My workplace said anyone who works overtime without permission won’t be paid for it.

Plus they're paying me a dollar an hour less than what they said, in writing, they would. How illegal is this? Edit: The manager announced in a meeting on Monday that from now on, any hours worked beyond what is ordinarily scheduled (which happens all the time due to the work) will not be paid unless a manager gives explicit permission.

Do the people who post jobs not care about the reviews former employees leave?

I'm currently employed but looking for any other job and I'm seeing such awful reviews for a lot of places. They don't sound like the employee were fired but rather they quit on their own. So, do recruiters or managers not realize those horrible reviews keep people away? And if someone bites the bullet and realizes how true they are, they're just gonna end up with high turnover?

Final Paycheck Question (California)

I recently quit my job on Sunday. I work in a restaurant with high turnover and at will employment. I was entitled to my final check by Wednesday by 3:30pm but when I texted my manager about it he tried to tell me they ‘couldn’t write individual checks anymore so I would have to wait for payroll on Monday’. I informed him that that would incur a daily waiting period fee of one days wages (~$188 a day) and he instantly texted and said I could pick it up between 10am and 12 pm today. I let him know that I work mornings and would not be able to meet at that time. I received no response. Today I tried to get the check when I left my new job and the manager said that the check could only be given to me by my chef (the owner) and that…

Quitting my job, scrambling to pillage benefits plan?

I'm quitting my job next week and have an offer lined up with another company; better pay, a million times better benefits, working conditions. I need to make maximum use of my Healthcare benefits in the next two weeks. So far I have a boot slip for new safety boots (they'll never even be used lol), a dentist visit, massage, and physiotherapy planned. Hmu reddit, how do you recommend I make my benefits plan feel like a shell of its former self, or just general tips to take advantage of in the last two weeks of work?

I Need Advice On Getting Fired

So, 4 days before my landlord starts eviction proceedings, I got approved for an apartment. I will be moving out of Utah. I work remotely for a hospital chain in CA. I had to fill out paperwork to be approved to work in another state, but I needed an address. Didn't know what that was going to be until today. My work has put a freeze on working in other states. They won't open up accepting forms until Fall 2022. I can either work in Utah or resign. I'm not going to be doing either of those things. I pretty much can work my weekend shift this coming weekend. I need to get fired in order to get UE. Any advice? I'm worried the company will Cover Their Ass me out of getting UE.
