Attention all RI CVS Employees Read This!!!
So I've got big news everyone. Some backstory here, when I was employed with CVS last October I filed a complaint with the RI Department of Labor because CVS wasn't paying time and a half on Sundays, a clear violation of RI Title 25-3. Well, I've been on the phone with HR for the better part of a month, and they finally are going to give me my wages that I'm owed.
This is huge news because it sets a precedent that they acknowledge the law applies to me, meaning it also applies to you guys as well. I recommend that you all call HR, and demand what you're owed. For those more skeptical or worried about retaliation don't worry. The Department of Labor is on the case, and you will get your wages back, make no mistake. About a year ago I I filed the exact same type of complaint against Walgreens, now exactly a year later they had everybody paid out, and now they have to pay the penalties!
CVS is no different! Moral of the story, learn your rights and fight for them, companies like cvs are counting on you not knowing your rights. If HR asks here's the statute you show them, if they have an issue, direct them to this post and they'll smarten up real fast: http://webserver.rilin.state.ri.us/Statutes/TITLE25/25-3/INDEX.HTM
P.S. By the way, thank you for terminating me for a reason some internet troll made up to ruin my career, it made it much easier for me to accomplish this. 🙂
