A little over 2 weeks ago I(17f) had final exams at school and I had requested that I have those days off of work so I could avoid being too stressed out. They still scheduled me on those days which wouldn't have been a big deal but instead of a 4 hour shift like I normally have I was given 2 8 hour shifts on Wednesday and Thursday. I'm only supposed to work 8 hours on weekends not school days especially with it being exam time. I was very stressed and ended up having a panic attack on that Wednesday and had to leave. I got the other shift shortened to 4 hours. A few days later i checked the new schedule and I wasn't going to get a day off for another 5 days(the last day off was 5 days prior to this) and I told my manager that…

Is this legal? I am in IL where I believe it’s a requirement to pay time and a half for OT if you are a contractor. I have asked this and It’s been declined for multiple weeks. What is my recourse, and I am entitled to extra compensation?

An hour for lunch is fucking bullshit And 30 minutes? Forget it! Before you’ve gotten your food, the fucking time is gone. I would take a pay cut to have two hours lunch

I’ve been working at this job overall for almost 5 years, but this particular department for about 2. Normally it’s a steady, easy going department. However, there are some weeks where I get a heavy amount of workflow while also being assigned additional daily job duties that add on top of it. My management decided to surprise me yesterday and mention that I’d start training for their busiest job function next week. Yet, there’s quite a few issues I see with this: 1: This particular department not only has the heaviest case volumes, but is most of the time always behind on completing these before the required time period set by management and is known to do a lot of excess overtime. 2: The coworker who most likely will be training me has been avoiding me and acting slightly passive towards me for almost a year due to outside of…

So much of what the franchise administration and top management did ultimately was the cause of their demise, which also made front page news. This is a bit long and reworked from a prior retelling – definitely a satisfying outcome to see abusive ownership/management get theirs. TLDR at bottom. Over twenty years ago my life and plans that I had to stay in my hometown were drastically uprooted and found myself moved to another city. Pounding the pavement almost every day looking for work wasn't getting me any results and would from time to time find myself relaxing at a cheap diner and reading a complementary newspaper… and there it was a job opening for an assistant manager for an expanding well entrenched fast food franchise in town. So I called and basically set up my own interview (one of many more omens I seemed to have missed) and tadaa…

so i work at a prison in florida that requires me to wait in a security line, be searched, and then get my keys that are needed to get into my office and a personal body alarm. i am being told that i have to be at my desk at 8am. security sometimes takes upwards of 20 min and i can only clock in as early as 7:53 am. in order to be at my desk at 8am i would have to give up 20 or so min of my free unpaid time to get through the line to my office. i know there are laws stating that i have to be paid due to it being “suffered to work” but im struggling to find the laws. ​ im being threatend with a write up because i will not come in prior to my shift and do these things that…
