Question Annual Review: my company does an annual review of all employees. I had to turn in my self evaluation by Jan 15. I did. Managers were to do their portion and a one-on-one review by March 1. It is now July 10 and I have not seen my review. I am pretty sure my boss is avoiding something like he lied or he is stating something negative about me that he is not calling out on others (unequal treatment). In addition, I received no raise this year ... I may actually be the only one in the company - or one of a very small handful - like 5 out of 100 employees. Everyone else in the company has had their review ... I feel there is some rights being violated here and if nothing else unequal treatment.
Extra hours: My friend is a salaried employee with her company for 5 years. The recently laid off her assistant. They told her that she will need to put in more hours - at least 50 during the week and 8-10 on weekends. All work must be done at the office and she cannot bring her 3 year old child. She is a single mother bearly affording daycare for the 8-6 day let alone weekends when group daycare is generally unavailable ... when is it too many hours for a salaried employee?
Answer The government and labor laws do not regulate raises or performance reviews. The only time this would be an issue is if you are discriminated against because of your color, age, gender, nationality or religion.
Second question there are no limits to the amount of hours that a salaried exempt employee may be asked to work.
