Post: Is My Job Illegal

Posted by Brittney Harrell on 2/21/09
I am currently working for a commission only job in California that requires me to drive for a living and work from home. They provided me with a computer/printer but not with a case and refuse to reimburse it, which I need in every clients home. They reimburse $50 for phone, but nothing for internet. Is that illegal? also, they have now changed their mileage to include a "40 mile a day commute (20 each way)" which is not reimbursed and before I switched to this sales job, I was 2 miles from the company store which they shut down and moved me to outside sales. Is this legal? Also, we have appointments set up throughout the day and we have our appointments blocked (without our consent) when we have non-paid "Non Mandatory" meetings so it pretty much makes you go. Is that legal? Finally, does your superior have the power to take away your appointments and move them to other workers and have the ability to block your schedule completely and time of the day to talk to you, preventing you from making money? I know it's a few questions, but I do feel they are tricking everyone out of making money, which is so desperately needed in these economic times. Thank You!
