When it comes to the rules and laws regarding your workplace they can be a bit confusing, sometimes vague and sometimes you just don’t even know what you can or can’t do.
There are lots of myths or misinformation surrounding your superior’s rights and attributions and we thought that you should know what they can say or do to you, as their employee.
Nowadays, people are being mistreated at their job, they are not informed properly regarding their rights and their job description which can and most of the time result in a messy situation.
And we are not saying your boss is mistreating you or taking advantage of your misinformation, but we think it will be useful to know some things.

Are all these laws applicable to wage & salaried people?
Hello, my name is Joseph.
I don’t know how to really put this, but I’ll do my best. I was released or let go from this automotive dealership after being employeed there for a little over three years. I was promoted to a Lead position within my first year, then COVID-19 hit. Out of 20 sum auto Technicians, I was 1 of 4 selected to work during the COVID-19 Shut Down.
Shortly after everyone was given the green light to come back to work, I was informed that we lost our Service Manager,(my immediate supervisor).
So, trying to make it short as possible. In the three years working there, I’ve been through, and worked under, I believe it’s like 6 or 7 different managers. Every single one of them handed/gave my position and higher pay to another Technician with me, finding out from other Technicians. The last one was the slap in the face. That Manager was already employed there as the Assistant Manager and aware of everything and everyone’s work station and duties. Management was well aware of my personal issues I was going through. Custody battle with my 1st ex-wife, process of 2nd divorce(losing everything, including my vehicle for work and visitation with my kids). That Manager held a mandatory crew meeting during all of that. That’s where and when I lost my position again, but this time to a 19 year old girl, who he, my former manager, brought in from another dealership he came from. Not only did she take my job from me she recieved pay well passed what I was given. I I formed Management about her and another tech, smoking Marijuana on company grounds during their breaks. If I. Not mistaken, was reported by customer(s), too.
Was he in the WRONG, for letting go like that? Oh, and never received my last paycheck also, till this day.
My company recently announced an across the board raise to reflect the economic growth since Covid 19. I have been employed by this hospital 18 + yrs. I was told I wouldn’t be eligible because of absenteeism. My yearly evaluation is in April. Is this common practice? To withhold economic recovery benefits for diciplinary reasons? I feel like I’ve been duped
