The pizza place I deliver for has a system for clocking out on deliveries. When I’m in the store, I make minimum wage. $9 something. When I go out for delivery, that drops down to $7 something.
In order to make our out times look better, they’ve been clocking us out before the pizzas are ready. Meaning I will sit for 15 minutes cutting pizzas, cashing out customers, etc. I’m getting paid less than the legal minimum wage for my labor. Multiple times a night. I often spend 2+ hours doing minimum wage work, for less than minimum wage.
Do I have any options or resources available to me to rectify this?
4$ a day isn’t a lot. But if I work 300 days a year, thats $1,200 they’re stealing from me.
I’m afraid if I bring it up to my boss, they’ll lower my on the road wages, because I’m pretty sure the minimum wage for tipped employees in my state is $5 something.
I’m just frustrated, too tired to really make a big fuss about it, but I feel like I need to do something. Do I have any options other than finding a new job?
