I recently accepted a position with my employer that is within the organization. I was offered an hourly wage and accepted an hourly wage. My offer letter even states hourly. 2 weeks after giving my notice in my other position (they were allowed to keep me an additional 2 weeks) I noticed I could no longer punch in and out. I asked the leadership in my new position, but they said everything looked okay on their end. I also hold a secondary PRN position in another department that agreed to paying me Overtime to work their department. Well low and behold payday rolls around and I am salary not hourly. My interim director at the time tried to get my job switched to hourly but HR refused saying all Project Coordinators are salary in the organization. They were able to get it approved that I can work over my 80 hours a pay period but at the flat hourly rate no time and a half no shift differential and I have to work in 4 hour increments. SO I basically have to work twice as hard to make the same money as before. I did get a check for the overtime they owed me also but not time and a half or shift differential. I work for a large corporation and have taken this as far as I can as far as leadership. They will not make me hourly or give me an increase for the loss in wages. Do I have any legal recourse I am trying to find another position but haven't been able to yet. I did not agree to being Salary but I cannot continue in this job at this rate!!
