I recently got a permanent part-time position in security. I have been a security guard for 8 years. I signed all the paperwork and received a letter of offer. I commenced work - three-day training for site specific duties, then on to work, solo.
At the end of the three days of training, I decided I did not want the job and resigned. I left voicemails and sent an email. No one contacted me. One week later, I was expecting to be paid for the 13 hours I had completed. I filled out a time sheet, etc
When I contacted my supervisor to follow up, he told me that it was a trial period and unpaid work. There was no indication or paperwork stating that my training was unpaid. Is this legal under employment law? Do they owe me money? Or did I just lose 13 hours of my life? I know it's not much money. But still.
