Comment on What is wage theft exactly?
folkrav@lemmy.ca 5 months agoRetail truly is hell. A previous employer chopped off our time after closing, regardless of how much time it took to close the place. In the two years and some I spent there, including 9 months full time, they must have saved hundreds of hours in unpaid wages just in the 3 stores I worked at. That was a major chain, mind you…
Rest assured that when I was closing at 9PM by myself, by 9:01 I had signed off on the day’s deposit, and by 9:02 I was out of there.

Report them to the Department of Labor. Give as much info as you can and they will follow up in the investigation and litigation.
If all goes well, you don’t have to do much and when the investigation and litigation is done you’ll get paid out.

Oh, after they moved me from store to store then fired me, I did. I’m in Quebec, Canada, so it’s through the CNESST. They’re all too happy to take cases against this specific employer. Still, after 2 years of back and forth, a depression then career reorientation later, I had to resort to an undisclosed settlement.
