I quit my job because I was promised 30 hours a week and never got it after 3 weeks. Since I had to use my car for travel I was unable to afford the gas of driving up to 80 miles 4 days a week with no mileage reimbursement and minus 6 to 9 hours of pay per check. Additionally, I was told that I am a independent contractor and not allowed to have breaks. Lastly, I was given last minute directives as though I was on call often my work hours and locations given to me at the last minute. My employer denys this and is creating lies about me. What can I do?
Answer
Find another job.
Answer
Yeah, I tend to agree with Mr. Christian that you probably don't have a legal remedy. In addition to filing a lawsuit, people who are treated unfairly on the job can sometimes make a successful complaint to the state labor commission, but I'm somewhat doubtful that you have an actionable claim, or if you have, that you have enough solid proof of employer misconduct.
Answer
Look for other employment, and file with EDD for unemployment. Tell your story to them, and to the judge if you appeal a benefits denial.
