What is the name of your state? California
How's it going again everyone? Yesterday I posted on the wrongful termination article and started thinking about this late last night.
Again I work at a wireless accessory distribution company as a graphic artist. I design marketing and art material for retail stores.
Now when I was hired and asked the pay structure, my employer told me lets just pull out a number "3000/mo." Now that should mean I get paid 1500 on the 5th and 1500 on the 20th of every month. Well... I work hard and don't mess around I'm here every day for my full shift if not longer. On my paystub it says "SALARY." The problem I've been having is that sometimes my checks are slightly off... sometimes as much as a quarter. So instead of getting "1500"/mo I get "1499.74". So the question with this becomes what dictates an Exempt Salary employee vs a non-exempt employee vs an hourly employee. What I think she's doing is taking all the days of the month and dividing that into my salary to get the amt on the checks.
I understand the whole non-exempt you are able to collect overtime (of which I have seen none... and we do have a timecard). Who's out there that regulates this kind of thing.
My second question is if I stop punching in and out of the timeclock can they do anything to me? I stopped for a few weeks and the "Controller" yelled at me for it and asked me outright "are you trying to see what kind of a bitch I can be?"
So I need advice on what my options are. I know this company has OSHA regulation violations. They threatened to fire me for not signing the non-compete act. They do not pay at all for days off. Software licenses are non-existant. (In other words they don't have legit copies of anything from Windows, to Office, to Photoshop, etc).
Thanks for the advice. Hopefully there's something that can be done.
