Add Comment Question: During a first time staff meeting earlier in week violation of the law of employer not paying equal to min wages because we clean homes and we are gone for 5 to 6 hours a day and only paid for 2 or three for time in the house! So we checked are rights me and other employees before meeting and it said we are right cause if we are paid for only three houses at 12 a hour which is 36 for the day but at min wage it is 11 a hour at 5 hours starting from first house to last is 55 dollars big different. So we were told to inform employer first to get her to comply so we did at meeting nicely saying that it's the law and we will go to min wage per hour of service or she could up the hourly in homes to comply with the law of min wage and she got very upset. So we left it alone and three days later two of us were fired one of my co workers who brought this to are attention and myself who backed her up at meeting by saying it's the law that's it! Am at three months so she said she doesn't have to give me any reasons to bad. And the other employee she gave her a list of made up stuff about her I know this cause I work side by side with this lady. I don't know why the law say to tell employer first before filing cause now she fired us for telling the truth. And if we file now it looks as if it's revenge instead of the truth. Can we me or other lady fired take on any of these customers on our own if we didn't sign anything against that. Answer: You should call me. Not only are you owed wages, but you are also owed severance. There would be nothing preventing you from taking customers in this situation.
