I worked at a group home going on two years in california, and i am ready to quit!!!! I have many questions about my rights as an employee, because all the staff have been treated poorly by the administrator.
1st question: My boss is implementing this rule that if we are one minute late our pay will get docked by thirty minutes. The problem with this is that we just right down our time in a book. The clock at the facility is always off 5 or 10 minutes. Is there some kin of law that states that there should be a grace period?
2nd question: Of course a group home is ran 24 hours... My boss wants me to work a 24 hour shift 8am-8am, but only wants to pay for 16 hours because she said i can sleep on the couch for 8 hours. Mind you that the clients could wake up at anytime and our still part of my responsibility. Can she do this?
3rd question: The clients that i deal with can be agressive with staff due to their mental diabilities. I have had many injuries with my hand or back. Also have been bitten several times so hard that i have severe scaring, my nose busted, etc. Own staff has gotten they're eye swollen shut. When asked if there some sort of compensation or a day or two off to recover, the answer is always "NO!" Is there something i can do about this? Mind you that with every two clients there should be one staff. We have four clients and on them is supposed to get her own staff. but i am always there m myself.
4th question: Every payday my check is either late or short on hours. When i confront the administrator about it she just says she'll put it in the next check or i have to wait a couple of days until she gets in contact with the payroll guy. Is there some kind of penalty for this?
I Love what i do. but i need to know if i choose to quit this job, that i will i have a case. I am tired of the mistreatment of employees and contradictions of the administrator. She doesn't follow the required rules for licensing but when it comes to paying us she wants to make up excuses.
A couple of weeks ago i started documenting my day at work and conversations we have, in my own notebook at home because i have seen her former employees done wrong and her attempts to get out of paying them. Is this a good idea? I really want to quit but i am trying to hold on an finish this semester of school. what should i do?
