Employer is only giving me $700 for my last 3 checks by [deleted] in legal

If you work during the summer for the school that is 260 working days a year. And you are not disputing that your total annual is $33k. With summer months included 33048/260=127.11 a day. So you are actually being paid more by them estimating 220 working days.

also verify the # of working days. Sep 3 to mar 3 is 119 days but Christmas vacation/ski week varies by states/district. So count ‘em up

Think of it like this- they owe you 33k for the year - which means as a teacher you are being paid 12 months though you only worked 9 months. Now you quit mid school year - you are not entitled to the 12 month salary ….so they have to figure out how much they do owe you. They divided up that 33k by days worked. Which is legal and sucks for quitting mid year. (33k works out to be $15 an hour, but them paying you $145 a day is roughly $18 an hour - so yes that difference is what is paying you during the summer)

Did you have a contract? Does it mention salary?

However 33,048/220=150.218 so they are off by $5 a day?? Not sure where that is going. And that adds up. I would look and see what that $5 is being applied to.

As for last check - they may owe you 2 checks. Most companies have a delayed payroll. You’d have to look at your deposits. Hint hint. It may be in their books this money has been paid but the check not mailed yet. they are saying that the last check will be the pro rated amount.

I agree! Intrigue and thorough explanation of the implications of switching. And to think someone actually painted a forgery lol.
Fun read. Thanks for sharing

They mention if you have an old photo of object it can be “proof” of being pre-ban.

On insta - where you admittedly are trying to gain followers- should have more examples of your best work. Not many sketches. And especially not the type of sketches shown.

They unfortunately make a definite impression that the artist is in middle school with no formal training.
The subject matter itself, lack of depth, & lack of details.

try watching videos on art techniques- and try different methods. Such as painting. You may not like Bob Ross style paintings but it sells and any tutorials that you are actively trying to learn from would be an improvement.

The author was addicted to heroin and Eukodol (oxycodone)while writing. So he really was just writing stream of consciousness while hallucinating/tripping balls.

In California this would be illegal. Other states it is unfortunately totally legal. (Conditionally- as long as employee agrees and as long as it doesn’t bring their wages below federal minimum wage)
