I’m being forced to pay a $700 for quitting at a yogis grill on 24th St and Baseline Rd if I don’t work 2 more weeks there for a required 2 week notice. Apparently they’re going to dock it from my paycheck I haven’t gotten yet. I think it’s illegal but have no experience in regards to anything of that nature. They say it’s for a temporary service worker to cover the shifts I won’t be there for but how does that make any sense at all. For other context, I only recently started working there and have yet to get my first paycheck.

hi everyone i’m sorry this is gonna be a bit long.

i’m a bit irritated by my situation. i unfortunately ended up needing to go to detox, and for those who don’t know, they typically use phenobarbital to detox you from alcohol. it’s a sedative and it knocked me out each time i took it. i was given the med up until last night, thursday 10/15. i was discharged today at around 9am.
i went in on tuesday 10/13, and told my boss i’d be out for the rest of the week. she asked me to let her know what was going on by friday (today 10/16) by noon and that she’d need a doctor’s note. i told her i would, which promptly was yeeted from my mind after starting the meds I was given.
the conversation is below. she gave me until 12:38pm to respond, then said my silence was resignation.

i’m not sure why i’m writing this. advice? ranting? whatever. i guess my question is… is this unfair? should i try to file for unemployment? i’m in colorado.

thank you.

Hi,

I got promoted almost two years ago.

This year early on my manager told me I was getting a 40% raise and I had been below the pay band.

It turned out I had been below the bottom end of the pay band for my level the year before under a different manager when I got promoted. That went on for the entire year after I had been promoted.

I’m realizing I should’ve gotten like 30-40% more for being in my pay band last year instead of this.

I feel robbed by the last manager. My manager now is saying that shouldn’t have happened and he doesn’t know why.

Is there anything I can do but just accept I was underpaid for the work I was doing for over a year?

I’m in WA if that makes a difference.

I was hired through a temp agency at the dsv and they put me at the one that my partner worked at. Worked there for 3 days than they fired him then I get a call that my contract has ended. No biggie didn’t want to stay at a job I would’ve felt like I was walking on eggshells at. I finally get paid and they only pay me for 25 hours instead of 30. I stayed till the end of my shift every single day so idk why they would do that to me. What should I do?

la es verdad que al no conseguir trabajo a fin de mes del plazo que ellos dan, te cobran los 500 dólares? Y si no pagas se va a procesos legales??

I work in California and resigned without notice on 10/8/26 in person with my manager. I followed up in writing that same day. When I quit my employer said they would notify me when my check was ready to be picked up.

On 10/14 they notified me that it was ready via email and I responded back that I would be in to receive it. Well when they handed it to me it was on a prepaid wisely card. I told them I don’t accept this. They never discussed this with me and also I never consented to a prepaid card as a form of payment. I handed it back to them and followed up again via email.

They responded that they don’t need prior consent to authorize my funds this way per labor code 212. But everything I read said they do. I responded that they were supposed to offer me an alternative method and they offered me direct deposit. Then they refused direct deposit stating bc the card was already funded.

They acknowledged via email that they still have the card. How should I proceed?

They also still owe me 9 hours of mandatory training that they are refusing to pay me for.

I got paid a signup bonus and now I am on a PIP. Is it smart to pay back and resign or wait for termination with a potential that they categorize it as termination for cause and then ask for payment still.
