I quit a(n awful) job and they took a little over two weeks to pay me my final check. This was a little over two years ago and I just got a notice in the mail that I finally have a hearing and might be getting my wages back. First, this system is broken. It's outrageous that it takes this long (two years in September) to get wages out of an employer who refuses to pay, but second, has anyone been through this process? What should I expect? Is there anything I should prepare? FWIW, it's pretty cut and dry; they owed me wages, didn't pay, apologized for not paying, took their time paying, and then finally paid me, and then apologized for having taken so long. Thanks for your help.

Opinion(s) on taking a leadership/supervisory position without immediate increase in salary. I was presented with a lead title aka more duties, delegating, LEADING, etc but was told there won’t be a salary raise until I’m evaluated at the end of the ninety day period, assuming I take it. Told management I would get back to them. My last job offered me the same position with an immediate salary increase, without there even being a need for me to ask for such. My managers are shady to begin with, and I feel like this is one of there stunts they’re pulling. I don’t think I need to prove myself for a position and if I do, why is it being offered to me? Or am I overthinking it? Edit: How does one professionally, yet assertively refuse a position unless they pay? It’s not that I’m ungrateful it’s just…you know..I give more/do…

Everyone has seen the job postings that don't list a $ amount just a “….. competitive salary” Here are two simple questions to ask the recruiter…. Your salaries are competitive; so what (in $) are you competitors paying for a comparable position? How many $ over under what your competitors are paying would you consider to be a competitive salary.

Was so excited for User Interface Design position. I was scheduled for interview with the managers tomorrow only to get this . ​ ” We appreciate your time, attentiveness and patience throughout the interview process. We have considered several individuals for this position and we have chosen to pursue another candidate.  Thank you for considering Kemin Industries as your employer of choice, however we will not be offering you an in person interview this time. ” ​ This seems to be common theme with me now.

Since the company my husband works for does not communicate pay and benefits before making an offer and has no intention of changing this policy, some coworkers have started this online form where you can report base salary and benefit package for your position and any other that you know of. People might be reluctant to do so and probably to talk about this form as well because of possible repercussions though, so it's not very popular at the moment. Any advice on how to promote the use of this form in a safe way? To provide a little more context: The company has multiple locations that are subject to different local laws and regulations. I know that employees can be protected by local laws in at least some parts of the country if they discuss their salaries among co-workers, but I'm not sure there is something equivalent at a…

So I accepted a job offer with a large company who have major clients in a certain industry. Fast forward, I accept the job offer last month and complete all documentation, including drug tests, references, etc., only to be told I have to interview with their clients before I can start. Now this would have been fine if the interview was done prior to the job offer. Further, it’s been a month since I accepted the offer and I’m not sure when they plan to do the client interview. The whole process stinks of keeping me on hold, till what works best for them. In the meantime, I’m waiting here stuck in a job I don’t want to work in.

I see everyday people here and around me struggling to make ends meet even if they have a degree because they can't find jobs that pay more than 20/ hr. Let me introduce you to the world of commission pay. Depending on the job your salary can be 30-90k a year and will give you bonuses on top of that based on how much you sell. This way the harder you work, the more it benefits YOU rather than it only benefits the company that you work for. If you only want to do the bare minimum, thats fine you will make a similar amount to now and probably a bit more; however, the more you work(optional not forced) the more you can make for yourself. The top three that I can think of are real estate agents, traveling salesmen, and the hidden gem -> dental sales. Dental sales is…

I'm asking because they called me and if hired, I may take it because the pay is alot more than the job I'm starting next week. Has anyone worked for them and what are they like?
