Definitely. I'm sure we will. Thank you Madeline, you have been very helpful!

And if i wanted them in deep doo-doo I would have called the Labor Board already...

Im not trying to make anyone feel sorry for me. I just was looking for some help. I am fresh to the new world and there isn't anyone I could look to in my personal circle who could help me with this situation so I came to a spot where I thought others would offer me good advice. I didn't know i...

I feel like I could bear it out until probably about 8 and a half months. Luckily, the father and I have been together 2 years and have seen many trials that have only helped to bring us closer. He is quite a bit older than me and has a lot more financial stability. I would definitely not be...

Thanks, that is helpful.

I understand they have a lot of expenses to pay. However, they own 4 businesses, so their personal bills are easily covered. Again, not my concern, but it gives you a feel for what kind of employers they are... Distant, and not very respectful to employees. Since I began working here, I have...

When I ask about my pay, should I tell them I am expecting? Or should I wait a while? I'm worried they would fire me.

Thank you, that is very encouraging!! I did actually just receive a call for a job opportunity at yet another restaurant as a hostess part time. If I went that direction again, I'd have to find another part time job as well. I am trying to weigh out the pros and cons of each choice. I hope...

Yes, I have received it. So far they have not provided any information on my checks about deductions, except for Social Security and Medicare. In the information I looked up regarding wage laws, it says that even if paid on salary that employers must abide by the minimum wage law of 8 per hr...

As I have said previously, I have done my research as far as the wage laws in my state pertaining to the inn-keeping business. California wage order 5. I am worried about going to the authorities so soon because I want to have another job lined up before I do so. My managers are already pretty...

Actually they're 137. My math is bad too. Haha. My employers notified me and my coworker that it takes 1,000 each month to keep the doors open... It is in the foothills of the sierra nevadas in Apple hill country. Not in sf.

This is where I'm confused. They had me fill out a w-4, and I always claim 0. So I am not sure why it doesn't say how much is being withheld on my paycheck. My employers have not shown me any proof of deductions for rent either. Also, as I have been worried to mention, as it did not seem...

As for the other questions: - do I get food? No - what are my duties? Reservations, check-ins, check-outs, breakfast, room and bathroom cleaning, laundry, dishes, dusting, polishing, phone calls, sweeping, mopping, watering flowers, leaf-blowing, etc. - do I get benefits? No benefits. - are...

When I talked to the employee hotline guy (he's sf-based and also a lawyer so he knows what he's talking about), that was the first question I asked. Am I considered an independent contractor? He said it did not apply to me. I should give him a call again...

Thank you everyone. I do agree with the cheap labor part. The other lady who works here got her paycheck cut in half as soon as I started working and before she got this job, she was living in a homeless camp. They pretty much gave me the job on the spot without much of an interview. I do make...
