IMy boss hasn't paid me fairly...please help!?
Find answers to your legal question.

I have worked in the capacity of General Manager for a restaurant since December 17, 2007. I recently left my job with no notice. My 2 week pay period rate was $1200.00 for working 40 hours, 9-5 Monday thru Friday.( @ 29,000 annually) I recently put in several hours overtime,up t0 24 in a pay period and was in the process of changing my schedule at the owners request to work more hours and have a pay rate upgrade to $42,000 per year. I quit before the end of the pay period but worked 11 days of it at 78 hours. My boss is now paying me based on a daily rate saying I didn't finish the remaining 4 days of the pay period. Is he correct? The check he issued to me is less than one week of $600but I worked a full week plus 3 and a half days. Any suggestions? I live in Texas

raichasays	It sounds like you were exempt from the overtime pay requirements because you were a manager. Generally an exempt employee cannot apply overtime hours from a previous day to the days they didn't work at all. I think your boss may be right, but you should contact the Texas labor board for more info.

tikitiki	Go to the Department of Labor's website, and file a complaint with them. I did that years ago with 2 employers that screwed me on a paycheck, and got my money. You'll have to write out everything, and provide any proof you have, then the company has a chance to respond. If you're correct, they'll tell them they have to pay.

wizjp	I think you are at his mercy; the "In the process" may be a joker; but I'd take the whole mess to the NAtional LAbor Relations Board and let them take a look; that is what they do.

SuziiQ	Go to the EEOC or the TX workforce commission You can file a complaint with them
