Just need advice on a sticky situation, please.
My girlfriend works for a company that requires her to work every other weekend "on call" where "on call" is her working non-stop from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday. They pay $60 per day for this extra work. It's all overtime but they're calling it "on call".
A few weeks back she had to go into the office to work for some time on a Saturday. When she let them know afterward that she put in 6 hours on site on Saturday they balked and eventually told her she would not receive pay for these hours worked. There is no documentation for this. I am considering it lost time/money at this point but it should illustrate how scummy these people are.
My advice to her was starting tomorrow to let them know she is not comfortable working for the amount they're offering. $60 a day for the amount of work she is performing is under minimum wage. She ends up working 12 days in a row for pennies. My question becomes: if they tell her tough shit, what should she do? We need the money coming in so it's not like we can afford for her to just walk off the job.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: This is in the United States
Edit: She is an non-salaried, hourly employee
