OK Kev..........lets try this !
I own a lanscaping company and hire you to pull weeds for "MY COMPANY". I will insure you have a safe environment to work at, i.e. no dogs in the yard, at "MY COMPANY" since I don't want you trying to sue "MY COMPANY". I said I will pay you $5.00 an hour to pull said weeds and you agreed.
Two weeks later you say, "I want more money and don't want to pull weeds anymore, to which I reply " Your free to leave and find a job at another company paying more than $5.00 an hour pulling weeds"..............since it is.............."MY COMPANY" !
BTW............NXNW, it's "BECKON CALL" and no matter how you spin it "Beck" is related to music !
First of all, in our example you'd be in violation of labor laws for paying less than minimum wage....
What happens when you willingly leave the safety guards off equipment I'll be using?
When you neglect to tell the homeowners to put the pitbulls inside?
When you decide that you're not going to pay O.T. after either 8 hours in a day or 40 in a week (depending on what state you're in)?
When out of nowhere you decide that you'll only be paying $2.50/hour, even though we *both* agreed to $5.00?
Using your earlier statements, the worker should have no recourse; either with you or the state. Is this correct? That's not what you're really trying to convey is it?
P.S. Note to T5towbar: Excellent posts, and congrats on you guys getting a little back!
