This seems to be coming up a lot so here is a quick list of what to do in this scenario.
-
DO NOT advise them that what they are doing is illegal. This will only work against you
-
If the warning was given via group email, immediately “reply to all” and announce what you are paid.
-
If the warning was given over a group chat/text, immediately respond and announce what you are paid.
-
If the warning was given in a team meeting, immediately ask to speak and announce what you are paid.
-
If the warning was made directly to you in private, immediately use whatever communication tool listed above will be most effective in announcing what you are paid.
-
Wait patiently to be disciplined/terminated. If legally allowed to do so then secretly record the meeting.
-
Again, DO NOT advise them that what they are doing is illegal.
-
Be sure that any documentation of your discipline or termination specifically states it was done due to discussing wages. If not then ask for it to be specified.
-
Report the violation to the NLRB and any other local agencies you can.
