Employer reducing Employees hourly rate on final check ?

[white trash wagon]

They should talk to an attorney.

For a $240 pay shortage? $3x40x2 =$240

Right, this is a case for Judge Judy.

and worse than that, when the next job application is filled out, there are usually blanks for the starting and ending pay.

The ending pay needs to be accurate. If the new employer runs the work history check, it will come up with a discrepancy. Not good.

If the form is filled out accurately with the low ending pay rate, the hiring person will see a low final pay number. Also, not good.

What are you talking about? I've never had an employer disclose salary before.

Im prety sure that it isnt legal for an ex eployer to disclose that.

[jayjohnson600]

Salary is one of just a couple bits of information that can be queried from a previous employer.

[jayjohnson600]

Job description, dates of employment, and salary.

LOL. Sure, it can be asked. The employer actually answering is a great way to get sued.

I've had many applications that ask start pay and end pay

True story. It was stressed over and over in our policy at a previous gig that we were not to answer any questions other than if they did work for us and if they were rehireable.

I'm aware of that; ours do as well. I'm referring to him getting an previous employer to actually tell him what a potential candidates actual salary was. Most of the time all you can even get is "Yes, they worked here these dates. Goodbye." Unless you have some rinky dink dumbass on the other end of the phone that doesn't realize he is opening his company up to litigation. Which would be unusual, because most companies of any decent size are going to have an educated HR Department that would know better. This stuff would be first day on the job training for them not to answer those questions.

Salary history is legal for disclosure, it's not defamation it's fact.

[Damnittsteve]

You are factually correct, but good luck getting it.

in the case of this thread, I would say the probability is quite high.
