it is LEGAL to pay different rates for different jobs, it has NOTHING to do with shift differentials........... 
nothing illegal, unethical or immoral here.

About the only way they could do it is to claim that you get a night shift differential working as a night auditor. That would mean your base pay is $9 an hour but you get $6 more an hour for working at night.
(Anybody working at night at your employer would get the same night premium differential.

But it doesn't sound right... because the normal night differential isn't that high usually.

If you were hired for $15 an hour then they have to pay you that even if they ask you to perform duties that are totally underneath your job description.

Talk to the labor board about this after you clear the night shift differential question.

Whoa.... people... which country are we in? Here when I get hired and they say that the job pays $15 an hour that is what they pay me while i work there... doesn't matter whether I type up a letter or get sent to clean the toilet.

And Pat... Labor Board... is a common short form of the Dept. of labor. We don't get paid by what the position pays... the contracts are individual not by the "type of work".

This is why you idiots always gripe about the government controlling everything.
You think they really do !!!

THIS IS WHY YOU NEED A UNION.,



AND REENA  -- STOP TELLING PEOPLE TO CONTACT "THE LABOR BOARD".
THERE IS NO SUCH THING.
EACH STATE HAS A DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.
