I'm in a unique situation atm. Someone at my office filed a wage claim and suddenly everyone in the office received back pay. It equaled out to about a full paycheck for everyone in the office. Not really sure why it happened the bossed framed it as a bonus……. come to find out somone filed a wage claim and it was backpay we were all owed. How do I know this? I was called into a meeting with my boss, and thanks to all of you I recorded it.
He basically said he knows it was me who filed the claim and this is a sign of someone not being a team player. At first i was confused and let him know I did not file the claim, and if I did this conversation would be considered retaliation in which case, if I did file, he'd get a massive fine among other things. As a form of back the fuck off if you will.
He didn't seem to care. My hours are cut, and my boss isn't fare off from triggering me into violence.
Do in have recourse here? I did not file the claim, but am be retaliated against as if I did.
