Complain to the local labor enforcement agency. It's usually listed under the State Government in the phone book. But you should have that wage promise in writing. Otherwise they can deny they ever made the promise. You might try emailing your boss to ask about it and then getting a documented response from him. Anything they say that indicates there was a verbal agreement could be used against them. That's why you should send an email. If he responds verbally, then send him an email that summarizes what he said. "Thanks for answering my question today in your office. I understand that I will be getting $X per hour starting next week. Please let me know if I misunderstood."

Absolutely zilch! A furniture co. recently took my money, never delivered products worth 2500.00, then closed up shop. 2 months before close, I knew this was going to happen because the owners kept ducking me. So, I contact BBB. A bunch of mumbo jumbo---we're right on it. We'll file a report. ZILCH. By the time they got to my case, the store was shutdown. If you really want a better shot (also depends on the circumstances), call local authorities. I am dead serious. I called the DA's office here in SF--the consumer fraud division--those guys are on shady business practice sooo fast. Again, not sure what your situation is or how much but take care of it before the possibility of those scrupulous owners filing bankruptcy. When that happens, you are as good as SOL.

The jobs you describe are mostly min wage jobs so nothing will change. Far as letting go of workers to hire other for less. I would think a company could not afford the law suits that would result from that

I'm a former Wal Mart employee. I think the company needs to more for its workers. For example, they don't offer vision insurance, yet the newer stores have optomitrists in them. They also need to make the overall insurance cheaper. I found that most people who work there for the insurance can't afford anything else. Finally, they need to offer a bigger discount, like 25%.

I think you're overthinking this.  I mean, people make mistakes and people will get irate over them.  You did your job, and correctly, I don't think you have much to worry about.  Also, it sounds like you're in a customer service position...take some advise and get used to it now, it only gets worse.  :)

Call the company and explain the situation.  They can often reverse the charge on your account when you correct the situation.  Most places are reasonable.

1.5% is like... well, cold pizza. Sounds like a lot of hard work has been done and the company is missing an opportunity to give this employee recognition and compensation for his/her contributions to its bottom line.\nGreed...greed, I say (on part of the company). I'll get that CEO didn't get a 1.5% raise.

I to deal with people like this everyday. You have your regulars that are just plain miserable people, and always show you attitude when they come in. Then you have those that are rude because they are dissatisfied with your company for some reason (out of stock on an item, pricing, long wait, etc.),or their just having a bad day. When you finally are able to rectify the situation you usually see a positive change in their attitude. These are normally just your eveyryday people who if they were able to see the way they were acting, would probably be very embarrassed. Finally there are those that actually get kicks out of being rude to people, especially when they know you are unable to fight back and say what you feel. Don't take it personally, just smile an please them as best you can. When they leave your store you can make fun of them and mock them all you want.

There are no laws regulating promotions and such.  The only way you really could even have a chance at winning a dispute this in court is if your employer had already given you a raise, you had it on your paycheck, with a stub to prove it, and then they took it away.  They've probably got you on that though because they came back on you and told you it was on a trial basis.  It would be a "your word against theirs" thing and no one would do anything about it.  If you work for a chain like Wal-Mart or something like that, you may be able to get something done about it by contacting the main office, or your district manager.  Unfortunately, you probably will have no luck with legal action.

Owning up to your mistake is always the best. Be as apologetic as possible about it, demonstrating responsibility and regret. I've made two crucial mistakes in the past month. I sold the wrong Rx to the wrong person, although it was a fellow workmate picking up her mom's prescription (She brought back the Rx), and I closed the store before a customer could get their medicine (We had to close early, but I forgot that the customer was coming at the last minute). You just have to apologize and never argue with the call. If you do it looks like you are trying to wriggle out of a mistake you made. When management starts to try to right a wrong, they look at the first task, which is helping the employee understand how they need to act differently next time. If they see this is achievable, that makes them happy, actually.

Well, out of all departments, that is the most frantic.  Perhaps, they can cross train you so you can get more hours in other departments??  \n\nThink about the benefit of employee discount for holiday shopping ;)
