Do you have automatic deductions taken from your paycheck that you did not give written consent to? Did you have to purchase specific shoes or other safety equipment?

Do you have to use your own vehicle for your job without being compensated for mileage? Do you work a four day, 10 hour a day workweek? Do you have to purchase your own uniform?
