When your work schedules you for 3.5 hours are they suppose to pay you for 4?

Question

My bf told me that if an employer schedules you for three and a half hours, then they are suppose to pay you for 4. is that true? Should I go to the BBB if i'm scheduled for 3.5 hours but i get sent home after my boss calls me slow, talk **** about me and send me home early?

Answer 1

I would make a complaint about the way he treated you and talked about you however, if they schedule you for 3.5 hours you are only going to get paid for 3.5 hours. I think your bf is smoking something!

Answer 2

If you want to make a complaint about an employer's ethics, you should go to the labor board.  The Better Business Bureau is more for customers complaining about the business.

Answer 3

Hourly employees get paid for the hours worked.

Answer 4

You are usually only entitled to be paid for the hours you actually work....nothing more.

Answer 5

No. Time cards are determined by mintues not rounded to hours.
