My son (18) worked at a fast food restaurant and was one of the better workers. He busted his butt to learn all the positions so he could fill in for anything, so much so that he taught the managers how to do things.
Anyway last fall he caught wind of another place hiring for $3/hr more that what he was making. So he told them he was giving his two week notice unless they could match it. His shift manager asked the area manager if he could match it and she gave the approval.
Fast forward to about a week and a half ago and he finds out that they never gave him the promised raise.
He kept his composure and ask if they would honor that agreement and pay him the back pay and they said no. So he immediately gave his two week notice.
At this point we are wondering if there is any recourse. The shift manager and my son became buds so he sent my son a screen shot of the text conversation showing the approval by the area manager to give the raise to keep him at their store.
Any ideas? We heard maybe reaching out to the Labor Board(?). I thought maybe we could take the store to small claims court. He figured he was out about $800 because of this.
