An employer must pay at least minimum wage for any hours worked. You should call a lawyer.
It is more the minimum amount of money that an employer has to pay versus the number of hours. If an employee works less than 3 hours than the employer is required to pay the employee an amount equal to 3 hours of work at the minimum wage in the respective province. So for example, in Alberta the minimum wage is $8.80/ hours X 3 hours is $26.40, so if the employee's hourly rate is in excess of the minimum wage, for example $12.00, than the employer is only required to pay 2.2 hours, which is $26.40 / 12.
sure why not
Your employer cannot compel you to participate in a work related activity without pay. These are considered "working hours" and the Fair Labor Standards Act is very clear that work must be compensated.
An employer is not required to pay anything.
It depends on what the purpose of training was. If the training was within the work hours, then employee should be paid. If not, then it is not required to but the employer should provide a bit of support to the employee. You better check the labor code of Oregon to know better of their rules.
No. Unless you were hired for training below the minimum wage.
No. Only if your salary pay
Sick pay is unregulated. It is a gift from some employers, and the rules are whatever the employer says.
No
When you started the job, did you get a signed contract that guaranteed your hours and your pay ? If not, then your employer can give you as much or as little time, and as much or as little pay, as he feels like giving you. And then, you have three choices of how to respond: 1). Comply 2). Negotiate 3). Walk.
No. An employer act is never discrimination unless there is a tangible employment action - the victim gets fired, demoted, suspended, pay cut, unwelcome transfer. Giving someone else training is not tangible harm. No violation possible.
