I started a job with a tutoring company. I had to go in for training at 2pm one day. They never told me how long I would work until I got there. Turns out I had to work until 7:30. 5 and a half hours of training. My previous experience with the same company (diff franchise) only required 1 hour of training. Anyways at the end of my shift, they said I don’t get paid for that day. They didn’t guarantee pay the next day, either. I left and said it was illegal. Was I right?

I didn’t sign any contracts because I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to work there (had a feeling something was going to happen during training). But they ended up sending me a check for the time worked, after I told them it was against the law……

Yes, it's illegal if you're an employee. Did you actually sign an offer letter or employment agreement and fill out an I-9 form, etc? If so, they owe you wages for that time.

Nope. They wanted me to submit I-9 documents (license and social security card) via email but didn’t give me a way to submit it in person. I didn’t feel right emailing them

Yeah, it sounds like they really don't know what they're doing. Electronic submission of the I-9 is a real thing, but not via unsecured email, and it requires someone actually seeing your ID vs just receiving a picture of it. They still owe you a day's wages, but you might not have a way to go after them for it.

Shaaady shady business. You were right to quit and right that what they're doing isn't okay/illegal. Glad you got outta there.

Do you have a contract or any agreement? Can you reach out to someone at the previous franchise?
