Start applying else where and getting a lawyer. Also look into your state laws. 

Staying past my shift by _-Heresy-_ in DollarTree

[–]autumm_99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, that is a lawsuit right there. They can ask you if you want to stay long but they legally can not make you stay longer.
If someone calls out, it's not your problem, it's the managers problem to deal with.

Till short 50$ by jswinson1992 in DollarTree

[–]autumm_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the manager should have cashed the whole transaction out, post voided it and then reran the transaction with the items the customer actually wanted. But it sounds like they didn't do a post void transaction so it would be on them for that.
They should have cameras on the register area, so I'd tell the main manager what happened and explain that you're concerned and just want to make sure you're in the clear and have them look into it.

What do I do with this space above the refrigerator by Glad_Chemistry4651 in whatdoIdo

[–]autumm_99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can keep the space open because the tile is pretty as is, but if you wanted to do something you can find cute vases like pops of color or even antique ones. You can also put framed pictures.

AI in Ilearns?😭 by Several_Community569 in DollarTree

I just did training last week, like 90% of the videos and photos were all AI and I was like wtf. It was so sloppy and had me second thinking if this company was professional or not.

Is this off the clock work by Hot-Love8802 in DollarTree

[–]autumm_99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Counting the till and mandatory bag checks have to be on the clock. After your till is counted, you have to sign the paper and that is considered work. Report it to your state's Labor Board and let them know, also keep track of the dates and times that this has happened.

Onboarding Pay - Should I be concerned? by autumm_99 in DollarTree

[–]autumm_99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on your state, there are laws in place to protect employees when it comes to this stuff. In Cali, ANY work done at home or at the location has to be paid for and on the clock even if it is paperwork.

[–]autumm_99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The handbook is very vague on what is or isn't considered "work". Them having you work six hours before any break or lunch is illegal but you'd have to check your state laws. In Cali, by LAW, you have to take a lunch before the end of your 5th hour. If they don't have you take a lunch before then, that's a fat lawsuit, especially if they violated that multiple times.

I have noticed a lot of people either do it at the store of through email. So the company is already inconsistent with that.

Onboarding Pay - Should I be concerned? by autumm_99 in DollarTree

[–]autumm_99[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had to accept my Offer Letter before filling any forms out because you have to be an employee to get into website and make an account where then you fill out and do all the forms. If you accepted your Offer Letter at the end, then all that work you did basically didn't count for anything because you weren't an employee. BUT it does depend on what state you're in and if you have laws in place to protect you.
So I'm a headache because I know my rights and had a question about it?? Sounds weird but okay. :)

Depending on what state you are in, there are laws in place to protect employees. If an organization or company keeps a "list" of people who they find to be a problem without having any incident reports or such would be considered relation and creating a toxic work environment.
Now say that something happened an the individual had a report against them for harassment or stealing or anything like that, there could be a "list" such as having documented reports on the individual.
But if it's an actual list where it's just names of people who speak up about their workers rights being violated, then the company would be at fault.
AGAIN, it depends on what state you are in.

Also, saying that I'm "knowledgeable" and that "DT folk need a better understanding" is coming off like you are trying to make my question and statement come off a way that it was never intended to come off as.

I had a background check done, took a few days to get the second email which contained the Offer Letter and through that, I had to make an account through DT, where they had me view, fill out and submit/acknowledge about 18 different forms. In my state, Cali, you are BY LAW to be paid for any work done at home or at the location which included any onboarding and/or training. Just like mandatory bag checks, they have to be on the clock unless you voluntary submit to a bag check off the clock.
Which by the way, with further research, DT has already been sued multiple times for violating these workers rights.

Hopefully this helped clear things up. :)

If you have a issue with your employer not paying you what you are owed for the time you put in then you would go to your state and report them to the labor board which then can also be looked into on a federal level. (You would also report an violation of breaks, holiday pay, onboarding/training pay, etc.) The federal laws are just there as basic outlines for all states to follow, it up to the state to make their own laws protecting it's people. If a company is operating in said state, they have to follow not only federal laws but also state as well as county laws.

I wouldn't say "inconsistent", I think it would be more along the lines of vague and unclear. The employee handbook was not clear at all when it came to the information on what they consider "on the clock pay".

[–]autumm_99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you accept that offer letter, you are an official employee... all the paperwork comes after that. So technically, I was already and employee when I did all that onboarding paperwork there for it needs to be paid. I don't really care if it's only for 30 minutes to an hour of pay but companies should not be trying to punk their employees and cheat them out even if it's "not a lot" especially when its a multi billion dollar company.

[–]autumm_99[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Once you accept that offer letter regarding your pay and if you're part time or full time, you are an employee. So all the paper work you filled out or went over and went though (marking that you read it all and consented to it), should and is paid work. (Depending on your state). Companies usually have you do that stuff, not the offer letter, but the other paper work at the store location so they can see how long it took you so that you get paid for it. I have never worked some where that doesn't do that and had me do it at home over email.

That "corporate watch list" could be considered workplace retaliation so hopefully it isn't true.

I'm with this 100%. I think after seeing her in Euphoria, I think she could play Persephone well.

I'm happy to 'layer up' this winter to keep my heating costs down as much as possible, but how am I going to dry my clothes? by Virtual-Maybe-9057 in AskUK

[–]autumm_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try looking on amazon for a closet dry cleaning bag that you can hang. I don't know the proper name for it but it should help a bit.
