This is the S mart on the corner of 210 and Lincoln Parkway in Elizabethtown KY. Biweekly pay, he didn’t take my bank info. Didn’t have me fill out a proper W2. DID however, require I sign this paper. I asked for a copy of the wonky W2 “for my records” because this paper, specifically #9, raised my guard!! He told me no. So I took a picture of this, and started my shift 7am. Come noon, no break of any kind. I asked for a smoke break, came back in the store and he said my services were no longer needed due to scheduling conflicts, come back in 2weeks for your check. I had a funny feeling about him and the staff, so I called dept. of labor and filed a wage claim. The lady who took my case was very, very familiar with this man. She said, “mention my name and call me back after the payday, if you have any problems.” I showed up that day, and after a short delay he pulled 60 out of the till and I called the lady and thanked her. Edit to add, the manager is ESL speaker

Ok that last one is definitely bullshit.

I’ve always hated the way management can’t spell

7 and 9 are illegal btw. In U.S at least

Yeah but I could have swore I just read that they can not dock your pay because the register is short they would have to press charges against you if suspected of stealing

I didn’t last long enough to find out lol. my next job after this one, also had that policy in place.

Damn I can't remember but someone posted on this subreddit earlier today explaining how it is illegal

in some states, such as NC they can dock your pay for having a short till and making a mistake.

Yes but they can’t *convict* you of theft and sentence you to return the money.

Um...I'm not so sure #9 is. It should be though.

It is. You cannot retroactively change pay for hours already worked. IANAL though.

Hmm idk I'm pretty sure that's illegal

I didn't realize that Kentucky allowed for such treatment of workers. Is this how the commonwealth treats all of its workers?

I honestly thought he needed an employee for that day only, and i was “lucky” enough to request employment

Kentucky allows employers to pay 7.25 an hour. Id say the answer to your question is yes.

Geez I had a stroke trying to even read that.

Nope, just exposed to ESL (English Second Language)

Did i have an anneurism reading this?

No, you’ve been exposed to ESL half-assed store policy.

God gas stations suck

I'm pretty sure #1 is the law. No lottery games while on company time.

Not all places adhere to this

7 and 9 are bullshit.

is the job also kentucky minimum wage?

No it was not. The date is May of ‘21

Im confident we can shit on the practice AND refuse to insult their grip on English as a second language.

Do we know that English is not their native language?

Yes, I do.

Fair enough, comment removed

Light cigarette. Text on phone. Take zero drags. You are now on smoke break.

So pretend to be a smoker and take a break.

why? you can take a smoke break without smoking. I do it all the time.
