Is it illegal for your work to write you up for not working overtime? |
My boyfriend works full time and normally and hour or two overtime everyday. He volunteered to go in to work on a Saturday for extra overtime and ended up being sick. He showed up for work that Saturday and went home sick. So his supervisor was told to write him up for it. Is it legal to write someone up for missing overtime? Or for being sick? Do any of you know any websites that say anything about this? Contact the Department of labor for help Not illegal He needs to check the policy of the company he works for. Each company is different, but if the policy defines extra days as scheduled days, they could count it against him.....tell him to get to the human resource dept at work to check it out. not illegal, if he volunteered for overtime and didn't show up he might have taken away overtime from another worker, and thats just not fair, next time don't say yes to overtime unless you plan on showing up It depends on the employers policy. I think maybe its illegal for them to write him up if its not mandatory for everyone to work overtime, but he volunteered to work overtime. If someone volunteers to work overtime its just like a regular work day so if he calls out or leaves early its at the discretion of the employer to write him up or let it slide. He should read his employee handbook to find what the policy is. Supervisor |
