CABL Forum - Re:Check out your States Labor Laws Before you work

>I didn't consider it special. But as time edges past, it appears my school was indeed rather special. I was taught that a deal is a deal. That your word is your bond. I was taught that our rights are granted by God, you are born with all the rights you're ever going to have and no govt can grant nor retract any of those preordained gifts.

>When I give my word by accepting a project for a set price, that is the price I expect. I lend no more credence to the govt granting me more money, than I would if they through their infinite wisdom, decided my agreed upon price was too much.

>I loathe your dishonor. I despise your ignorance of the virtues that have given this nation 225 yrs of unprecedented success. I can tell you to a certainty, with no end to the historical precedence, that wealth itself is without value. Mr. Carnegie of the early 20th century, as well as his peers, had more wealth than ten kings of their day. Each dying miserable sots. Each was left with only the memory of the thousands they had screwed. I suspect, they had some notion that inevitably the tab for these misdeeds was yet to be paid.

>I understand that there is a tide of socialism sweeping over this nation. It has been the fate of most dying societies. The ignorant at some point realize, that their sacred vote can be used to vote themselves largess. If you believe that legislated time and a half isn't welfare, then you are the victim of the leftist propaganda so prevalent these days. You are less a person for it. It is to your shame that you accept this weakminded notion. Through your actions you chip away at the foundation of the individual strengths, that as noted above, made this nation great.

>Now, if you had a dimes worth of courage, you would tell the contractor up front that you were going to claim time and a half. That you know your "rights" (snicker). Of course, the problem with time and a half up front is, it more often than not effects what "time" is. Usually significantly reducing its value. It likely restricts what hours you MAY work. IF, the project requires more hours to stay on track, that's easily solved by simply bringing on more workers and shifting them in non overtime shifts. Reducing your opportunity to "earn" time and a half. So now you're working for reduced "time", over time is managed, REDUCING your "account balance".

>In closing, I would only add that your notion that legislated largess in some way indicates you being the best, is a non sequitur. Were I you, I would spend less time waxing on your blind ambition for wealth, and concentrate more on improving your critical thinking skills.

>>Hey Sweep Daddy,
>> Are you genetically predisposed to make poor business decisions or did you go to some sort of special training school? This is the part about cable that I love the best... when some idiot steps up on his soapbox and insists on being less than the best...and then, of course, claims the exact opposite!!! You are my favorite type of competitor. Keep on concentrating on your mental testosterone levels while most of the rest of us concentrate on our bank account balance. Have a nice day!

>>>I guess I said it best when I said. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSER!

>>>I shudder to think of the level of sniveling loser it would take to accept a production pay scheme, then run off to the state to scam for more.

>>>This is what happens good people, when idiots are allowed to vote (and procreate).

>>>Now I can nearly assure you that these two imbeciles, will declare it their RIGHT to time and a half. We shall see.

I couldn't agree more. Thanks for saying what others are thinking but couldn't say. Thanks again.

>>>>InfoGirl,
>>>> You are very sharp! And very correct. For example, in Wisconsin you are entitled to time and a half compensation for each hour worked beyond the initial 40. Your hourly rate is calculated by taking total gross, for that particular week, divided by 40. Any hour, or portion thereof, worked above the 40 base is payable to you at half that rate (thus time and a HALF). This is in addition to the full production amount. If in doubt, do the smart thing and verify yourself by contacting the Wisconsin State Department of Labor, who will then immediately initiate an audit of the contractor for whom you work. After the audit is completed you will be reimbursed in FULL for all monies owed to you. Each state has very interesting, and sometimes quite unique, laws in regard to the area of so called independent subcontracting. Check their respective government internet site or call the 1-800 number and request that a brochure be mailed out to you. Keep the faith!!!
