Okay...my job is as an assistant manager. I typically work 45-50 hours a week, Monday through Sunday. My questions are these:
1)Many days my hours are from 9:30 in the morning to 9:30-10:00 at night...should i be getting extra pay or time and a half for hours worked that are over 12 in a single day? I do receive overtime for hours over 40 in a week.
2) At certain times when things are backed up in the store my boss has all employees come in when we are closed at night and sometimes work until 2-4 in the morning. Regular employees are told that this is WITHOUT pay, and that they will participate if they value their jobs. Since I am a manager, I am paid for these hours...but at my regular pay rate. Should I be receiving more? An example is this coming sunday he has planned to do this. I work from open to close- 10 am to 7 pm , and am expected to continue working at my regular pay rate until 2 in the morning. Is there anything I can do about this?
3) I am scared to say anything because i value my job. If I speak up and subsequently the hours I am given to work in a week diminish because my boss is "getting back" at me (I have seen him use this method with past employees), do i have any legal recourse?
4) At the beginning of our pay week (we are paid every two weeks) i was told that i would be receiving a pay raise. A week and a half later when I got my paycheck the raise was not applied. I feel cheated because during this particular pay period I had worked around 20 hours of overtime. I have a strong suspicion that my raise was held off until the NEXT paycheck to avoid paying me the increased rate. Am I owed the difference?
