Boss being shady (need advice)

Hello everyone, long time lurker. I’ve found myself in a stressful situation at work. This entire year I’ve been working 60-80 hours a week on night shift without asking for a single day off. My company is a sub contractor for a very large corporation. Turns out the corporation awards it’s night shift personnel with a $6 an hour night differential on top of my hourly pay. My boss has only been giving me $4 out of the $6. He claims he’s withholding the rest for taxes. Is this legal? Also I requested (2) weeks ago that I needed to take a day off in the middle of the week to my client and my boss for personal reasons. In order for me to take the day off I was offered to do a favor for my boss. My boss attempted to get me to work a 6 hour gig…


Hello everyone, long time lurker.

I’ve found myself in a stressful situation at work.

This entire year I’ve been working 60-80 hours a week on night shift without asking for a single day off.

My company is a sub contractor for a very large corporation. Turns out the corporation awards it’s night shift personnel with a $6 an hour night differential on top of my hourly pay.

My boss has only been giving me $4 out of the $6. He claims he’s withholding the rest for taxes.

Is this legal?

Also I requested (2) weeks ago that I needed to take a day off in the middle of the week to my client and my boss for personal reasons.

In order for me to take the day off I was offered to do a favor for my boss.
My boss attempted to get me to work a 6 hour gig on top of 13 hour shift, and got upset when I told him no.

Now fast forward to this week, I asked via text message who’s going to cover my day off (it’s been 24 hours since I’ve texted him and I’ve repeatedly reached out for communication).

I have received nothing.

What do I do?
