I live in Florida.I recently quit my job where I was working for over 2 yrs. The work conditons were horrible, I would get harassed, and I was doing supervisor work without getting the extra pay.So to put it all together: I was a good , hard worker, never called out and put up with a lot of 'stuff' from this job.I wrote a 2 wks notice and turned it in but things got so terrible I decided I had to leave that same day and I did leave in the middle of my shift.
Now, this is the problem.I was getting paid $10.00 an hr (for the last 1 1/2 yrs)...on my last pay check my ex boss decided to pay me only minimum wage which is $6.15 for the hours he owed me and called it the "walk out rate" for walking out of the job....never heard such a thing.I have no papers I signed ,there are no notes or anything that said that he would do that if you decide to quit.Can he legally do that ? He left my a nasty voicemail saying that is what he does to all employees who decide to walk out of his place (sounds more like personal anger and hate to me :mad: ).Can anyone help me or tell my where I can find out about this ? By the way,a coworker there did the same thing,the same week ,and he did her the same way. :confused: Help,please !

Unfortunately, he can do that. What a lousy place to work.
