I live in Idaho and my job's office is in Washington. We commonly travel between ID and WA doing HVAC work. They give us a $150 bonus to split between lead and apprentice if you complete the job in one day. If we get a recall and someone has to go back to fix something we no longer get the bonus. My question is if I get paid out my bonus and a month later something happens and we have to go back they tell us our bonus will be pulled from the next paycheck. Can they do this?

I figured this would be the best place to ask because most of us here would get it. Say for instance I get a Target order and the amount is high enough that a 20% tip would be like $120. Mostly due to like smaller items like vitamins that cost more and such. The heaviest things are usually several half gallons of milk. My shoppers always do a pretty awesome job, and I want to show my appreciation.

Naw, just sad seeing the part of society that shouldn't exist. Knowing that…

Today I received a verbal backhand after I spoke up about some unsafe work stuff, and the bosses insisted I was being disrespectful after I indicated to them that we were being unsafe. They told me to trust them and be respectful, and I told them that me telling them there was a safety issue was top shelf trust and respect, to which, the main boss said that was only my perception. Now, none of them can look me in the eye. ​ I recorded the entire conversation.
