What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Missouri
Good Evening, I have a handful of questions regarding payroll law in Missouri. First let me explain my position and situation.
I am a commissioned Sales Professional that is also a Manager in Training. Originally we were paid on a $11/hour draw system, meaning that we were paid either our commission rate as long as it equaled more than $11/hour. I am also a Manager in training so I receive $500 a month on top of that rate.
On December 27th I was promoted to Manager in Training level 3 which was a raise to $800 a month. I have never received this raise.
On January 15th they changed the draw rate to $8/hour with out notice retroactively to January 1st.
On February 12th, 2015 during a performance evaluation I reminded them that I had not yet received my raise to level 3. My regional manager apologized and stated that I would see retroactive pay to cover this on the next pay date. At this moment I was also Promoted to Manager in training level 4 which is a monetary increase to $1,000/month and that I would also see that increase for the current pay period.
Today was the Pay Date that I was supposed to see the current raise and the retroactive reimbursement for what they hadn't paid me yet. My regional manager stated that they owed me $1,400 which after some maths turned out to be correct but it was not on my check. I was also only paid a commission of $293 even though I should have been paid the equivalent of 93 hours at $8 an hour due to the draw a difference of $443. And then the icing on the cake... I was out of town 3 days for a funeral. We are paid a flat rate of $100 per day but instead they paid me $198... the equivalent of 8/hour per time missed..... They have promised to fix all of this but told me I have to wait until the next payday. I am not in a financial situation where I can wait this out. Do I have a leg to stand on legally as far as asking for payment sooner?
TLDR: I am owed just over $2,000 dollars from my employer and they will not reimburse me until the next pay date even though I was promised it on this pay day.
Thank you in advance
