Advice PLEASE

I'm sorry that this place has continued treating you so unfairly.

And yes, once checks are received and deposited, continue on with contacting the appropriate people.



Were you guys recruited from school? If so, make sure the schools know about all of this! I can't imagine they would appreciate knowing how their graduates are being treated.

I agree with everyone else. Get your money and contact your state's labor board.

When I was 19, I worked at a place that refused to pay for time off they said I had garnered (I was told I had vacation hours, so I took them and then they refused to pay me saying I didn't have the hours after all). They also would'nt pay people for overtime (they would add overtime hours to the next week's hours to avoid paying overtime). I went to the state for assistance to get my time off pay. Luckily I had everything in writing-shortly thereafter I got my money. I also refused to comply with their overtime scam. The business went belly up a few years later.

I'm sorry you had to go through all of this and hope your new job is infinitely better.

Once you have all the money, call the Department of Labor anyway. If the threat of a call got them to act, they KNOW they are violating Fair Labor regs.

Agreed
