What is the name of your state? Texas
I worked for a small construction company (about 20 employees) and I live about 60 miles from our office. Myself and 1 other guy work out of our homes since it's so far to drive to our office, and all the work we do is close to our homes, this is at the company's blessing. Well, for a long time now our office can't seem to get our paychecks to us on payday, or at least on a regular basis. We are paid every week on Friday, and our paychecks some times shows up and some times they don't show up till Monday and so on. The rest of the companys employees are given their checks on Friday, but ours are mailed regular first class. I have always been vocal about this and how unfair this is. My employer started having them Fed-exed a couple of monthes ago, and that worked as long as they were taken to Fed-ex on Thursday, which didn't always happen We are back to the mail again, and again they didn't show up as promissed. I called my boss on Friday and complained to him again about the problem, and this time he said since I can't get along with him on this issue then I need to find another job. So he fires me because I want my paycheck on Fridays like everyone else in the company gets. This is so unfair, and I have tried to work with them on this but he doesn't really care when we get paid, it's put up or shut up. Can he do this? Thanks in advance.
