#Wage Law

[monsieurenjlolras]

you've heard of "quiet quitting," now I'd like to introduce you to the next level, The French Work Ethic:

Do exactly what you're paid for and nothing more

Absolutely refuse to be available to contact when you're off the clock

Never prioritize work over your own health, wellbeing, or family because that would be insane, it's just a job.

Have a little glass of wine

Take as long as you feel like for lunch

Deeply understand that work doesn't matter

Make sure your boss knows they're always your second priority ❤️

SCOTUS Takes a Pass on “Gap Time” Dispute

SCOTUS Takes a Pass on “Gap Time” Dispute

It’s two months into argument season at the Supreme Court, and we’re always keeping our fingers crossed that the justices will take up a wage and hour issue and clear up some ambiguities in the law or a circuit split. Top billing this SCOTUS term goes to Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. v. Hewitt, in which the Court will address whether a supervisor who earned more than $200,000 a year but was…

no ai generated content will ever compare to the absolutely cartoonishly evil plot to cut down trees to prevent workers from striking to get livable wage.

Friendly reminder that you can talk about your wage or salary with coworkers, and if your work prohibits or discourages this, they are breaking federal law.

Relevant to my new job 🙃

i prefer happy ending bbc merlin where morgana becomes court sorceress and arthur becomes king and merlin remains as his servant (until they eventually marry) and lancelot lives and he and gwen marry but that damn game of thrones (?? probably idk) audio on tiktok that goes “i mean to fight this war and win it.” “good. to war then.” keeps giving me visions of king arthur of camelot on the verge of war with other kingdoms and his powerful court sorcerer merlin standing by his throne. arthur declares that he wishes to go to war and merlin (eager to bring about the united albion the prophecies speak of) supports arthur immediately and declares they’re going to war

Cops only exist to enforce laws that, if broken, would be a blue-collar crime. They exist for shoplifting, murder, illegal drug use, protests, an in-progress robbery, and more extreme cases of domestic violence, you get the picture. This service is paid for by taxes, and it's supposedly free to all citizens, but we all know that POC and other minorities fear calling the police.

Police exist to enforce crime associated with the working class. White-collar crime doesn't involve the police. You have to enforce that yourself and pay hundreds to thousands of dollars for a lawyer. You can be put in physical danger at your job, but the police do not handle that. They handle when you are put in physical danger at home, and that's even if the police always gave a shit and did their jobs correctly.

The police are not there to enforce all law equally, they are there to enforce laws that are broken by the marginalized. They are not there for you being denied housing, fired from work, hurt on the job, assaulted by your employer, going unpaid for your work, etc. They do not target the upper classes, that is not in their job description.

Cops exist and have always existed to maintain the current power structure. This is one of the reasons why the system needs to be removed entirely.

“Independent Contractor” My Ass: How to Stop Wage Theft Through Worker Misclassification

Every year, wage theft robs millions of American workers of billions of dollars—and worker misclassification is one of its most widespread, evil forms.

There are crystal-clear guidelines on the difference between independent contractors and employees. And a lot of employers steal from their workers by ignoring them. Today, I’m going to break the differences down for you. See if you recognize yourself, a friend, or a family member in these wage-theft-vulnerable positions.

If you are in a misclassification situation, your employer has stolen your wages. But there’s good news! You have recourse to get my two favorite things: money and justice! You can seek tax reimbursements, backpay, unpaid overtime, worker’s compensation benefits, and more for the years you were misclassified. And you can report your exploitative employer and get them into a wet mess of trouble.

Reminder that in the United States, your right to discuss wages is protected by the law. It is unlawful for your employer, boss, or managers to prohibit you, specifically, from talking about your wages.

Discussing wages is crucial to knowing if your labour is being compensated correctly. Higher-ups do not want you to discuss wages because you may find out that your labour is not being monetarily compensated for. Talk about your wages

Read the National Labor Relations Board article here, talk about your wages with fellow workers.

Supreme Court Takes Up FLSA High Earners Exemption

Supreme Court Takes Up FLSA High Earners Exemption

On October 12, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case that considers whether a supervisor who earned over $200,000 annually may still be eligible for overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The case centers on the interpretation of the regulatory scheme surrounding highly compensated employees and their exemption status under the FLSA. The Plaintiff in the…

While the rest of the US workforce makes at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25, Americans below 20 years of age can be paid as low as $4.25 for the first three months of their job under US labor law. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) allows young workers to be paid below minimum wage—also known as a “subminimum wage” or “youth opportunity wage”—on a temporary basis. In D.C. and nine states including Washington, Illinois, and New Hampshire, employers can pay young workers subminimum wages permanently under state laws, according to a report from the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) published Jan. 8.
