What is the name of your state? PA
I work for a family owned business and I have noticed that it is not always ran the way that I am used to. My shift is 6 hrs and I get a 20 min break. I took this job with the agreement at my hire date that I was to work a set amount of hours, part time and on certain days. The employeer set the time and days, I worked my school schedule around it. In the beginning of Sept, I noticed that time had been added to 3 of my 4 shifts, without permission from me. I addressed the situation with my employer, who put me off for a week stating they were to busy or would leave before I could see them. Then when I finally got to discuss the situation I was told that the schedule could not be changed until the next one came out, 2 weeks. Now, 2 months later, they have done it again. I wrote my boss an email reminding them of the meeting we just had and asking for a correction in the schedule. Their response was that I could see them about this. When I attempted to speak to them they were to busy and now are out of the office til next week.
What are my rights as an employee? Does the employeer have to stick to the agreed upon time at hire date? What about breaks? I have read that for a min of 5 hrs you are required a 30 min non paid break and a 10 min coffee break. Is this true?
