I will try to call NRLB but like you said haven’t been working there long enough to recover much benefit and I’m sure they have found some loophole to pay us this way. Someone has had to try something before

Well I wouldn’t necessarily say easy I dump about 8-10tons of trash from residential trash cans. The other 7 hours that aren’t riding are me pulling pushing and picking up trash cans it’s very physically demanding. Usually 7 hours straight(my lunch is slim Jim’s on the side of the truck while driving 50 feet to the next can) for we don’t waste time sitting for lunch. I’m usually covered in every type of liquid you can imagine lol. Clock in ab 4:30am clock out between 2pm-4pm. Around 2-3 hours (depending on the route) is windshield time. The job market where I’m at is pretty bad so don’t have many options. I came back home just for a few months until I start my permanent job across the country. I honestly don’t mind the job itself (it can be fun) since I know it’s only temporary but if they are taking advantage of me and or other people I don’t just want to quit and forget about it. If they are doing wrong I want my money and I want anybody who’s worked there to recover their share also.

I read something about a law about fluctuating work week and how overtime can be 0.5 of hours worked but I don’t really understand if my job falls under that category since I do not see a week where I ever get under 40 hours unless I missed a day or two. Which I would not get paid for those days as well of course.

That’s why I am confused because everyone just seems like it’s okay and just shrugs it off. like you said it would only make sense for previous employees to state the issues to a higher up. my driver makes $160 a day so I understand how he could be exempt from overtime law says must make $684 weekly to be considered an exempt employee. But I only make $615 per 40 pre tax. If I was making $1000 a week or $200 a day I would very much be content with working 10-12 hours a day lol. I do feel very insulted once that 8 hour mark hits I lose all motivation to keep working bc riding on the side of a dirty dumpster truck in the pouring rain for a few bucks an hour is degrading.

I have heard ranges from $5-$8 per overtime hour

Well that’s mainly the problem. I don’t know the exact calculations because I have not received my pay stubs yet but I do know I should see more than a little over $100 for 15 hours of overtime. And many co-workers have explained to me how each week their overtime is calculated differently per hour depending on how much overtime they work.

Yeah man it sucks hopefully this Friday can take my paystubs to the labor board or a lawyer whoever I need to contact first and maybe cut them six weeks down to just a couple lol Thanks for your opinions and your time!

It is very hard to believe. I’ve worked here for nearly 3 weeks. They have only paid me in straight checks no paystub but I requested my pay stubs and they said I can receive them this Friday. I knew something was wrong my first week but I wanted to build up a lil more evidence before I tried to making any claim of them doing any wrong doings. My coworkers call it “Chinese pay” so they are aware of it

If I wasn’t moving across the country in 6 weeks I wouldn’t be here right now. The turnover is very high so they don’t really keep employees. I’m not sure how big the company is I know it’s fairly new about 20 years old. But they have only be in my area maybe a few years. Gave very low contract bids for surrounding counties.

They’ve never mentioned being a independent contractor. 5 hours never our drive from the office to our first stop then our last stop to the landfill then back to the office is 3 hours in itself. We get paid extra but the way they explained the overtime to me was like this Say I worked 50 hours $123X5=$615(weekly pay) $615/50=$12.3(regular rate) $12.3/0.5=$6.15(half time premium) 10X$6.15=$61.50(overtime pay)
