So i just got a new job yesterday and i dont get payed...

I lost my job as a waiter last month, i got layed off. So yesterday i started a job at a cold cuts sandwich store. It's mostly making bubble tea, sandwiches, and bakery goods. I have to drive 20 minutes to get there and put quarters in the meter for parking not to mention gas. So yesterday i didn't get paid, today i didn't get paid. I asked him when will the pay start and he said when your training is over and your good at the job. Now obviously i'm not going to be as fast as the other employees because i just started. I don't know where everything is placed and i'm just not as good as the manager. So i go in again tommorow and on saturday. I doubt i'll get paid tommorow and i don't know about saturday. Should i say something to the manager tommorow or just keep quiet. thanks for any advice

Don't paychecks come at the end of the week/month?

Say something, he has to pay for for training and isn't $7 less than minimum where you are?

Pay is typically bi-weekly (or every 2 weeks) but if you started work on a pay week, then your first pay check will take 3 weeks to get.

What on Earth job doesn't start to pay you until you're out of training? I've never heard of such a thing.

Also, what state do you live in? I'm curious as well whether that's minimum wage or what.

Well then you're getting doubly screwed, because minimum wage in New York (and, in fact, the federal minimum wage) is $7.25. In other words, even if the unpaid training is lawful, it is still illegal for you to be paid that little. I think you and your boss better have a chat.

Dude, minimum wage in New York is $7.25 as of last year I believe. You are getting paid below minimum AND doing hands on WORK for free. You are getting ripped royally here, if he decides to fire you or not let you work there bring this up. This is illegal and he will get into some trouble here. If you didn't sign a contract saying otherwise (assuming you are 18, if not, then you are not legally bound by this contract) then this is illegal.

The federal minimum wage for covered nonexempt employees is $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009.

Where in the world are you?

Where I live that is illegal.

If it was not ensured that you understood what the compensation would be when you accepted the job offer, this place of employment is sounding sketchier by the minute.

Is there nowhere else you can work?

Usually paychecks come at the end of the week on a day designated by the company or they come every two weeks.

[QUOTE="mattbbpl"]I'm pretty sure that's illegal.BranKetra

so you would've been a slave for them for 2 weeks if you stayed?

You should work out a contract with the manager containing: How many hours of work you are entitled during a month, what your sallary is without and with overtime and so on... then you check monthly that you've been paid the sallary you agreed on in the contact. And learning your job, is part of your job, so I see no reason you should not be paid.

Hey TC. In real life, people have to EARN their money.

You're not going to get paid for doing jack ****, so stop bugging your employers to give you a paycheck that you didn't earn.

So you get payed every day :?

You get paid over a period of time based on how many hours you've worked. If the paycheck is monthly, you get paid for the amount of hours you've worked that month. You aren't supposed to get paid every hour on the hour.

i wasn't saying that....obviously u dont get paid everyday on the hour, but once a month or once in 2-3 weeks. I was complaining about not getting paid for training, the hours training don't count towards the pay check

Oh okay. I misunderstood. Carry on. :P

I just went through the same thing at a local cafe, 3/4 of my shifts so far were unpaid 'training' shifts. I considered it more like tryouts than training. I was I the 5th person they tried, so in total they got close to 60 hours of free labour. Pretty ridiculous and I'm sure very illegal, but my advice is just keep your head down and power through, or start looking for another job.
