Have this happen to any of yall?
My men been having issues with the company he was working for because they are horrible with the pay on time they always do something dumb. On Christmas he was supposed to get christmas pay and if he goes to the other location that is 2 hours away he can pick up the week, he never got paid for holiday and the company shut down for the whole christmas week so he submited a complaint to the department of labor because they never said anything about the company being closed but they never got back to him. So the next week came and he kept going to work as normal, last friday on january 21, He had an issue with his son and told one of his "managers" that he was leaving. This is the same person he put on the report everything was okay until 5-6 the same day he receive a call from HR saying not to come back to work until they know what is going on ( He was confused because what He did for not to be able to go back), He go on monday (today) to talk to the boss and aparently He was terminated even tho I notify the manager and me was recorded on camera talking to him. The boss told him it doesn't matter you on camera because I don't know what you telling him but the person that is the manager said he didn't told him nothing. But what gets me is the manager and the HR person that call him are both on the claim with the department of labor so he contact a lawyer and was told by the lawyer that it doesn't matter if you are the best employee by being a contract employee the job have the right to terminate you any time and for no reason the same way you can walk out of your job at any time for no reason. Is super crazy to me because if it is like that then what is we doing? Are we making the rich more rich and diying for nothing? Does life even worth working because this don't feel right and the crazy part is is not the first time he gets hired with a contract and just get terminated and unable to do anything. #termination #management #jobsearch #advice #intervi #interview #remote #workfromhome
So this job search advice thing is a waste of time for me
We are employees at will. You can walk out anytime and the company can let you go at any time as well .
So to sum it up he works at two different locations. But since he was working at location 2 he did not collect holiday pay from location 1 and he did not check when the holiday hours were for that office. Judging that it was not in his paypacket I will assume that this was an under the table bonus and not an official one that would show up in his paycheck. If it was to be in his paycheck then he should have contacted the payroll rep for the office citing a mispayment. And he should have been doing this at least 2 time per week until it is resolved. Did he record himself asking & getting confirmation for his leaving early for a family emergency from his manager? Did he call whomever sets his schedule to notify them that there was an emergency and he needed to take a few hours? What is the company polcy for leaving early for emergencies? If his holiday bonus is legal and he did not receive it He needs to get the reason in WRITTING as to why. He also needs to have location 2 give him written & dated information on his working AT THAT LOCATION during the time the bonus was passed out. He also should ask other employees if & when & how they received theirs. He should go to the labor board and talk with them and also with unemployment. If he violated the contract he might be SOL, but he might be able to at least get his bonus pay.
I know and of course now I totally get it but is just crazy to me now the story I saw of the person that got terminated after 25 years at burger king and all he got was a bag of candy makes sence why. Is just sad the life we live on.
Unfortunately most states are an AT WILL state meaning they can terminate anytime they want. Or you can leave anytime you want. But if he's under a contract then legally that's a breach in contract. Contracts are suppose to be binding and I think people fell to look at that. Legally you can sue because I'm sure there are clauses that were broken, depending if there were any. I always tell people to read the fine print. Go over the contract. I'm sure there's some loop holes in there. You just have to know where to look.
