employment standards ...?

Question

if i was acting manger at a store for a while and was not paid for all of it AND i never got my raise after 3 months and I think i am intitled to back pay for it....

what the hell would i type to search it? I have found the government of BC page and employment standards page and stuff.

but is there some technical term or something?

thanks dudes and dudettes

lol not a state..... BC, Canada.

i tried searching "acting manager" and "raises" and "wage increases" and such on the bc employment standas page.
i just dont know what to ask for i guess. what words i would use for the search.

ok i didnt mention that it caused psoriasis due to stress. the manager gave due notice and it took them 3 months to send another one in. Also my job was terminated today and i am not 100% sure it was for just cause.....

i just want to know what to type in to search that/

I ALREADY FOUND THE EMPLOYMENT STANDARDS SITE

also i was not trained. i was not asked to do the job nor was it delegated to me. i did it because i had been there the longest (2.5 months) and because i wanted a pay check. i took over EVERYTHING. and i had no bloody idea of what i was doing. they gave me 2 pay periods of back pay when i should have been paid 4 or 5

Answer 1

If you live in the United States your are not entitled to any compesation over and above minimum wage. If you were acting in a management capacity I would agree that you are entitled to proper compesation for the job performed, but there is no existing law that would compel such compensation, unless you have a signed employment contract stating compesation terms with the employer.

Try Canadian Employment Law or Canadian Employment standards.

Answer 2

Where are you from? Employment standards and compenstation laws differ country to country, state to state...
