| Can I be disciplined at work, for being unable to show up for a mandatory meeting due to a secondary |
| I''ve worked my main job (Job 1) since 06/11 to the present. Never had any issues, everything is for the most party dandy there. Never late, never call out sick, perform my job duties to an expected level or above. Job 2, i''ve taken since 11/11, as a secondary job to help further my career of choice, and gain the time in the company to place on experience. Job 1 was informed of my work schedule, and while it doesn''t usually conflict with job 2, if any issues do arise, I inform job 1 of the conflict. IE, job 1 schedules a meeting at 7am in the morning on a saturday. Job 2 my work schedule is 12am to 9am on saturday morning. I inform job 1 that I am unable to make the mandatory meeting. Job 1 informs me that this is my main job, and if I dont show up, I''ll be given disciplinary action. I compromise with job 1, and state that I may be able to see if someone can relieve me early from job 2, but if not, I''m unavailable for the meeting. |

| Is it legal for my employer to expect me to work if I am not being paid for it? I am an hourly empl |
| My manager has stated that if we show up after our start time, he will not start the timeclock until the next hour. For example, if we are to start at 9 am and punch in at 9:05, he will not start our clock time until 10 am. Can he expect us to work for that time and not be paid? Also, he has said that if we forget to punch in more than 2 times in a 6 month period, he will not allow us to correct our punch in time. Can he refuse to fix my time if I have witnesses who can state they saw me working at a certain time? |
