"A recent survey of New York City fast-food workers found that 84 percent of them had experienced wage theft — the withholding of pay for work-related time for which they should be compensated. For example, workers may have to stay late after their shift ends or show up before it starts to count a register but their employers do not pay them for that time. Or bosses may take money out of workers' paychecks for work-related expenses or fees that were not disclosed to the worker at hiring. Or workers may not get access to promised breaks or may be required to work overtime without compensation. These abuses are particularly pernicious because low-wage workers typically do not have the time or resources to challenge their bosses legally."

ReplyDeleteUnfortunatelly people feel weakness in other people, and though it's mean they use this in their favour. Still there is always a way out, in the first turn you should respect yourself and not allow the wage theft. You can change your job and use
ReplyDeletefinancial options for bad credit for example, but going on working you automatically agree to the situation and it will continue the same way. If still to to challenge the boss legally you can not only help yourself, but your coowokers as well.
