This place that me and husband applied at and got jobs at told us to come in today at 2pm well this morining about 5:30 am they called to ask my husband to come in at 7am and work until 10pm on his first day and not even know what he is getting paid. I still have my job there if I want it. My question is would you work somewhere that wants you to work a double shift your first day without doing any new hire paper work and then says "we will talk about pay at the end of the shift" I say wtf!!?? what do you think??

no, he needs to do all the paperwork before the shift starts, it is illegal to not fill out the paperwork first.

Go to work, and work your butt off. Show them that you can do a great job. When you negotiate on the pay, mention how hard you worked, and that you did a good job (assuming you did, of course). If they do recognize your worth and pay you accordingly, great! If they don't recognize it, you've still got a job. You can go look for another one after then.
Whatever you do, don't just not show up and go look for another job. You never know who the manager or owner of the first place knows. You might apply at some place 10 miles away, and your name will come up between the 2 owners. You'll get a rep. as someone who doesn't give a care, and have trouble ever getting a job.

I must be lacking something because I didn't understand the joke, perhaps it's because the old blokes were Welsh. But take a star as a consolation prize. By the way, does Matron know you are still up? Get off that computer and get to bed : )

I would find out what I was getting paid and complete the paperwork before I started working. Otherwise they could say you were not an employee, they were just testing to see if you could do the job, and not pay you anything.

Sounds shady to me. I would work a double shift but not before doing employment paperwork and knowing the hourly rate. That doesn't show any respect. If you have other options, don't work for jerks!

Always find out how much you will be paid in writing. They could let you go after the end of the shift and pay you nothing.

Sounds fishy to me. Pay is normally discussed if you are offered a position before you start work. I would not work a double without knowing my pay, benefits and etc. I probably would not have accepted the role.

LOL, sounds like you are going to get hosed on the pay. After you have done the work, they have the upper hand on what they will negotiate.

No.. you need to estambish the working parameters before you start.... besudes that.. they have to have paperwork for you to get paid and have your tazes properly distributed.. sounds shady..find a new job..
