When I was hired, my employee hired me for $20.50/hr. After realizing my pay didn't add up to being paid the amount I was hired on for-I even have the email that proves that I was hired for $20.50–I had a meeting with all 3 of the owners. The one who did my hire on process denied that was the amount I was promised; instead I was hired on for $17.50.
They said I was supposed to be working a certain position but after another employee was injured, they moved my position without informing me and promised me they will train me for the original position and then pay me the $20.50.
I am now trained and have been running everything on my own for weeks without the promised pay even though I’ve mentioned they haven’t gave me my promised pay. I asked for my log in to view my paystubs, but access to the account has been locked I’m guessing due to multiple sign in attempts with the wrong password.
That was about a month ago and for the past two weeks I’ve been asking for the HR department’s phone number since the HR department is not in house but a contractor. They keep telling me that HR’s number is private and they can’t give me their number.
My boss says they are the only one who can fix the locked account to have access to my paystubs. What is my rights and what should I do next?
