So.. I recently started a new job about a month ago. When I went to the interview I was offered the job (verbally) at a certain amount of money for my hourly wage, then an additional amount for the differential wage for working graves and swings and weekends. I was tickled pink with the amounts becuase it was more than I had been making at a previous job that was reasonably well paying. anyways. to make a long story short, I just started working my regular graveyard shift (which is the shift I was hired for) and I got my first check with the differential money on it and its 25% less than what they said it would be in the interview. I went to H.R. and asked them about it and they said that I should be getting my differential money I was offered in my interview and that they would look into it. Long story short, what should I do about this? Is this legal that a company can promise one amount then pay another amount after I'm all settled into the new job? Who else do I talk to about this if my HR doesnt do anything about it? I'm pretty sure I'm going to get boned on this and just get stuck with the 25% less differential money and this is a decent job. I guess I am looking for some suggestions or ideas of what I can do. I dont really want to threaten to leave if they dont make it right, but if I dont do anything about it I'm affraid they will just take advantage of me again. what should I do guys?
