I have worked for family dollar for 4 years now. The problems that I'm going to talk about started happening about 2 years ago when I was promoted to a assistant manager. I was hired in with the store manager and district manager knowing I suffered from mental illness and was being medicated for PTSD and depression. My store manager took advantage of my disabilities and started bullying me daily. I was forced to work off the clock going to the bank, taking conference calls every week and being forced to be on call on my days off because people always quit and I would have to come in so she wouldn't have to work a double. I was being threatened daily by her constantly being told if I could not do something she asked then she would look in the system for someone who could. I am a single mother of two boys one of which also suffers from mental illness and is medicated so I could not afford to lose hours or my job. She continued to find more ways to take advantage and I found myself doing most of the work by myself. I started suffering from panic attacks and found my depression was worse and my medicine no longer was working. The verbal abuse and intimidation continued until I suffered a nervous breakdown. I was let go because I could no longer function. I stopped leaving my house , eating, and I can't stop crying. I reported the time they owed me for to the head of human resources and she worked with the district manager and knows I worked off the clock but she said she has to investigate how much to pay back for the 2 years. The problem now is she told my old store manager and I am still being bullied by her even though I am no longer with the company. She has rode by my house 3 different times , began slandering my name to customers I been with for 4 years and they call me almost daily letting me know the disgusting things she is saying. I tried calling the head of human resources and left voice mails but I'm not getting a call returned. I just want this to be over with so I can go on with my life and start to finally be happy again. Now I'm not sure there going to do anything for me anymore. How can I make sure I get the money owed to me? Where can I turn for help? I have no money for a attorney and I have never gone thru this at a job before. Someone please give me advice. Thanks for reading
I have been working for Family Dollar for almost a year. I was actually one of the hires to help build the store at its new location. There were about twenty people hired and the store only kept 5 or six employees. We were told to dress for an interview and report to the location. The interview in turn went well for me. I was told that I would be getting payed $8.50 an hour for a cashier position. To my knowledge I was getting payed at this rate. This was August of 2013. I applied for foodstamps and was asked to provide 4 check stubs. This was the first time I had viewd my check stubs since I was hired, the information stated that I was getting payed $8.00 an hour. I was shocked and when confronting management, I was shot down or the question was answered with confusing terms. I filed for my taxes for year 2014 and to my surprise, I recieved no taxes from Family dollar. When I went to the manger, she told me that it was how I signed up for my W2's. I was helped by management at Family dollar to sign up. Perhaps the most disturbing information recieved was when my renwal for Food Stamps came up recently, an agent went to pull up my wages from Family Dollar and asked me had I been working up to 70 hours a week. This is impossible for a cashier position and that rate of hours can only be possible for a management position. The agent stated that the last time my wages had been posted by Family Dollar had been in March and they had stated that I had worked 70 hours and had been payed $500 for that pay period. I have never and will never recieve this amount of money from Family Dollar nor have I ever been presented with the opportunity to work those hours. I also have not recieved a check for it. The case worker said if she hadn't told me of this I would have been relieved of my Food Stamps for too much income. Corporate or whoever enters this information has false information about me in the system. We were also contacted recently about out taxes being short. Someone please help if you can. I am tired of being under paid and lied to.
