If I could give no stars I would I told the lady I had to quit my job because a coworker tired to physically attack me and I fear for my life I told my GM about the girl violent behavior but nothing wasn’t done about it then the coworker tired to physically attack me still the mangers still didn’t do nothing about her violent behavior so I quit because I fear for my life but my managers had us sign a paper last year that if you quit and don’t give two weeks notice they drop your pay to 7.25 I understand I signed a paper but why take pay away from me when I didn’t quit on my on that employee violent behavior towards me made me quit now you can’t go to a work place without being attacked for no reason it just isn’t fair that you have to take abuse at work and the abuser is being treated as the victim it makes no sense you can’t make money for your family that the devil have to be in the mix

I want to thank the labor board this morning for helping me get my hard earned money that was getting took from me from a company i was working for. For their purposes. I explained to the labor board how I was done they told me they're not allowed to do that so I called my old company and let them know the L.B. said they gave me my money but still had to give them some money just to get my money

I would never do business in this state. The labor secretary just said that COVID poses no extra required protections to workers. She is retiring of course. No to any business that accepts this position.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Realmjumper | Sep 11, 2021

Read the contract you signed to find the answer, if an employer has a business need to have you on a certain time period it may be blacked out. It goes back to company policy and the black out dates.

NC is a right to fire state. Employees don't need a reason to let you go. Better to let it go and find another job.

SmileyBoii Gaming | Sep 12, 2018
Justin George | Sep 12, 2018

It is a right to work state. You don't have to give a notice just like they don't have to let you work out your last 2 weeks. Sorry bro.

My employer is taking lunch breaks out of my overtime is this legal also when I don't go to my 30 min lunch and work through lunch H.R goes in and edits my time and puts down that I did take a lunch is this legal

Alex Pinon | Sep 12, 2018
MrSbfan2000 | Sep 12, 2018

You by law have to take a lunch. Your employer cant ask you to work through it and you cant choose to work through it. They are not allowed to edit your time however. If they have an issue with your time they have to discuss it you you before modifying it.

Can an employer do random searches of employee vehicles without probable cause?

bobby boone | Sep 12, 2019
MrSbfan2000 | Sep 12, 2019

I have recently been told that I have to stand at work. I have been there for over 15 years and have always been able to sit. I am a 62 year old female with arthritis in both knees, and spinal stenosis, arthritis in my back. Can they make me

Karen Gregory | Sep 12, 2019
MrSbfan2000 | Sep 12, 2019

Get a note from you doctor stating that you need to sit due to your medical condition. Your employer has to make reasonable accommodation for you. What is reasonable of not is all dependant on what you do.

I worked 40hrs one week and under 40hrs. I get paid bi-weekly. When I go to look at my time card, I see that my boss has been taking 30 min off of each day during the overtime week and does not take 30 min off during the week with no overtime

Valerie Nunn | Sep 12, 2019
MrSbfan2000 | Sep 12, 2019

Yikes....that's a mess. You are required to take a 30min lunch. They cant force you to work through it and you cant choose to work through it. If that is the 30minutes he is taking out then that is legal. However, he has to be consistent. Cant just take it from you to get your overtime down.
