Check with the labor board in the state that you live in.  You can get a phone number in your local phone book or from the web.  They have people that will be able to answer your questions immediately.  \n\nBecause of the minimum wage laws, many states require that a company pay at least minimum wage even if you don't earn any commissions.  A lot of companies pay the minimum wage as a draw against your commissions.  For example, the company may pay you $1,500 per month, but the first $1,500 in commissions goes to paying that back.  Because of the law, if you don't make the $1,500 in commissions to pay back the draw, they have to let you keep it.\n\nThe company that you work for may be liable for back pay for as long as this has been going on.  \n\nJust curious - it sounds like a miserable company and you are not making much money, why do you still work there???\n\nGood luck!!

Can depend in part on the job.  Ask your federal labor board, or go check out their website.  If they are doing wrong, the labor board may fine them and make them change it.

Not sure if it's legal or not but it's sure not fair. They hired you to perform a job duty and yet they are not providing you with the equipment to perform those duties.

This is against the policy at the company that I work for. A reduction in hours is considered to be an adverse action since it has an adverse affect on your income. Any adverse action requires a notice period, depending on what it is. I don't know about a law suit, but you should contact your human resource manager and let them know what happened. Your boss may have cut your hours without consulting HR and doesn't know that he can't do it without notice. But even if that is the case, if the manager has a justified reason to cut your hours, HR will advise him of the proper way to do it... so I would be brushing up my resume :)

I think that would depend on what state you live in. I think they all have different laws about what can and can't be done work wise. When he was hired, did they tell him how he would be paid? Does he have enough work everyday to carry him over 42 hours? Or is the company trying to 'cut back'? I would call the labor dept. and find out or even see if there is a Federal Dept. that could help. Is there an owner of the company or a District Manager or main office you can call? In Georgia, an employer can basically do whatever they want with an employee and get away with it. It is up to the employee to provide proof of whatever is going on but still the employer can always change the story or whatever. CALL YOUR LOCAL LABOR DEPT. and ask them who can help you with this problem.

it all depends on the labor laws in the state which you live. By federal law all companies have to post in a public place in the office the Labor Laws for the state which you live. See if you can find it, it is the one that tell of the "minimum wage" for your state. You can do a google search for the "Division of Labor" in your state and call them to answer your question. One thing is for sure, you should be getting straight time, or comp.time for the hours over 40.  Good luck

Go to your states wage and hour board, they have all the answers when it comes to skimming payrollers.\nI worked payroll where a company owner insisted it was legal... he got 10 years federal time. The judge didnt see it his way.\n\nADDITIONAL....What state are you in,be glad to help!

It is an OSHA requirement used to protect employees, and OSHA does not govern your home because there are no employees.

I hate those retail grocery stores!!! They pay you a penny but expect you to work until your bones get crushed. Quit that job before they fire you.

It depends on the labor laws in your state.  Many states consider anything less than 40 hrs part time, and would allow you to be scheduled up to 12/14 hrs in a day.  I'm betting Lowes KNOWS the labor laws where they are located & its perfectly legal but you can contact you State's dept of labor to satisfy your curiosity.

I think they're still subject to US labor laws since they're actually working in the US.\n\nThere are positions are are considered "exempt" from overtime.\n\n>>\nWhen Congress enacted the FLSA, it created an exemption from the minimum wage and overtime pay requirements for "any employee employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity or in the capacity of outside salesman." >>  From site below/Dept. of Labor.\n\nMany state laws have further refinements so you should check the Georgia state laws.\n\nThere are labor law attorneys who can help you navigate this area.

I think you should go work for a construction or landscaping crew..  No nights and probably no weekends... plus, you usually get paid a decent wage.

i just checked out a local college for my daughter and they say they usually have a list of jobs on a board from places close by(check that out.)\nif first job: need to set sites a little lower to start: start with fast food or any restaurant they are more flexible with hours\nor wal mart.\nif you expect to be paid 7 -9$/hour then you need to start a little lower for part time work, \nthe jobs that start with 7 - 9$/hour are factories that are not that flexible with hours.

Have a look in your local newspapers in the job section.  This sometimes works, if not have a look in the shop windows if they are looking for part-time staff.\n\nIt doesn't hurt to ask.  They can only say "No, we're not looking at the moment".

You actually have to work.  You are essentially asking to be paid for doing nothing of value to anyone.

your job can be in jeopardy if you refuse to follow a reasonable instruction. it may depend on why you didn't go in. were you sick, did you not have childcare available, was there a sale at the mall you wanted to go to, were you just lazy? they would probably pay you overtime or give you an alternate day off. the patients are their primary concern. if they feel you are not a team player and that you don't care for the health and safety of the residents, they may decide they don't want you working there.

Professionally speaking...always keep your policy and procedure handbook where you can get it.  Your policy and procedure handbook covers this and other problems you may encounter on the job and the chain of command for handling issues such as this.  Most jobs mandate that when there is a NO CALL- NO SHOW, the employee getting ready to go home must stay for no more than a half hour.  Well, that's how it was for the last two shift jobs I have had, the last one is still current.  After then it is the managers job to fill the spot.  If you can not get a concise answer from your P&P book, talk to management.  You really do not have time to play on the phone on company's time.  I hope that didnt sound too mean.  I am just saying, be cool and professionally handle these issues.  And as for the NC/NS, let administration handle that.  you just continue to do the best you can in your job responsibilities. Do not let lower level management hound you into a corner.  Review your manual.  This is not intended to be harsh. It is just straight up.
