Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida
Pay dispute
For the last 2 years, I've worked in the promotions department of a radio station with a team of two other men and another woman, all of which have been hired after me. Recently, it has been brought to my attention that everyone else is making $.50 more an hour than I am. After speaking to my my boss, HR director and former GM, I discovered that this was a raise that only went into effect for the staff members that started after me. This has been going on now for 7 months, and I think that I am back-owed the money. My staff accountant and HR director also believe it is unfair and have promised to speak to our new GM. I'm tired of being put-off by corporate politics. How can I force them to back-pay me the money that is rightfully mine, as we all have the same job position and description and all perform the same job duties. Thanks!

There's no magic cure for this, but stay on them! Be a pest and hopefully you will get what you believe you're entitled to.
