The lady that does payroll always cuts my employees hours without letting her know.  Is this legal?
352465
Is your employee hourly? If so, then it is illegal to cut hours that she has worked. The employee must be compensated in some way for the hours that she has worked. If the employee does not provide adequate documentation to prove that she has worked those hours, they can choose to reject those hours, so make sure that all of the documentation is in order. Otherwise, if the payroll lady is working for you, you can just fire her and get a new payroll person. If the payroll lady just works for the same company as you do, you should go to her superviser and ask for either an explanation of why this is happening or corrective action.

Your boss is inquiring about explaining the overdue payment collection from customers? Seems your accounting department is not sending invoices, or following up by phone call to the deliquent account. Somebody is NOT doing their work.

You'll have to read the fine print in your contract. Your employer may reserve the right to reduce your working hours in certain circumstances. It also depends on the laws where you live.\n\nIf in doubt, go see a lawyer - preferably one familiar with labor law. An initial consultation shouldn't cost you more than $100 - or may even be free - and if your case is valid, they'll work on contingency (which means you don't pay unless you win your suit).

Yes it is. There are many places who won't pay without a time card or sheet or some kind of documentation showing how many hours you actually worked.

Complain to the local labor enforcement agency. It's usually listed under the State Government in the phone book. But you should have that wage promise in writing. Otherwise they can deny they ever made the promise. You might try emailing your boss to ask about it and then getting a documented response from him. Anything they say that indicates there was a verbal agreement could be used against them. That's why you should send an email. If he responds verbally, then send him an email that summarizes what he said. "Thanks for answering my question today in your office. I understand that I will be getting $X per hour starting next week. Please let me know if I misunderstood."

This is because managers want you at work when you are supposed to be there.  If you have a schedule of work hours - you are scheduled between those specific hours for a reason, so that they have coverage to conduct their business.  Being late & absent regularly does not put you in favor with your manager.  They are not looking to do you favors & help you out, let's just be realistic.  By them telling you that the hours can't be made up, they are sort of punishing you too.  I am sure you don't get paid for hours that you don't work so they aren't going to reward you for being late by allowing you to make up the time & money.

I would tell him the truth. Tell him that is all payed for and it can't be cancel or reschedule and that you will make it up to him this only time. Don't forget to use please.

It depends on your employeers policy.  There's NO law requiring comp time, and if you mean comp time as in not being paid OT then that's illegal in most cases.

Don't you know nursing homes don't want to hear about things like false documentation,abuse,neglect.They want it swept under the carpet.First of all you need to report this person to the  board of nursing.Secondly you need to file for unemployment compensation at your local employment commission.You can draw if you are fired for anything other that willful misconduct and that means "intentional" I am so sure you will get it,even if you have to appeal it.These politics go on in nursing and it is sickening,that is why this R.N. of many years is no longer nursing.Obviously this person is a butt licker.That is what they like.If this company has a corporate office then I certainly would  make a complaint.You shook the sheets and they don't like that.Find something else but if you can afford it sit back and draw unemployment.I did for 6 months

Check out your state's wage and hour laws (or labor laws). They should have the specific compliance info you need.

Why don't you ask your local payroll office.  There should be a number on your pay slip.

It depends on the state you live in, but most places it would be. You usually have to be paid for all the time you work. He could make you not work for 30 minutes, but if you actually work the 30 minutes, you need to be paid. If you tell us what your state, I could give a more detailed answer.\n\nEdit: It is definitely illegal. First, Nevada law says, "An employer shall pay to the employee wages for each hour the employee works." Further, it is illegal to "Pay a lower wage, salary or compensation to an employee than the amount earned by the employee when the work was performed." An employer can change the rate you are paid as a way to punish you, but that requires that they notify you in writing "Not less than 7 days before the employee performs any work at the decreased wage, salary or compensation." Finally, the employer can withold amounts for certain reasons like health insurance and such, but for any other reason, the employee has to voluntarily authorize the deduction in writing. Tell your boss all of this and ask for your back wages in writing. If he refuses, talk to a lawyer.\n\nEdit2: I forgot to add that the regulations specifically say "An employer may not use a blanket authorization that was made in advance by the employee to withhold any amount from the wages due the employee." The employee has to sign the authorization each time.

depending on what state you live in, most of them have an employment at will clause that states that you and your employer may terminate your employment with no notification and for no specified reason.  And why wouldn't you want to make up the hours, wouldn't it just turn into more money for yourself and your son?  Unless you have taken Paid Time Off or personal time, your boss can "make you" make up the hours you weren't there.

The catch for you will be to terminate her agains the advice of your HR and Legal Departments.  In my organization that could result in your own termination.  \n\nIf you are dead set on getting rid of her you will need to document EVERYTHING just in case she goes to the EEOC/Fair Labor Housing Board.  Every time she is late to work or returning from a break.  If she misses any deadlines.  If she fails to complete tasks clearly detailed in the job description SHE RECEIVED.  \n\nAdditionally, if she is claiming any medical related time off AND being paid for it or taking leave under FMLA, they you absolutely may ask her for medical documentation.  If she fails to produce that, then you may have ground for termination with that alone.\n\nBe very careful about how you go about this in light of the fact that she named you in a previous matter with the EEOC/Fair Labor Housing Agency. They have up to five calendar years to re-open a matter for investigation at the federal level.

Call the California Labor Board. They are usually very helpful, friendly and willing to read the law to you and to go after employers who clearly violate the law.  Most of the state employees who work labor departments are thrilled to go after employers who violate the law. This justifies their job and helps with their performance evaluations.\n\nIn this case, your employer may not be violating any law, so just get the facts directly from the Labor department. Help is a phone call away.

Ok my guess is that this "payroll company" is a temporary agency such as Seek, Manpower , or one of the other ones.  These companys absolutly use employees!  The sad thing is that Corporations do buisness with these type of companys.  You have no protection in your job, you generally get lesser benefits, and you really don't have much say in the comapny you work for.  \n  My advice is that you get out of there ASAP!  The client may not even be able to hire you on because of agreements with the staffing company... did you know that?  THey are some shady characters and all they want is the pay that you make for them.  I bet they get paid 2 dollars an hour for every hour that you have ever worked!.  Over three years how much do you think they have made off your hard labor?  \n  Look for another job .. a real job with real benefits and real oppertunity for advancment.  Right now your nothing more than a 2nd class employee who will never be given anything.  Don't let these large gutless companys take advantage of you any longer.
