After my employer found out that I had contacted the labor board about the length of time to put on my timecard when I was called in after hours, I got e-mails saying I was forceing them into doing something they did not want to do. (increase pay) and that I was being paid less for running an entire office alone, than someone that worked in their office, just because it was not as busy. I don't think that that should have that much of a bearing on the amount of pay. I had a big responsibility for them to open that office everyday and to be there everyday. I scheduled any doc/dent appts as late in the day as possibe in order to keep the office open. I have had to ask for every raise that I got and was not even told that benefits were offered until someone told me almost a year after I had started. I could go on but I don't want to babble more..
Tell me what you would do?
Need some advice..
think Unemployment would work?

Leave them alone and move on to a better job. Living well is the best revenge.

Labor laws are there for a reason and it sounds like you were just in your complaint. Usually the board will not accept a retaliation suit unless you have good reason, so you will probably see positive results from that. The problem for you know will be with unemployment and with your resume'. If it were me I would apply for the unemployment, but they will probably dispute it since you quit. However if they do that you can ask for a hearing where you and your ex employer will have to justify all of your reasoning. If you are confident about your decisions then "Go For It". While you are looking for a new job, you need to be very careful about how you describe your dilemma w/ your past employer. You need to be as vague as possible, but truthful.
Good Luck to you, I hope that you teach that employer a lesson!!!!

I would file a lawsuit and check in with the Better Business Bureau. As far as I am aware, you are not eligible for unemployment compensation if you voluntarily leave a job. It wouldn't hurt to ask, but I'd be looking for a new job in the meantime.

you quit-they may have given you a hard time, but you chose to quit; did you plan this? if you weren't satisfied, you could just as well been looking for other work while still employed.....
