I have complained in here before about my job; bonuses, inter-office bullshit, etc. But I am so close to quitting right now and I'm in tears…
I have worked at my current job for over 3 years now and I'm hourly… Also I live in NV. I went on the labor commissioner website to view laws on a certain topic and then I found the following info also.
Anyhow here is my gripe #1:
In 2020 Nevada labor says that employees are to accrue 0.001923/hour worked for paid time off. Having said that, I haven't EVER been given any type of paid time off when I have had to call in for being sick (including a week when I had Covid) – my checks were always docked for missing work and there isn't any type of accounting of any type of accrual; in fact it's like that law doesn't exist in here. In the NV statutes it does say that the employer should employ 50+ employees for that to be legal and I'm fairly certain the majority of the time that we do employ that many but there is a slim possibility that there have been times that we have not. So does anyone know if they look at just the bottom line of number of employees? Or is it based on how many employees are working when you file a claim with the labor board?
Gripe #2:
In the past, when we work 1/2 days I typically get paid for the whole day. And on my paycheck I didn't get paid for the whole day, let alone the New Year holiday. So as I was going through our timesheets and attaching them to paychecks I noticed a few of the guys had a full 40 hour work week even though they did not work 40 hours – they worked the same amount of time as me – 28 hours. And one of the Owners of the company made a big deal out of this yesterday (about people getting paid for Monday when they didn't work) but still they got paid! Is that discrimination?!!? I don't understand why those guys got paid for time they didn't work and I couldn't even get a 1/2 day paid when in the past (even as recent as the Friday before Christmas) I would get paid?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated – I just don't know if I should quit and contact a labor attorney? Because lately I have been feeling discriminated against and want to get all my ducks in a row before I do quit.
