Ok. Here is the story. Some employees complained about the grade of paid in their particular department . It was too low compared to the rest of the company. Management agree to gave the employees a change of salary in January.
Well the approval came up in June. They were told that they could not retro the salary to January but they will give them a $1000 check. I guess now management is denying the claim about the $1,000. They talked to the HR Director and she told him that their is nothing the can do about this.
My view is that they are out of luck!
Do thay have an option that I don't know.
Thanks!
So glad is Thursday

They can contact a union, like the Teamsters, to try to organize the workforce.
They can contact an employment attorney to see if there was any binding agreement made by the company in that January representation.
If they are still being paid minimum wage (assuming that they are non-exempt) and their compensation is not based on any illegal discrimination (or in practice result in disparate impact on women and minorities), I agree with you that there is nothing that they can do, except as I noted.
