I think my employer is screwing us all out of overtime pay

  1. #1
    I'm a driver, but I am NOT an Indie Contractor. I am a W2/W4 employee of the company with set schedules, benefits offered, and everything, yet they make it seem as if overtime pay doesn't exists, and I sure haven't seen a dime of it. I emailed them about it (along with a bunch of other stuff), and they completely ignored it so now I sent another much shorter one.

    They got caught and nerfed in a lawsuit a while ago for stealing people's tips, so they had to cut everybody a check; but that kind of corporate culture doesn't go away without people getting fired. I was also supposed to get $100 in credit 5 ever ago, but they sent this confirmation email with 0 instructions, so I emailed them finally today and they sent me a worthless response, so I had to email again just now.

    But I don't understand how a company with hundreds or thousands of employees would be able to convince everybody they aren't eligible for overtime pay if they really were, but this doesn't make sense to me how I as I regular hourly employee would not be entitled to overtime.

    Keep records of everything and report them to the labor board.

    They likely have a list of excuses they tell people that call them out but those don't work on the government.

    Hopefully it doesn't have to come to that but some employers think they can get away with anything.

    Just report them to whatever overseeing authority is applicable in your neck of the woods.

    Excellent advice, also train your bowels to only operate on company time as I have.

    At Sears that would be a written warning.

    Possibly a discipline.

    Oh, they are DEFINITELY fucking me over. There is absolutely no difference between a stub with 26 hours and 68 hours, no new lines differentiating base pay from time and a half. Because there isn't any TMK.

    On the plus side, I apparently got $2.25 worth of raises in the span of a couple months for a job I've only had for like 7, so that's pretty chill.

    Ok, I might be wrong and retarded. I forgot that 40 hours is for ONE week and not over 2 weeks lol, so I thought anything over 40 on my paystub needed overtime and I sent them a couple emails for stubs with like 37 and 47 to ask why one didnt qualify and now i feel dumb.

    But I have a mildly hard time believing I didn't go over 40 last payperiod, I had 69 hours worked, I didnt think Theyd be split that even

    You're always wrong, dude. Your brain is mush. That's why you can't get a job with any critical thinking involved.
