QUESTION
What can I do if I work 8 more hours no break, paid in cash and I don't clock in?
Asked on May 25th, 2013 on Labor and Employment - Washington
More details to this question:
When I first agreed to work I was told I would make 10$ hourly later but before any money was given my manger changed it to 75$ a day which cut my paid considerably, I work long crazy hours with absolutely no break. I don't clock in and yesterday when I was finally paid it was straight cash. I'm pretty sure something here is against the law.

Your employer is most likely breaking the law. However you have not given enough information. What do you do? What equipment do you use to do it? Where do you do it? Who oversees or supervises your work if anyone? Are you hired by the job? Or do you work some consistent hours even though you don't clock in? If you are not paid at least minimum wage and time and a half for overtime and you are an employee then yes your employer is breaking the law.

You are entitled to OT, breaks etc. You could bring a labor board claim, if you wish.

You can file a wage claim at the Dept. of Industrial Relations and be prepared to find another job. This kind of employer will find a reason to lay you off.

Contact Wage and Hour Division (WHD) - U.S. Department of Labor. They have investigators that handle such claims.

Develop a log of your hours. You are entitled to two breaks and a meal period for each 8 hours worked. If you are not given breaks and breaks don't occur naturally as part of your work, they are added to the end of your shift. You can file an l&I wage claim or go with a private attorney for all uncompensated time you can prove if you work in a non-exempt position.
