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?
