Re: my job didnt pay me the hourly rate i was hired at
If they paid you at least the minimum wage required by Florida or federal law--which are different amounts--then the payment at a lower rate than you had expected is likely not unlawful. What you specifically complained about is important to understand in determining what other rights you may have, and if for example, you worked hours (or overtime) for which you were not paid, there may exist other violations, so please consult with an attorney to ascertain what rights you may have.

Do you have anything in writing or witnesses that will demonstrate that you were supposed to get $12 per hour. Then maybe you have a claim for the difference betweeen what you were paid and what you should have been paid.
