I just learned my company was underpaying many employees, including me.
Hourly employee
NYS
I learned my company was underpaying employees. This issue ended about 10 years ago (with company ~22 years)
- 1.25 pay OT for Saturday work (opposed to 1.50)
- We were working 10 hours a day, straight pay, no OT
- We were told we could not leave for lunch in satellite locations and we had enough down time to eat at our desk
- if we left early for example, I left at 3:30, I would get docked 2 hours (I technically worked 8 hours tot hat point).
is there anything that can be done now?
I learned all of this due to a lawsuit from warehouse employees a few years back.
