Working Two Jobs Rather Than One?!?!

by Alex T.
(Hollywood, Florida)

I was first hired as a medical assistant. The doctor had a front desk girl when I first started working in the office. About 2 months later he fired her and had me doing the front desk work (for a little over a month). I asked him for more pay since I was doing "two jobs" and he explained that I wasnt doing 100% of either job so 'no'. He hired someone new and for a week or two I was 'training' the new front desk person. She was fired after her 3rd week of work and without asking, he put me back to doing front desk work.
I am going to ask him again for more money seeing as how I am doing a job which i wasnt hired to do and also doing the work of two people for one salary. If i ask him again and he says no again, do i have good cause to quit and still get unemployment as i look for another job?

Can anyone help before I talk to him please?
Thank you!!!


Hi Alex,

I'm going to refer you to this page.

There seems to be a rash of bosses trying to get double duty of of there employees.....Two jobs for the price of one employee....what a concept!!
