Manager fsiled to appear at meeting scheduled with daughter failed to acknowledge ask of meeting regarding cleaning rate as its well under minimum wage, didnt respond in timely manner so she could start work in am wakt until afternoon to respond with a full schedule she wanted done that day.. daughter let her know until wages were discussed she won't be working because at this point they arent within legal laws of minimum wage. Manager ignores her and that evening the job she was told was hers at front desk was posted online and no response was ever giben to her. Believe this is retaliation when hiring her as they spoke on me the whole interview to turn her against me but when she stood up for herself amd i requested back pay they ignored request for meeting but said they want work done at illegal wages and have yet to pay her stating it's not finished but she let them know compensation must meet legal minimum in which they never respond
