Is a 10 cent raise for every 500 hours of work legal?

Question

I work at a grocery store and my manager is giving everyone 10 cent raises for every 500 hours of work, is this legal?

Answer 1

...And by that, you mean for every 500 hours you work, you'll get an extra 10 cents? Man, that's a cheap raise. But there's no law that says managers are required to give raises.

Besides, if you want more money, work somewhere else. Working in a grocery store is lame.

Answer 2

Based on a 40 hour week, that is a raise every 12 and 1/2 weeks, or roughly every quarter. 40 cents annually. I know many people in office jobs who do not get this much of an annual raise, if they even get a raise every year.

Answer 3

Most grocery stores have unions. If you have a problem with it, I suggest you talk to them. But, yes, it is legal.

Answer 4

Be glad you're getting a raise at all. No company is required to increase anyone's wage ever. If you don't like your salary, find a better job.

Answer 5

Yes, they don't even HAVE to give you a raise if they don't want to. I work in grocery also.

Answer 6

Yes. A company is not obligated to give you a raise.

Answer 7

Yes it is. You have the right to leave the store but they do not have the right to let you go without cause.

Answer 8

yes it is legal,that's like 40cents a year.that's not a whole lot, but just think they don't have to give you that.and on the other hand at least you have a job

Answer 9

better than a sharp stick in the eye

Answer 10

no not if your job is prostitution LOL

but yes your ansewer is legal they can do that so far
