find out what your last employers paid you? Do they ask when they call for a reference?

He trades about four or five times a day (he's a second year college student at UvA)J...average time in market is 13 minutes. He only make about $200 a day...after loses and commissions. I'm afraid that even though he is doing okay, it will wear thin, especially if he incurrs a big lost.

I would really like to get a job working for the probation service. I have been to prison and was released 3 years ago. I am now a completely different person to what i used to be and i strongly feel my experiences would help me connect with offenders and send them on the right path. Is it possible to work in probation with a crim record? and if can do it where should i start?

This is a serious question I really do want to help others.

I left my job as a paralegal at a solo pracice in late August to travel, etc. before starting law school next summer out of state. I agreed to go back to work starting January for 15-16 weeks full time before leaving for school. I asked for $25/hr for that period (tax season, busiest time). Boss gave me the following options:

1. $20/hr with OT & health ins (the plan is bad though, $1000 deductible + copays for everything.) I'm not interested in this option.

2. $22/hr with OT, no health ins

3. Salary of $1000/week, no OT, equal to $25/hr full time

I figured the difference without OT between #2 and #3 is $1,800. For #2 to equal #3 I figure I'd need to work about 55 hours of overtime during a 15 week period. Now, last year around March and April there were a few Saturdays (maybe one Sunday for a few hours) I worked OT, plus a few hours late here and there. But I don't think I'd get 55 hours of of OT during 15 weeks.

So, I think #3 is the best option. Any thoughts?

When I worked in a restaraunt as a cook.I was forced to work 7 days a week.12 straight hours with no break.
Told my work was poor.If I was such a bad worker
why did they keep me for three years instead of saying
if you can't handle it you will have to go do something else.
What about the 5 day work week rule.30 minute break
for 6 hours or more.I thought that is the law they have
let you have a break.One day I told them I refuse to work
7 days and I got fired.
A waitress's grandmother passed away and the manager
told her she could not have the day off for the funeral because they were short on help.She took it off anyway and
got fired.Was the manager being unfair?

n the second interview the company asked me what I was looking for as far as salary goes. I stated I was looking for $25,000 per year which is $13.03 per hour. They sent me an offer letter today but the starting pay is $12.00 per hour which is lower than what we discussed. Im going to take the job, but, should I say something about the pay and ask to start at what we discussed? Or keep my mouth shut and hope for a raise soon?

I was interviewed by a company overseas and the hiring manager gave me his cell phone number at the end of the interview to call him to find out about the status of my candidacy. The position wasn't going to start immediately. Is he going to hire me or did he just give his number as an incentive to get himself out of the situation politely ?

Do you think its unfair that you can be turned down for a job for being "Over qualified". I was an HGV Auto-electrician for 7 years and decided to change my career and i am now studying to be a Web Designer/Developer, i went for a part time job as a delivery driver to pay for my tuition and was turned down because of the job i previously had and what i was studying to do, basically saying i was over qualified to drive a van.
