worst case, get fired and then you really have a lawsuit.
In colorado a employer can fire you for any reason cept for race,age, special needs and the like. right?
Yes, Colorado is an "at-will" employment state. Simply put they can fire you pretty much anything. That is why it is very important to get a written contract when in a new job. Then you have the burden of proof when getting involved.
If they promised you 80hrs in writing but you barely clear 30 because they send you home early. You do have case precedent for a lawsuit.
They can fire you for any reason, with out giving a reason. It could be race, sexual orientation, disabilities or any other thing prevented by law.. because they do NOT have to give you a reason. Yes, it does happen.Quote:

Check your paper work and see if there is an hour guarantee, then look at it again to see if there is a disclaimer/rider stating that it's possible to not happen. As a contract employee you lack certain protections that a 'full-time' employee would have.
We're not contract employees, we're regular employees of the company who contracts. But the at-will info is correct, although we're guaranteed 40 hours a week. We've managed to get things improved over what we were told when we arrived, so it's better than it could have been. I think from what I've found out is that we're paying for another part of the company getting caught pulling a fast one. Our contract is fairly important for the company, and high visibility to the customer so they don't want to lose it and right now due to the requirements they have to hire people into our program we're hurting for people and we can't afford to lose any; if we do start losing people due to this they're going to have to do something quick.
None of this means anything, however. I'm going to see how things pan out, and go from there. I still have other options, at least one of which would bring me back to Denver. So, we'll see.
Sorry to hear about your situation, Byte. Hope you get it straightened out soon.
And no, I'm not in Clovis for this. I've spent some evenings having dinner in Cook's though. Sometimes when we get time to eat it's all that's open!
If you do get back in this neck of the woods, let me know and we'll go play with some tannerite.Quote:
