I hired on with a security company recently. When I received my uniforms the pants were unarmed. I was told I was responsible for the alteration fees because the company fallss
Under California labor laws since that is where the company is based out of even though I live and work in colorado. i was told this info came from corporate. When I challenged them and referred to the labor law poster the poster is miraculously disappeared. Any suggestions? More issues but will submit another thread.

Actually, it would be helpful if you get all your issues in one thread.

If you are physically working in Colorado, then Colorado employment law applies. If there was a California poster hung by accident and it was removed, there is no law that it would violate. If they removed a Colorado poster, you can certainly report them to the CO state department of labor.

I'm honestly not sure where Colorado law stands on the issue of alterations. That may also be worth a call to the department of labor.

Edited because I got lost in there.

Unarmed pants? :eek: :confused:

I think he meant unhemmed.
