Recouping Cheated Pay.

I doubt it. I have never worked for an outfit like that, but it is always best to wait till you are routed through a terminal, the tell them to shove it.

 

Did you get that layover pay promise in writing? Even on the qualcomm?
If so you might have a case for that money. Otherwise kiss it goodbye.
As for the out of route miles to dead head to the terminal, well that was likely covered in the drivers handbook and is a standing policy. If so then you will not get that money back.

In either case the only real recourse is to either sue them and / or see if your states labor board can do anything for you.

 

I foresee a job hopper just on the horizon.

 

Money is gone, unless you can take the case to your States secretary of Commerce (Or labor etc) and submit the situation for review and see if there are actual charges that can be brought against the outfit.

 

And they were right to deduct the fuel costs. If you had told them to route you back so you could quit they would have done so and not deducted for the fuel.

As for the not getting paid layover. When you didn't receive it on your check did you contact them in a professional manner and see if you could resolve the issue?

I have worked for Magnum twice on the ltl side. Never have I had them intentionally short me money. Both times when I left I gave two weeks notice and was paid all money owed to me including unused vacation and on one of those times even pay me holiday pay for new years day on my final check.

Was my check always correct? Nope. A few times they made mistakes and a few times I messed up on my paperwork. A quick call to payroll always resolved the issue and it was fixed on my next check.

Magnum is many things. But they are not a dishonest company.

 

Probably just trashing them on TTR.

 

I've dreamed of walking off of a job when I was angry at my employer. Unfortunately I have yet to be treated bad enough. Maybe I'll be lucky enough someday.

 

did you take out any previous advances on your pay?

if so, that layover pay could have been washed out from what you owed them.
