I started as an hourly worker in construction. I was given verbal advancment Twice which caused my pay to raise fairly well in both incidents. My pay never Exceeded 60,000 a year. I being a Dedicated employee always gave extra time to the sites I was @. I was recently told that all the doctor appt. that I took were deducted from my biweekly pay. I was laid off with no severence or anything to say gracias. All my diaries show my twelve hour days For three years. Should I be compensated for this?? I was green willing to do what it takes and never understood or really asked HR what the difference or whether it mattered. Please help if you understand.
