The maintenence guys at work. The filter/grease trap thing under the dishwashing machine is overflowing badly, in that at one point when I hadn't run it in over an hour and it still flooded most of the room. When someone finally came, he took a look, and said I should wait half an hour and he'd be back to look again.
Probably more than half an hour later, he comes back, asks me to run a load of dishes through. Right before running the machine, I point out to him directly that it will overflow, since the sink used to rinse off the dishes before sending them into the dishwasher also drains into the same trap, and I had just done several dishes. He tells me to run it anyway. A minute later, I'm going to get the mop to clean up the mess(again).
He calls in another guy, who looks at the machine for awhile. Then they start dismantling the drainage system. Since I had nothing else to do for the day other than the dishes that had yet to be cleaned, I went home tired, hot, and probably smelling faintly of raw sewage for having been in the same room.
Fairly sure its federal law. If you are not salaried, you must be paid for all the time you work. If you ARE salaried, you can not be forced to work more than 40 hours a week.
Yeah, and if you call them out on it then you get a couple weeks of reasonable hours before they fire you for not getting enough work done.
Salaries basically exist so companies can give workers more than 40 hours worth of work and only pay them for 40.
That's still illegal. I'm not sure if it's state or federal, but if you work more than 40 hours, they are required to pay you time and a half for the extra time.
