RadioShack Yeah, so how about this ****...
The guy that owns the store I work at owns 2 others. He pays his managers **** pay, doesn't pay them for any more than 40 hours, although we do work more(especially myself.) Now, if the managers were paid salary, that would be perfectly legal, but we're not, we're paid hourly. I've had three part time people come and go withing the last 3 months, None of which stayed longer than 3 weeks. So that means that I've been working by me lonesome for practically 8 months now. I can't take a leak without worrying if someone is going to enter the store. Oh, and I can probably count on both hands and feet how many lunch breaks I have had in the past 8 months. One more thing, the owner sells microsoft software ILLEGALLY out of one of the other two stores. 
I know it sounds like I'm whining, but i'm really hoping someone can offer some incite as to what I should do... (other than find a new job, I've got an interview may 3)

Contact the Dept of Labor in your state about not getting paid overtime, but still getting paid as an hourly worker. I work in the accting dept at my comp. and there was some discrepency in worked OT that we couldn't prove that he "didn't" work. So the state sided with him automatically and we had to pay him his OT that was never paid. Some auditor came in and figured it out. The Ex-employee never proved that he did work those hours he said, but we could've prove that he didn't and that was good enough for the state to pay him. One guy got 8,000 and the other got 4,000. You should be paid for your OT and it is EXTREMELY against the law for him not to pay you.

Rep Power: 316 hey don't laugh about the name and address thing. Where I work, our job depends on that. It doesn't matter whether you're spending $1000 or $0.10, it all counts the same in the computer and to management. Every time a person refuses to give me their name and address or just laughs at me, I just want to kill them.
