Sorry to ask but is this $7.25 your gross or net pay? It’s a $10 an hour difference from what was agreed, but if this is your net take home, it might be accounting for taxes, benefits, uniform reimbursement etc.
Still, this sounds extreme being over 60% of your gross pay.
Review any papers you signed when you started and please calmly talk to HR—tell them you’re trying to understand how your paycheck is broken down.
Yes
What?! Do you have it in your contract the hourly rate?
Never received a contact
What was on your employment contract?
I was giving no write agreement
Have you talked ot HR? The only thing I can think is sometimes places have a lower rate for training and then when you are trained you get bumped up. I would definitely talk to someone about that.
That’s not even close to minimum wage!
My first assumption was the same as S1. It’s not uncommon for hourly jobs to have a lower pay rate during training, but that should have been discussed up front

Oh no… gotta find a new job. Thats not even a legal minimum wage, is it?
That’s the federal minimum wage in the US so yes, it’s perfectly legal unless they live in a state with a higher minimum wage.
