So as the title says the owners are routinely late with signing our checks. According to my provinces labour laws, employers must to pay us by the end of the specified pay period. However, the reality is even worse. My manager who writes the check can't find time to get them signed because they intentionally make themselves unavailable so they can delay paying us. (The end is a is a bit of speculation on my end, but my manager admitted to me that he had to remind the owners that it's illegal to not pay time and a half on holidays so I think it's not out of the question) A lot of us are getting very fed up with this shit and I'm now wondering what we can do to force the owners to pay us on time. The nuclear option is a class action lawsuit but we're just…

I just quit my job today and my boss, the store’s manager, threatened me with going to court and suing me because of bad reviews that had been posted in the store’s website. The work environment was abusive af. I even have video recordings of my boss screaming and humiliating my coworkers, included myself. I decided to leave specifically because of this. I do have as well several positive reviews though. Legally, I was not even a full time employee yet. I was going through a “training phase” that lasted just a couple of months. Is this a serious threat? Should I be concerned?

Hello! I found a job application that’s asking gender identity and sexual orientation…. Is that legal in the US?

US here, have a temporary position amd was told in my job offer the pay was just increased to be over $20 an hour, i have it in a voicemail as proof of this. But i received a paper that showed my wage to be $19.62 an hour. Do i have any grounds here to get the “Just over $20” Edit: USA, Government job, Michigan

I live and work in NY, and just heard one of my managers basically admit to a postal office employee that our workplace is a fire hazard. I'm obviously not comfortable with this and am wondering if I can anonymously report my workplace as a fire hazard so they won't fire me in retaliation.

This is a huge huge difference and should be stressed in regards to this topic. Anti work, does not mean I won't contribute to the building of that tsunami wall after the earthquake. But if it's an average day, and you tell me to stack 50 rocks, and I find out there is a machine that does it, but you just have an ego problem and want me to suffer simply because you asked me and I must be loyal. If you asked to jump off cliff, they want to see your body at bottom of shore with you screaming “Like that??”

Halloween dress up day at work a couple of years back a white woman was dressed in shabby clothes and black face. As a black man I was offended. I talked to an HR assistant, that was white, about it but was dismissed, I told her that I was very offended by her comments. (She said it was just all in fun). The following Monday I was called into the HR managers office and was written up for intimidating the HR assistant.

Hey so I have a question, someone I know who caught covid is being harassed by her employer for testing positive after she had worked a couple of days at work. My friend wasn’t aware she had contracted covid. So once she tested positive it was too late and it spread to some coworkers. Her job is texting her saying shit like “you took the whole office “ “ you should’ve stayed home”, pretty much victim blaming. Where is the line between just being unprofessional and blatant employer retaliation? So far it seems like an annoyance and disrespectful, but what should she look out for if that line is crossed?

My wife moved from fulltime and highwage at a hospital to 1 to 2 days a week at a local pediatricians office when we had a few kids. The arrangement was accepting a lower pay in exchange for part time work on a set schedule of 1 day during the work week, and 1 weekend every other weekend. My mother watches the kids during the work week, I watch them on my saturday off. My wife made this change to be present in my kids lives and not ship them off to daycare every day after I got a great raise. This employer is the type to seek the work “family” and to have get togethers and dinners to make workers feel guilty about seeking wage increases or looking for other work. During the past 2 years with all the covid stuff, the amount of patients they saw basically tripled,…
