This is against the policy at the company that I work for. A reduction in hours is considered to be an adverse action since it has an adverse affect on your income. Any adverse action requires a notice period, depending on what it is. I don't know about a law suit, but you should contact your human resource manager and let them know what happened. Your boss may have cut your hours without consulting HR and doesn't know that he can't do it without notice. But even if that is the case, if the manager has a justified reason to cut your hours, HR will advise him of the proper way to do it... so I would be brushing up my resume :)

You could simply tell them that you are busy working and that you need to keep this job so you don't have time to mess around. I am assuming you are not being harrassed sexually. If you are, then they should be reported.

that will probably get you fired, you're taking potential work away from your boss and the crews that work for him, not a good move

I'm not sure what the legislation is like where you are from, but in Ontario, Canada you can be compensated for this.\nAs long as your doctor can prove that your work caused your CTS then you can be compensated for it. CTS is also a specific injury to the median nerve in your wrists (whereby it affects the muscles), so if those aren't directly affected you cannot be diagnosed with CTS. \nI'm also not really sure about taking "legal action" against your employer. The basic reason a compensation board exists is to protect a worker AND the employer. It protects the worker by allowing them to keep their job if they are injured on the job (in the "olden days" workers would lose their jobs if they attempted to put the blame on their employers for an injury), on the other hand, it also protects the employer by compensating workers without worrying about being sued if an injury were to arise.\nIt's best to check this out with your local compensation board. In Canada, each province has their own.\nAlso, recognizing that you might get CTS due to your work is a great step is realizing that your workstation needs to be readjusted (see Ergonomics). If your workstation is giving you pain by the end of the day, ask your supervisor or HR to have an ergonomic assessment done to readjust everything in your workplace, this will help to make things more comfortable for you. And if they don't agree to that, kindly remind them that if your problem gets worse you WILL seek compensation for it and that equals lost time from work!

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.

Probably in US you can be fired for breathing. In New Zealand large numbers of workers belong to unions to protect their rights. You can't get fired immediately for that.

Yes. If you are not where you are supposed to be at the exact moment you're supposed to be there, you're late. If you have to clock in or your computer is monitored, the supervisor knows instantly. Do it more than once without a dire emergency like a car wreck on the way to work, and your employer is within his rights to write you up for habitual lateness. Upshot: get up earlier, take an earlier bus or train, learn that work is work and not play. Be there on time. It shows you're reliable and responsible.

Sounds to me like the worker has been turned into a de facto non-worker. I guess the 'stop field working' notice amounted to a 'we aren't paying' notice, and now the worker is on indefinite leave without pay.

You may want to check your employee hand book, or talk to a representative in your human resourse department.  But generally if the company has a smoking band in effect for the building and its property, you can be written up for smoking if your cigarette is not put out prior to stepping on company property.  It does not matter if you are on the clock or not, but simpily you are an employee of that company and you are responsible for not only knowing, but also understanding policies and procedures as well as their code of ethics on and off the job.  \nIn your question you mentioned that the employee was reentering the property to talk to a supervisor.  In that employees defence, the supervisor should have mentioned that there is no smoking on company property and asked that person to put out their cigarette.  If this did not happen then the supervisor can not write up an employee with out writting themself up for not giving atleast a warning first.\nAgain this follows company procedures, under the title of disciplinary actions.  Good luck fighting this.  Hope I helped.

You don't state what the H.R. issue is, but based on the limited information you offer, it sounds like you were asked to take the day off so that the company could conduct an investigation into the incident. Depending on what the incident reveals, and whether or not you violated company policy or worse...the law...you could be fired.\n\nOther alternatives are:\n\n1) You could be counselled about the incident and asked not to repeat the behavior.\n\n2) You could be disciplined but not terminated.\n\n3) You could be told that there was an investigation and no violation of policy was found.

In most parts of the US - this would be an easy "Yes".  In Canada I am not so sure. I  did find the section of the law that seems to apply, but it has some provisions that are very different from how things are in the US. I am hoping it makes more sense to you.\n\n170. \n(2) Subject to subsection (3), an employer may, in respect of employees not subject to a collective agreement, establish, modify or cancel a work schedule under which the hours exceed the standard hours of work set out in paragraph 169(1)(a) if\n\n(a) the average hours of work for a period of two or more weeks does not exceed forty hours a week; and\n\n(b) the schedule, or its modification or cancellation, has been approved by at least seventy per cent of the affected employees.\n\nPosting of notice\n\n(3) Where a work schedule is to be established, modified or cancelled pursuant to subsection (2), the employer shall post a notice of the new schedule, or of its modification or cancellation, in readily accessible places where it is likely to be seen by the affected employees, for at least thirty days before the new schedule or its modification or cancellation takes effect.\n\nR.S., 1985, c. L-2, s. 170; 1993, c. 42, s. 15.

if their job involves driving, yes.  otherwise, it depends on the province they are in, and the labour law there.

Are you sure that you are accurately reporting the information the attorney gave to you?  If your vehicle is parked on the private property of your employer, the laws of your state may very well give them the right to enforce this policy.\n\nRegardless of what you feel about the policy, chances are that you are an "at will" employ unless you belong to a union.  I am not aware of any state or federal law that would protect you if your employer fired you for violating the policy.  So you have two choices:  (1) stop smoking; or (2) go off the property to smoke.

It is legal. I live in Michigan and was under the exact same circumstance last year. Labor Board told me that your employer does not have to pay you overtime if you aren't at work.

Legally, he should be paid for his drive time in this situation. Realize a complaint can cost him the job, they are due him all back wages, is it worth it?
