Is it wrong for an employer to change company policy in the middle of a quarter?

Can they?\n\nSure.\n\nCan you sue over it?  Well, you could try, but I really really doubt\nyou would get anywhere.  You would have to prove monetary\ndamages.\n\nYou could probably argue that the company's by-laws and\npolicies form an implied part of your employment contract,\nbut companies change these policies all the time and I have\nyet to see any employee successfully litigate just because\nthe policies weren't the ones he signed up with.\n\nYou would have to prove that you had take action (or hadn't\ndone something you would ordinarily have done) based on\nthe company's policies and that the modification of those\npolicies demonstrably hurts you.\n\nIf you think that they have somehow reduced a benefit, you\nwould have to prove that you could/would have taken another\njob which would not have better benefits.\n\nBy the time all is said and done, you'll have spent more money\nthen you'd recoup.

You can insist, but your Company does not have to oblige. \n\nYour Company would have to consider if:\n* You come under the definition of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995.\n* You are the parent or carer for a child aged 5 or less.\n* You are the parent or carer of a registered disabled child aged 18 or less.\n\nThe law is changing to add carers to this. But even in points 2 and three, the Company has a duty to consider but not to agree, and allowing someone else to changes their hours of work does not set a precedent, sorry!

No.\n\nAsk to speak with the manager or supervisor because it is whatever transaction comes in first not by amount.\n\nBe persistent. If that is their policy, let them know you didn't know and to let you see that policy in writing.\n\nGood luck.

It depends on the nature of the data being referred to. Generally, in order to have data amended or removed, the onus is on the individual to provide accurate proof of the default to the company concerned. Simply telling them the data is inaccurate is not good enough.

The law is that you have to pay your taxes in the quarter that you have earned the income. If not you get penalized. The only reason that I know this is that I researched it last night. I have a seasonal job and most of my work is done in the first and last quarters. I can't wait till the end of the year to pay. Id say that 20 - 25% of your income should be held per check and you would be safe unless you make big money.......over 75-80 a year.

Absolutely.  This is usually a period called probation.  This is typically explained, up front, to a new employee.  You should have had an orientation or at least been given an employee handbook - which is your responsibility to read.

Probably not a lot that you can do aside from looking for another job.  You could try and plead your case with your supervisor or the HR department but that's about it.\n\nUnless you have a written contract of employment that states that you will be a regular full-time employee by a certain date, your employment is considered "at will" and the terms can be altered at any time the employer (or you) choose to do so.

Say it exactly as you just did.\nIt's not in the original scope of the job and to either do it right the way the first time or you'll be having a chat with the person who hired you to redefine both your responsibilities and your pay scale.\n\nAll they've got to do is their job.  If they can't hack it, I think the owner has a right to know it.

All companies have their own rules.  There is not one rule for all companies.  It also depends on the job within the company.\n\nMy son just changed jobs and they offered him a company car right off the bat as a benefit of that job. He was a car salesman at the previous place and got a job at a different place as a sales manager.  He asked for and got a monthly monetary allowance instead of the car.\n\nYou've got to talk with your company.

Yes - you should amend as soon as you realize your error.  If the error will cost you money amending quickly can prevent penalties and interest.  And if you're going to get more back you'll get it sooner!

I think getting excited and filing wage claims or contacting the labor board are a bit extreme for this circumstance. Staying in contact with the Payroll department, and stressing the import of their maintaining the responsibility of paying in a timely manner would be my first choice. The direct deposit should take effect on the second cycle (typical). \nMaybe I'm too tolerant, but I usually don't get too worked up until late checks have become the rule rather than the exception. With being new at the company, living in a hotel and all, I'm not too surprised there was a delay. Sure, it's disappointing and consternating, and certainly a concern looking forward, but hopefully the situation will go away, and congratulations on the new position and new city.

I could be wrong, but I think that is more of an 'employer specific' kind of question. I live in Pennsylvania and I have held several different types of jobs here- some allow the rollover vacation days and others consider it a forfeiture of days at year's end, if they aren't taken....\nSo I think it might really be up to you employer...

You need to call the labor relation board in your state and see if that is legal. It doesn't sound like it but they would know the answers. You can do it without stating what company you work for.

It depends on your employeers policy.  There's NO law requiring comp time, and if you mean comp time as in not being paid OT then that's illegal in most cases.

You would have to check the employee handbook for your company.  In my company, if you are not working due to a Worker's Comp claim during the annual raise, you would not get that raise until you return to work.  I would check with HR for details regarding your company.

NO!Indeed, it is agaisnt or violating your contract you and him duly signed. Employment contract is a legal paper. He/she should respect your time even you're just an employee. You should communicate with him in a nice and professional way. If you meet both ends, change the contract for adjustment.Be safe!

Make sure you're an Administrator then change the time.  Make sure no Group Policy restricts you from saving changes.
