my boss is very cheap i work 9 to 5 and he only pays me 218.49 cents after the tax... which means even much lower than minimum wage. he constantly yells.. he yells so loud that even the epmloyees down stairs can hear him. im not too sure if i can do anything bout this and probably have it as a law case sue since he is an expert attorney and knows all the laws... but i cant take this job no more... i dont even get breaks.... no sick days...no insurance .. nothing.. sometimes i even have difficulty going to bathroom cause im too scared to even go to bathroom just not ot hear him yelling. do anyone think i can do anything bout this?

Minimum wage rates are based on gross (pre-tax) pay, so if your gross pay is at or higher than minimum wage, then your boss is paying you a legal rate. And unfortunately, there are no laws that require an employer to provide employees with sick days, paid or unpaid. The only sick leave that's mandated by law is unpaid FMLA leave, and that applies only to employers with more than 50 employees within a 75-mile radius of each other. The only place where I can see that you might have a claim against your employer is in the area of breaks - some states require that employers give their employees a 30-minute unpaid meal break at one point during their shifts. If your boss isn't giving you an unpaid meal break of at least 30 minutes in duration every day, find out if he's legally required to do this. To find this out, google your state's name and the words department of labor, and then check the regs at that site. |

Unfortunately, employers aren't legally required to provide insurance benefits to their employees either. |
