What is the name of your state?CA
I work for a small coffee house by the mall, I started almost 5 weeks ago.I really like working there, and the atmosphere is great, the only set back is that they are always late with pay. My last paycheck they underpaid me $50. You may think that is what I am inquiring about, but no, that is a little background info.
They just hired a new manager--no one notified me--I only found out about her because she called me yesterday to yell at me. I called in sick yesterday, I was supposed to work at nine AM, but called at seven and asked if they could find a replacment. The girl I spoke with said she'd call someone and call me back. Twenty minutes later I called back and asked if she'd found a replacement and she said she hadn't yet, but she'd call back as soon as she did. It was almost nine o clock so I called in one more time and she said not to worry about coming in, that she had someone to help her.
At five o clock my "new" boss called to yell at me about that morning, and I explained to her the situation. She asked me why I hadn't called and given twenty four hours notice, I told her I didn't know twenty four hours earlier I'd be sick. I called in again today to get my schedule and she said I wasn't on it and that she wanted to speak with me and meet me because what happened yesterday was not acceptable. I told her that if the girl had said there was no replacement or if she had said she needed me to come in I would have. I am afraid this new boss is going to fire me, but I don't think that is legal. Is it? I really like this job despite the boss and pay, and I can't chance losing this job because I need it to carry me through until the fall. What should I do if she wants to fire me?
