No, it is not legal. Hypothetically, if an employer makes you sign an agreement that violates law, it makes an agreement invalid. It does not matter if you agreed or not, it violates the FLSA.
i ask for a day off and now they put a add back on Craigslist and change it from the one I started with and put the pay at $525 a week when they can’t even pay me that I only get $400
Talk to your local labor board. There are laws regarding in home Caregivers. You get paid at least minimum wage and your room and board can not be figured in that. You work 40 hrs a week any overtime is time and half. You deserve more than 6hrs a week. They are to take SS and tax out of your pay. Matching the SS.
Talk to the labor board. room and food is not part of your pay I would also be concerned if they are paying taxes or if you will be responsible for them come tax time. That will put you in a tough spot! PLEASE do not let this continue.
Now because I ask for a day off and for them to fix hot water so take a shower they put up a new add and it says pay will be $525 a week more then they are paying me now and offer a day off . Wth what kind of people are they
That sounds insane. Are they telling you that your 24 a day service is compensated by living there? Are they at the very least feeding you. I pay my mother's part time aide considerably more than your weekly fee.
In response to what you do, it depends on the state you live in. Without knowing that, it is speculation. State laws cannot violate federal law but than can expand on federal law for added protections.
Be sure and keep that ad that lured you in.
You would be better off at a women's shelter then to continue with your current situation.
Hope you kept the Ad.
