Since when can a company refuse to pay you for actively working with IT to troubleshoot for equipment that keeps you from working? This is the second time i have had issues with my equipment and have been told the company only pays 1 hour for outage. I am so engraged and i really want to take legal action. Upon quitting and receiving unemployment. Any advice?
So i have worked for optum for about 3 years and they have done me wrong with wages. I have had issues with my equipment that required me to troubleshoot multiple days with IT. my supervisor said optum only pays 1 hour for outage and im pretty much screwed for the rest of the time. I am ao uneasy about this because per law, you have to be paid for any hours you are on standby or working to troubleshoot. I am so over this company for so many reasons but this has pushed me to the edge. Any advice
