    Default Promotion Discrimination

    I'm starting this job about 100 days as monthly salary basis.

    When the negotiation, the employer told me if my 90 days evaluation is good, I will get raise.

    I give them my very best and saving a-lot of company's money also my working hours about 40 to 43 hours a weeks.
    After 90 days evaluation, i got good evaluation (above average / good in skill, attitude, teamwork & everything) and i ask about the raise that company promise.
    The manager told me I didn't get raise because I'm working below than 45 hours and the company need my working hour at-lease 45 to 50 hours a weeks.

    Is this case discrimination ?

    Can anyone who know about this law to help me ?

    Thanks,
    sibullet

    Nothing here is illegal.

    You can be asked to work any number of hours per week....as long as your employer pays you properly for them.

    The Problem, I didn't get raise as per negotiation.
    It is not because of my performance.
    The manager ask for more time with the same salary ( company pay base on monthly basis, working for 40 or 60 hours a weeks will be the same salary)

    You are free to pursue legal action. Was anything put in writing?

    If you are watching the clock as opposed to doing the job, promotions come slower.

    Are you exempt or non exempt.

    Are you saying you get the same fixed salary no matter how many hrs. a week you work - you do not get overtime pay? Are you exempt - if so, you just get a regular fixed salary no matter how many hrs. you work/are required to work a week. If you don't know if you are exempt, what are your job duties?

    Your employer can have whatever requirements they want before giving you a raise. (as long as you aren't discriminated against because of a protected "class" - ie age, gender, religion)

    What is the name of your state - it is always requested when you post & can sometimes make a difference to the answer. Thanks

    Nothing you have posted constitutes illegal discrimination. If you want the promotion, get your eyes off the clock and onto your job. Unless you had a legally binding contract guaranteeing you a promotion at a particular time, the employer is free to change their minds if they don't see your work as justifying it. And it's THEIR definition of justified, not yours, that counts.
