    Default Husband's Getting Paid $20 Bucks a Day

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Oregon
    My husband started working for a car dealership, that does michanic work as well. No paper work was ever singed for employment, and when wadges we're discussed the owner simply said I can't afford to pay you much, but the work will be steady. The owner before my husband got their had 2 other michanics basically quit. See he also has a manufacturered home on the lot and has one of the old michanic and his family living their. Than when he quit he found another michanic and that michanic moved his 5th wheel on to the lot and is still living their but no longer working for the owner due to the crap wadges he pays apparently $20 a day is all he can afford to pay a michanic. So their are 2 old ( past employees) machanics living on the lot but no longer working their and now my husband and I. We both list our jobs from the covid 19 and couldn't afford to pay rent so we bought a travel trailer and found the car lot guy looking for a machanic and thought "" THANK YOU GOD"" realived that not only did my husband find a job but we found a place to park the trailer with electricity as well. He also hired me to clean the office, while I was working when I had bent down he said ""NICE ASS I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXTRA $100 IF TAKE YOUR PANTIES OFF JUMP ON MY DESK AND CHANGE THE LIGHT BULB RIGHT ABOVE MY HEAD SO I CAN SEE IF YOUR KITTY LOOKS AS NICE AS YOUR ASS IS"" I was wearing a skirt. I know big mistake and not appropriate to wear a skirt to clean an office, anyways what can we do besides the obvious answer of quitting. He's charging us $400 bucks for rent their is a shower and a tolit but something is wrong with the septic becaues the water smells like poo and when ever you shower as soon as you step out side it smells like poo as well anyways so were paying $400 for rent (and leageally he's not suppose to have any of us their ) and he pays my husband $20 a day and at the end of the month my husband's pay for the month comes out to be about $400 bucks. What actions can my husband take to get fair pay?

    He can file a wage claim with the state of Oregon.

    The entire arrangement smells like poop and doesn't add up.

    Are you saying that your husband makes $20 per day with an offset of the rent money or that your husband makes $600 per month and has to pay the $400 in rent? What are you getting paid to clean the office?

    If you are asking what you should do to get a fair wage after what the owner said to you, then you are OK with that or you should get the hell out of there ASAP.

    Find jobs elsewhere and another place to live ASAP. As soon as your husband files a wage claim, the crook will figure out a way to fire you both and boot you off the property.
