Just the title. I’m only 17 so I don’t really know how everything with wages or raises work but before minimum wage was upped from, I was given a 50 cent raise (instead of making 12.50, I made 13.00). However, now that minimum wage was upped, it seems my manager has taken my raise away without telling me. Instead of making minimum with the extra 50 cents (13.75), I only make minimum. I’ve mentioned this to my shift manager who also had a 50 cent raise and it seems this has happened to her too (which honestly, I feel is crazier – if there’s anyone that deserves to be making above minimum, it’s her). I also mentioned this to my friend (who’s suing the same company, though a different store) and she said it was straight out illegal and that I should sue . Though I’m not really thinking of…

My car is in the shop for the foreseeable future and I’m super curious to see answers to this question in case someone has an idea? The least amount of work required is the best answer. Thx.
