既然你知道你被虐了,那為什麼不抗爭、辭職?
你應該要讓更多人知道黑心公司的真相,讓它以後很難找到像你這樣的免洗員工。
知識就是力量。
至於該公司合不合法?
這和E2沒有關係。E2員工一樣要符合各州的勞工法的規定。
依照加州的勞工法,exempt employee的最低薪資,以2022年的標準如下:
26個員工以上的公司: $62400
25個員工以下的公司: $58240
(計算方式如下: Double the state minimum wage $15.00/hour for employers with 26 or more employees is $30.00/hour x 40 hours/week x 52 weeks = $62,400)
也就是說,exempt employee的最低薪資必須是計時制最低薪資(26人以上$15、25人以下$14)的兩倍,然後以每天8小時、每週5天計算

這是加州法律預防exempt employee被剝削而給的基本保障
換句話說,你如果每天工作16小時以上、每週五天的話,你的薪資已經比加州的最低時薪還不划算了(就算薪資超過58240/62400)。你的薪資比這些公司裡的小墨還要低,對吧? 為什麼你要繼續接受這樣的虐待?
現在來實際算一下你的時薪
假設每天13小時,一個月做26天,這是13*26=338小時
你的月薪不到5萬,算49000好了
49000/338=12
你的時薪只有$12,已經比加州最低薪資$15要低了。(你的公司的墨裔至少都拿$15以上)
你還有一個月工作18小時*30=540小時? 那個月的時薪才$7.5而已
總之,你的公司已經違法。它必須幫你加薪到58240或62400才合法。這樣你的時薪就會比較接近$15。
加州法律是規定,如果公司給的薪資不到58240/62400,那麼你就不能被視為exempt employee,而必須視為時薪制員工,所以公司必須補最低薪資、加班費給你。
(以你的工作時數,用計時制的話,公司會賠到拖褲、還要賠利息等等。你會有很高額的加班費,包括1.5倍薪及2倍薪的加班費)
要當exempt employee,加州法律有明確規定的。
https://www.shouselaw.com/ca/labor/wage-and-hour/salary-laws/
Labor Code 515 LC — Exemptions from wage/hour laws. (“(a) The Industrial Welfare Commission may establish exemptions from the requirement that an overtime rate of compensation be paid pursuant to Sections 510 and 511 for
executive, administrative, and professional employees, if the employee is primarily engaged in the duties that meet the test of the exemption, customarily and regularly exercises discretion and independent judgment in performing those duties, and earns a monthly salary equivalent to no less than two times the state minimum wage for full-time employment. The commission shall conduct a review of the duties that meet the test of the exemption.

簡單來說,只有白領的工作才能exempt。包括管理、行政、專業技術員工。絕對不應該包括勞力密集的藍領工作,例如你說的送貨、洗碗、操作機器
When an employee is improperly classified as “exempt,” the employer may owe the employee damages for unpaid overtime. The employer may also owe the employee one hour’s pay for each meal break the employee was denied.
If an employer violates the California Equal Pay Act, the employer may be liable to the employee for the deprived wages, including interest, reasonable attorney’s fees, and an additional equal amount as liquidated damages.
If an employer retaliates against an employee in violation of the California Equal Pay Act, through a reduction in salary, reduced hours, or termination, the employee may be able to recover damages. An employee may recover reinstatement and reimbursement for lost wages and work caused by the acts of the employer, including interest and appropriate equitable relief.
如果你還想要這個工作,我會建議你找勞工法的律師,(上面、下面這兩個連結其實都是律師的網站,找他們也行) 告知這個違法的狀況,向公司打官司,並且向加州勞工局檢舉,公司必須賠你積欠的薪資、利息,並繳交高額的罰款。它會被罰到脫褲,從此會被州政府盯上。你可以和公司談判,讓公司知道不改善、不賠錢的下場會有多慘,你其實有很好的談判籌碼。律師應該會非常高興接到這樣的大肥羊案子
但是你想搞得這麼辛苦嗎? 想要積極爭取權益就衝吧。
但遇人不淑,一刀兩斷躲遠一點比較簡單。但還是把公司的惡行惡狀匿名爆露出來,讓它以後無法立足。

There are three factors which must all be in place in order for an employee to be classified as exempt from overtime in California:
Salary Threshold
Salary Basis
Duties Test
THE DUTIES TEST AND CALIFORNIA’S 50% TIME RULE
