Blogorama - The Blog Directory HyperSmash Summer Camp Experience: Underpaid!

Wednesday 11 September 2013

Underpaid!

I was underpaid even for the amount of days I did work at Camp Birchwood for Boys.

Through the organisation I applied through it states that for my age its $1000 dollars for 9 weeks and at least $30 a day for each day worked after that. So I will go with the $1,000 plus $30 dollars a day since that is the minimum.

My contract was 31 May 2013 – 18 August 2013

The end of the 9 week period being August 1 2013, add on the 17 days extra until 18 August 2013.

31 May 2013 – 1 August 2013 = $1,000

2 August 2013 – 18 August 2013 = $30*17 = $510

So in total I am owed $1,510 for the contracted dates

I got paid $452 for 50 days work, also it would have been $793 however $341 dollars that Camp Birchwood were suppose to pay CCUSA (organisation I applied through) I then became liable for due to Camp Birchwood letting me go. Making my wage $452.

My contracted dates of 31 May 2013 – 18 August 2013 is 80 days

$1510/80 Days = $18.875 Per Day

$18,875*50 Days = $943.75 minus the $341 fee that went to CCUSA = £602.75

$602.75 – $452 = $150.75

So I have at least been under paid by $150.75 if you take CCUSA and Camp Birchwood for Boys reasoning for how I got paid. But when I get my name cleared I will be looking to claim my full wage.
