Are you going back to McDonalds ?
Anyhow, Indiana must have a state income tax cause that doesn't look like much.
One of my hourly manager who doesn't make much, $7.50/hr routinely bring home $300+ per week.
You could be back working for Mcdonalds and make more than what you make now.

Radio doesn't pay well.
Look, it's not about what a person makes. Salary should not be a "yard stick" to determine where they stand in life. Sadly, too many people use it as a measurement. I think what needs to be realized is that Chaotic is probably quite happy with the work he's doing. That is the most important part.
I know plenty of people who are making in excess of $100K per year ---- and are very miserable.
If people were happy in their current line of work, the recent CNN poll would not have revealed 83% of people would change jobs - if given the chance due to the fact that they are miserable where they are currently working - and I suspect also a lot of that is people are mis-matched in positions or careers that are not right for them.
Thanks for reading.
And its silly for the company to call it comp days.
What the hell are comp days if you don't get paid for them.
Theres another term for unpaid leaves....."days off"

I had a job like that. The project I was working on wasn't allowed any overtime so any overtime I worked counted towards time off. I think I got around 5 days off from that. It wasn't too bad a deal, but the money would've been nicer.

No, I pretty much dislike the job.
You should tell him you're pissed off and the only thing that's stopping you is the welfare of the other employees.Originally posted by: Chaotic42
I'm not going to do anything. I don't think I could prove it, it's only $1000, they probably don't have an extra $1000, they might go under if I go after them, then like 10 people would lose their jobs.
I just wanted to vent.
THEN kick his ass.
On a related topic I have a question.
I have a friend who works for a computer store doing thier tech work. when he started thier they told him since he was in school he would work 10 hours a week for $150 ever two weeks. Over time this 10 hours has grown to 30ish hours per week with no raise in pay. so now he's basically working for 2.50hr. is this legal? He is under salery but still this has to break some laws. I'm trying to convince him to turn them into the labor board or at least threaten too if he isn't given a fair raise.

You know, I think you do a lot. I think you could be doing a lot better for yourself.
Make sure you make some air check tapes (or whatever they're called) before you leave.
I think you've got a decent resume going on there, but you're kind of down on yourself. Break free, man!
Legally, once they have received notice they can ask you to leave but they would have to pay you through your notice. However, since your boss ignores all the other wage and hour laws, it's unlikely that he'll comply with that too.
Sorry you worked for such a butt.

I think you are too emotionally attached to this employer. It's good to have a back up plan, but really, if your move doesn't work out, I don't think you should go back to this place.
Tell yourself, "I'm better than this."
You are entitled to overtime pay according to Federal Law. Don't let them take advantage of this situation.
you should be able to take them to court and win easily, even recouping attorney costs. but of course I'm not a lawyer, I just play one here.
