Joint Custody
- Q. Can an employer stop paying an hourly wage and switch u beginning next week to solely commissions.just got the news toda
- A: Thanks and in Arkansas they can change to pay you commissions so long as you still make a minimum wage. If you work as an employee for a week and don't get paid anything, that is a minimum wage violation
- Q. Am I required to supervise students off contracted time for free.
- A: Thanks and no you are not required to work more than the time you are contracted for. Working off the clock is illegal in Arkansas.
- Q. As an independent contractor what can I do if a client refuses to pay
- A: Thanks and you can call the Arkansas Department of Labor. Tell them the facts that you wrote above. They have the power to determine if you may be owed wages if you were misclassified as a contractor.
