Gotta vent...
I have worked in a flat rate shop ( dealership ) for about 6 years now. I just got done this particular job to find out I was only paid 1 hour on it. I have done this job in the past and know that it pays well more. It pays a little over 3 hours under warranty. For anyone not familiar - Warranty will always pay you less time. I looked the job labor time up on a program that we have and it pays 4.9 hours. Now if you are expecting about 5 hours to find out you are only getting paid 1, you will understand why im steaming. I went and asked our service writer what I was getting for this job just to be sure, he told me 1. Then I asked him if he looked the job up. He said he did and he doesn't believe it should pay that much. This is about when I stormed out, came back over to my computer to eat my lunch and see if anyone else on here has anything like this going on.
Please note, I am not trying to be greedy. It is a really slow time of the year here in the shop so I try to make what I can. I was just wondering if this kind of thing is even legal?
