I recently resigned a position that I had been at for 10 weeks. Very toxic! When hired, HR had me sign a paper that when I resign and don't work the full 2 weeks, that final paycheck would be paid out at minimum wage. I live in Michigan. Quit instead of waiting to be fired. Is this legal?
Also, their staffing model was mandating, sometimes at the very last minute (like walking out the door last minute. Someone told me mandating is illegal as well but I don't know

I’m not in Michigan, so I don’t know the specifics. Generally speaking, mandating and last-minute shifts are legal. Union contracts are one of the few things that might have specific rules. I’ve not heard the 2 weeks at minimum wage thing, that’s odd. Glad you’re out and hoping you find a much better place!

That’s a good point. 10 weeks isn’t long, but 100% long enough to know how things work. Better to get out and find something else. Toxic easily goes to dangerous.

But what do you do if there is no backup? Too risky?
