Well that isn't fair....but many times the work environment isnt fair. I would try to show the boss that you are very efficient at what you do do. Then in a short time ask for an increase in your wages. Maybe try an be more outgoing and friendly, once in a while bring a plate of baked goodies from home to the boss and staff. They will take notice. Being more fun, and open and friendly will help too. Without brown nosing.

At Will Employment = all employees in the US are at will employees unless they work under a union contract. This law is the strongest anti-slavery law in the country. It allows you to quit at any time with or without notice. This same law allows employers to end your employment for any reason, at any time as long as the reason is not based on protected class discrimination. Time record rounding = in the US, time record rounding is legal as long as time is rounded the same both directions. Most employers round to the 3 or 5 minute, although some will do it as much as 15minutes. - What this means with 3 minute rounding that if you clock in one minute early or one minute late, you would be considered the same. Where as if you clock in who minutes early you will be paid for 3 minutes and if you clock in 2 minutes late, you will be counted as 3 minutes late. Incorrect pay check = If you receive an incorrect pay check and it's not related to rounding, your employer would be required to correct your pay on the next check. Overtime rate = California, Washington, and Colorado have daily overtime laws. Tennessee does not. Overtime in TN is over 40 hours in a week at 1.5% regular wages and over 60 hours in a week is double time. Unless the employees are working more than 40 hours in a week there would be no overtime earned and the employer is not breaking any labor law. Salary increases = there is NO requirement in the US that salary increases never occur. The ONLY jobs that offer salary increases every 3 months are low end positions. Once you graduate college, you will be lucky to get a raise once a year, although it's very possible it's much less often.

Been there / Done that , so i can tell you from experience...your time will come. Your work will show, and so will your co-workers - they will find out who works and who doesn't. After that, it's just if they like your work and if you progress from there. You might be like me too, and have to look for recognition in ways you won't be told. I'm in a position that reflects making money for the company.....or not.....i dunno sometimes , cause i never get a "Hey good job dude!" or whatever. But recently, the 2 owners (husband and wife) showed me they're making money - i see she's bought a brand new Mustang convertible, which isn't even tagged yet and she's already had "pimped out" wheels , tires , and new chrome grill put on it , and HE just bought another delivery franchise - so THAT kinda tells me i must be doing an ok job! LOL! Now, maybe they can show me a raise!

Talk to your boss and ask for a raise. It's better not to compare yourself with you friend when talking to your boss though. So be polite! :)

You could try to stay off the wrong side of the boss......and brush up on your grammar.

Respectfully ask for a meeting to discuss your salary. Explain that you are aware that there are coworkers who are paid more, and ask what the reason is.

Don't say anything. I don't even think you're supposed to know what other people are making. You could get into trouble for knowing.
