New Minimum Wage 2015 - TT$15
To all my minimum wage workers in Trinidad and Tobago, please don't forget that you should now be receiving no less than $15 per hour.
HI good day . I am currently employed with a well recognized private company. Its strange, after January 4th 2015, many workers are still receiving below minimum wage eg $12.50 and $14 an hour what measures can be executed to correct this situation. Also what is the law pertaining to overtime working extra hours rather than the 12 hours shift agreed upon and working on public holidays ? On another note what is the Breakfast break and Lunch times duration assign with relation to 12 hour shift workers for private sector ?
I am not a minimum wage worker. However I am being told at my work place that if i have not completed 40 hours for the week and have worked overtime on a given day those hours will be rolled back until my regular working hours for a week are completed and then whatever hours are left i will be paid for. Note i am a daily paid worker and work 5 days a week
I was working 12 hrs/shift for a company getting $17/hr flat but they fired me and I only realized that after 8hrs I supposed to get time and a half. Cld I go to labor board?
Hi I have a friend who works 13 hours a day including Saturday with half hour lunch,he is going on vacation for 2 weeks how much hours vacation leave he should be paid
Is it possible to contact you via phone?
