Question

until after that time, he told me whatever time he clocks me out i should be done and if not whats left is on my own time. Also since Im now an HOURLY manager i dont get breaks..is my job violating labor laws

what can i do...they also said since im over 18 the law doesnt force them to give me breaks

i told him it was illegal and unfair and he said everyones expected to make sacrifices

i wanna quit now in a way and cant afford to ive worked there 6 months am i eligable for unemployement?


my boss also commented and I quote"Have you ever noticed If you get over time its added to the hours on ur next check?" REaly ive had over time on my scheck,so i wonder if all my overtime is being paid..my coworker commented her over time didnt show up on her check...see if u get over time one week next week u normally get hours cut back..I know whats going on they are doing it that way to avoid overtime pay!!!!!!!!! I am thinking of having them investigated

Answer 1

what the people above said.

but i would add to that, you should start getting your resume together and start looking for a new job. there is no future in working for a company that treats its employees so poorly. start looking for a company that will treat you with respect.

i had the misfortune to work for a company with a similar attitude and my biggest regret is not having quit sooner. places like that see their employees as disposable. They invest nothing in you and toss you out whenever it should become convenient for them.

Don't let them waste any more of your life than is absolutely necessary.

Answer 2

That is a violation of labor laws.

If you are working, then you MUST be paid for that time. If you are not paid for that time, then you are being stolen from.

Your boss can not clock out for you. That is highly illegal.

Breaks: If you work 4-6 hours = 15 minute break
If you work 6-8 hours = 30 minute break
If you work 8 hours or more = 30 minute break + 15 min.

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) sets minimum wage and overtime pay standards for employment. The Act also gives the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) Wage Hour Division the authority to investigate and gather data regarding the wages and hours of employment for entities subject to the requirements of the Act. Employers that violate minimum wage or overtime pay provisions may have to pay back wages and penalties.

This act of your employer amounts to wrongful restraint. The legal definition of wrongful restraint is:

Whoever voluntarily obstructs any person, so as to prevent that person from proceeding in any direction in which that person has a right to proceed, is said wrongfully to restrain that person.

Starting this month(June 2010),nobody can buy alcohol(that's the only thing I know so far) unless you have a valid ID.That was only limited for minors,you could only buy it starting at the age of 21,but now even obvious-looking adults are required to show proof of ID.I don't think it has to do with health issues;everybody knows that anyone can get health problems due to alcohol consumption,NOT just minors.I noticed this change since the ***** Jan Brewer signed her sorry-@ss law.In other words,this is just another way for them to try to round up illegals=is about immigration policies,not the well being of citizens.I wonder what else will become illegal or require proof of IDs even for adults(cigarettes,food,sex toys,etc).
