The exact laws may be different from state to state - If your from Cal. the link is below.\n\nBut every state is the same as far as hours worked.  If you are on salary - they have to pay you for the entire day, but if you are an hourly employee then no, they only pay you for the time you stood at work.  If you never clocked in then they don't pay you at all for that day.

Sounds like the boss wants an extra day off, if you ask me! If your company does close that day, and your colleague chooses NOT to use his vacation time, he will not be paid for that day--because he isn't working.  Employers do not have to pay employees for work days not worked.  Employees should not be coerced into taking time off or using benefit time (this benefits the employer), however, and employees who disagree with the decision to close on a productive day should be offered an alternative.  Unless arrangements can be made for those employees who wish to work that day, there will be one less day on that period's pay check (unless they use their vacation hours).  Sorry, I don't have specifics on legalities but I think it would be difficult to contest formally.  Laws vary from state to state, and even those considered "salaried" may still be subject to hourly reporting.  As long as the total hours are met, the employee would receive full pay.  You may be able to work out an arrangement for working four days, but working 10 hours instead of 8 each day, e.g.

Well there's a difference here.. if you're referring to someone who is ill and asks another employee to come in for their shift, then I see no issue with that.  But if you just don't show up and ask someone who's already working to pick up the slack, then someone should inform the boss.  And... that person should say NO.

Going back to your contract, you said it doesn't mention a method of resignation, but you didn't say if the contract states if you're required to be there x amount of time.  Pour over it very carefully.  We cannot give you a definitive answer without actually knowing every word in your contract, so it wouldn't matter if someone who answered was familiar with the law or not.\n\nAs far as walking in and quitting tomorrow, it's simply just poor business etiquette to not give an employer any notice of resignation.  It only makes you look bad, especially for any future references.  Any decent new employer would respect the fact that you need to give notice to your current employer.

Hello,  no being on salary means that they can not dock his pay for being out.  If they do, then he is not on salary and would have to be paid overtime pay based on his average hourly pay.\n\nIf they have actually not paid him (not merley used a vacatoin day)  then you need a labor attorney. If they have always merely taken vacation days when he took off, there may not be a real case unless the police to not pay is a written policy to prove what theywould do.

No, the company does not have to pay you. Again with the first answerer, you should take a vacatoin before quitting so then you would technically not lose the time.

If you do nothing it'll change in a few weeks time anyway and the money should be reimbursed to you in your wages thereafter. If your worried talk to your HR department or contact the inland revenue.

That may be unique to California (their kinda weird out there compared to the rest of the country any how) Federal wage and hour laws require (in most cases) that time and one half be payed for any more than 8 hours in any one day and over 40 hours in any week. Their are no requirements for an employer to pay double time, triple time etc. unless it is a part of some kind of contract (union or other wise) so you will have to check with your state's wage and hour board.

i don't think it's a law...mandatory time clock, i hate it without a time clock, it seems i got jipped when i worked like that. i would find another job if your place doesnt' have a time clock. there's no proof at all of what you worked, and if your check is short, you can't say antyhing about it!!!

It's not illegal to pay "late" when the payday is on a weekend or holiday.  As long as the payment is done the first business day after the weekend or holiday, the company is legally doing what is expected.\n\nI believe what happens is, companies are not expected to conduct business during weekends and holidays (except for retail and food establishments).  Imagine, if you will, if you don't have direct deposit.  Would you expect a paycheck on a weekend of holiday?  No, because the banks are closed for major processing and the office admin isn't available for disbursement of checks.  In order to treat all employees fairly, if non-direct deposit employees can't get paid, then no one should be paid on that day.  Employees shouldn't be ranked on how they get paid, even if you consider that computers can automatically do all of it.

Be  respectful  and be your self  .Just  ask  if you can  speak  to  your  boss and tell him  that you need time off and  reason    why and if you love your work tell him how  happy you are to be employed  by him and for accepting you  for this  position that you  do .HMmmmm  no pay   you need to  talk to  some one  from  it called  proof of work and  go  see labour board you  do not  have to  work  for nothing make sure  you  understand 2 week waiting period  for pay in any job .Then you are payed one week then if by\nweekly.

Once the employee is taken off of workman's comp.  It is no longer the responsibility of employer to pay anything.  These Dr. appts. should be given to the employee with their benefit time.  Or loss of pay.  It is up to the boss to make new rules regulating time off with appropriate proof after so many, usually three times.  But that is up to the boss.  If you do not find a good answer then you can all ways call the U.S. Department of Labor at 1-866-487-9243 and ask them specifically.  It's a toll free number.

Talk to your boss about it first, maybe it was just a mistake, but as the employer they have to pay you when you should be paid or at least give you an advance, as far as I know anyways, talk to your local labor board about it or check online for the laws if anything.

Let me get this straight.....You and another person have the same job in the same department, you are equals in every way.\n\nYou do your job without assistance and you do not take off any time from work. The other person does not complete her work and misses work on a regular basis because of kid (s). She needs assistance to maintain her job.\n\nHow is she treated as if she was not out of the office due to the kid?  That's the part that bothers me.\n\nOther than that, If I am right, you should be treated EXACTLY the same. You both have vacation time, personal days, whatever to use at your discretion. You use your time and when it is depleted you don't get paid. If you request help in getting your work finished, fine, what are the rules governing help? You should both receive help if it is warranted for whatever reason.\n\nWhat I am saying is, you have guidelines and department rules. You follow them. That is not to say that your performance is not superior to hers. If so, you could be promoted and she could be left behind. \n\nIf she is sneaking out and getting away with it, then that is another story and you need to report it to your supervisor.

If the lessee pays you for the driver's work, and you tell the driver where to go and what to do, he would most likely be classified as your employee.  Worker's compensation is another matter entirely.  In Georgia, for example, you do not need worker's compensation unless you have at least three employees, including officers.

I suspect that this will vary based on your country and state of residence. I've just been looking at labor laws in California, and unless you are a minor, they CAN require you to work extra as long as they are paying you overtime.\n\nOther thought: IF on your application for employment there was a space specifying what hours you are available, and then they terminate you for not working outside of those hours, then that is breach of contract and probably lawful termination too and you might want to find an attorney.

I don't believe your employer is able to send you home for being ill unless it is outlined in your employment contract.  If you have sick leave they may be able to send you home. I am not sure. But if they send you home I don't know if they could dock you pay.
