Recently starting working for this small retail franchise that pays in handwritten checks with no check stubs. Checks come in a envelope with a little table that says how much I gave in social security and income tax. I knew they were a little sketchy when they gave me cash for my training (at minimum wage) and didn't even use my w-4 until a month after I started working there.
Now I also noticed last paycheck when I started doing 45 hours a week that they calculate my net pay (which is biweekly) by just multiplying by my wage. So 10 hours of overtime were still payed out at 8.25. I asked the owner about this but he just says this is how everyone gets paid, and when I asked around I found out it was true. Nobody is happy with it but nobody knows who to contact. Is there anything I can do to get paid correctly? The job is a really good job and I dont want to have to find a new job.
How illegal is this? Can I do anything to get my wages payed correctly and to ensure they will be paid correctly in the future? This is in Texas.
