Svantaggi
I work for a company that has been sued in the past for violating overtime laws. They reached an agreement at the time and since went back to cheating it's employees out of overtime again. There are several other concerns us employees have on How this company treats it's employees. As far as overtime, we are a pay per job company, installing DirecTV Service. In the 13 years of doing this, before the 2010 lawsuit, the company did not pay overtime nor had us keep track of our hours. We work a mandatory 6 days with lttle time off. Most days are 8am until 7pm. We now keep track of our time using a company web based site. Many of us techs have raised concerns about why we are working 20 plus house over time but we see a small pay of a few dollars. We have done the math several times and it does not equal to nor come close to what is expected. Whem asking our company, they tell us that we are under a catagory of employment where they are allowed to pay us ONLY half time. We have researched this and found that what we are being told and what is happening is not adding up. Even if we fall under those labor laws, we are still not being paid according. Lastly our type of work is a blue collar tech based job, working in all elements, through certain holidays and all 7 days a week. Even the amount of pay we recieve for work done, is severely miscalculated and unfair. I know from research that our company may recieve a full amount per job, example 300 dollars per install but as a tech we may receive 75 of it. The way this company treats it's employees, technicians primary is in our belief to be wrong, unfair and unethical. The issue goes furthur into such as forced sales, promising customers things we cannot deliever, over booking work and placing a false number of technicians on the board as to schedule work we cannot handle which forces us on overtime. We are lied to and bullied in all aspects of our job. Some of us have been "disciplined" bc of our outspoken concerns, being advised that we should stay quite due to most techs being too "dumb" to figure it out. I am asking for advise on how we approach this? We have followed the chain of command many times with no resolve. We all our trying to provide for our families and go home at the end of the day. These issues make life at this company very stressful. Any advise or help would he great. For the sake of naming names, the company we speak of goes by Multiband Inc a Goodman Networks Company, home service provider to Directv now Att Directv.
