I think he's talking about carpentry, not astronautry. But Major Tom would cool to take to show and tell.

Not that it matters. But scratch what I said. Very unethical company.

They're doing work for the government. I'm sure whatever it is that it doesn't matter.

Ya. Prevailing wage is one number and they pay a different number which is a lot less.

How can you not know what is your pay rate until after the fact? I knew what I would get paid 2 weeks before I started my job.

I know what prevailing wage is for a carpenter and a laboror. I did not know they were going to pay me 25 hours at a laborer rate and only fifteen at a carpenter rate. Even though I did zero laboring

keep going... what could you have done differently to prevent that?

During interview I was told " we don't have enough work for a full time carpenter. So you will be doing so labor work, and your pay will be affected accordingly. " but apperently they did have enough work for a carpenter because that is all I have done. Yet my check only reflects 15 hours as a carpenter and 25 as a loboror. In which there is a 20 dollar difference per hour in pay.

... and how did you keep track of your hours on each pay scale?

They filled out time card for me. They know what I am doing. There is only 30 poeple. I build walls. All day. Everyday.

Why don't you fill out your own time card? Isn't that critical to how your work is billed in the correct way at the right amount?

It doesn't matter what I put. That is how they are doing it. . It is illlegal, yet I either starve or deal with it.

Anyways I am just venting. At this point in time I am not in a position to stand up and say something so basically I will just do my job and take it for now.
