Home Depot Employee Treatment

My husband works for Home Depot. He has a certain amount of health time =

accrued monthly. If he is ill however, and uses the health time, he gets =

a certain of amount points against him. After those points reach a =

certain amount he is supposed to get a warning. After that, if he =

accrues more points against him, he can be fired. This is not very well =

communicated to the employee.

Also, Home Depot does not allow over time. If you have a customer at the =

end of your shift, you are supposed to stop in the middle of your sale =

and get a manager to sign off on your "over time" and then you have to =

make up the time by leaving early or coming in late one day during that =

week. My husband's boss told him to come in late on an occasion such as =

this and she said "you don't even have to tell me." My husband was given =

points against him for his bosses mistake!

Now he took his vacation time, after a year. It was one week. It was =

approved by the proper channels. However, he was not paid as he was =

supposed to be because no one told him he had to, apparently put in for =

the time himself. He should've known, I'm sure he will hear.

The fact remains that we now have to use money from an IRA account which =

he has, to pay the bills for that week and to pay for an overdrawn =

account! We don't have much money in that account and have to pay 35% in =

taxes for withdrawing the money to the Federal Gov't!

What kind of a Fucking Stupid system is that!

I'm thinking of getting a lawyer to take care of this crap, because =

that's what it is, just CRAP! I'm sorry for the bad language but it =

needs to come out some way!

Home Depot Employee's don't get commission on anything they sell or even =

a percentage discount on anything they may buy from Home Depot.
