Legal Question in Employment Law in Texas

different pay for same work

Can an employer pay me $5.60 for 6 months and pay

the new people i train $6.00 starting out, and some of

them work the same shift? And i still am getting $5.60

an hr, and the manager sent the message to the

company about my raise like 3 months ago, but nothing

happened. I just quit the other day, because i lost like at

least 10 hours a week and i never got my raise or

anything. Also, another reason, i was having to do

some of the other shifts work, when they are getting

paid more then me, and they dont even work by

theirselves like i do. Please respond asap so i can get

this taken care us, and thank you.

Yes, unless the reason for the company paying you less than the new employees you trained was based on a protected category such as race, national origin, religion, age, or disability.
