When can a boss legally dock your pay for goofing around?
No company whether you are a full time employee or a temp can reduce your pay! The only thing they can do is either have a talk with you are let you go. As for being a temporary worker, they can request that you are not sent to them anymore but they still have to pay your agency which in turn your agency has to pay you regardless whether you were fooling around for a while. However, your agency may well not sign you up for other jobs if you are a habituate! Don’t take my word for it but follow the link below and it should clarify to you what an employer can do! http://www.masslegalhelp.org/employment-...
Is it legal for a company to not pay you, if you forget to clock in?
So my job uses ADP which is a means of giving employees this portal for them to clock in/out through and it keeps track of their exact times in/out of work. Well my manager approached me last night and told me that starting Monday a new policy is being made where if you forget to clock in or clock out for that day, then you just don't get paid for that day. She said the corporate offices decided on this. So I asked "Well if we're not getting paid for that day, can we just leave then?" her answer was "No, you'll be fired for that." So is this legal? Can my job literally not pay me for hours worked if I forget to clock in or out and yet force me to finish that day unpaid? Take note that regardless, the manager writes the schedule so ultimately she knows what hours that I worked, so there is no way that they couldn't tell who worked. Thanks
Is it legal for an employer to dock 30 minutes from your pay for being 1 minute late?
WIthout knowing details, my answer would be NO. There are typically guidelines on the "grace time" for clocking in and out. Is he paying you for staying 1 minute late?i would suggest you contact your state Wage and Hour section of its Department of Labor. They will provide the options you have in addressing the situation.
Are Texas employers legally allowed to dock pay when employees make a mistake?
The general answer in Texas is no. The place to complain is the Texas Workforce Commission. The law governing deductions for checks is called the Texas Payday Law.The big problem in your scenario is that almost all employment in Texas is “employment at will.” This means you can be fired anytime, for any reason (or really for no reason at all.) So you may recover your pay, but may find that you are out of a job.I don’t know about your ability to find other work. Sill, I’d consider making less money than to work for a greedy jerk like your boss.
Are employers legally obligated to pay me for training?
The legal obligation of an employer to pay for your training and development? No, man.Let me explain. There are TWO kinds of training programs – in-house and external training programs. In-house training programs are FREE for all employees. External Training Programs are either identified by employees based on their future plans and career aspirations OR identified by employers based on their business requirement and the career plan they want to offer to their employees, the former are self-sponsored by employees while the later one is totally or partially sponsored by employers.Every organization has an L&D Policy. In some organizations where training programs are not sponsored by them, they make a provision in Variable Payment Payout Process (VPPP) and reward their employees with 1-2% of CTC for their self-development. Some guidelines followed by organizations are as follows:1) Companies sponsor the ENTIRE training program - They pay the cost of the Course + Time Off + Travel and Hotel (if any)2) Companies sponsor the PARTIAL training program - They pay the cost of the course + Time Off, however, they want the employee to manage the travel and hotel cost if any.3) Companies sponsor the SEMI-PARTIAL training program – They ONLY provide Time-Off. Everything else, including the cost of the course, is paid the employee.4) No Sponsorship – Everything is paid by the employee.I hope this information will be useful.l.

If a company wants to allow its employees take an off for 3 months without pay, is it legal?
Assuming that you're not covered by some collective bargaining agreement or some other employment agreement to the contrary, the only legal requirement that there is in regard to paid work is that you must be paid for the work that you do; being placed on unpaid leave for three months means that you're not working, and thus you're not entitled to pay for that time. Of course, you're also not legally required to accept such a decision, and you could try to find a new job that doesn't have such a policy.
Can companies hold your salary if you are short of your monthly targets? Is it legal?
Overlapping state and federal labor laws would apply in the United States, along with principles of contract law and things like company policy, union agreements, and so on. Generally, though, once an employee has been promised a salary, that salary cannot be docked for expenses, penalties, damages, missed performance targets, and so on. Definitely after pay has been earned it cannot be taken away — if you’re paid at the end of the month, the company can’t retroactively take back some of the money you earned during the month by deducting something for a missed monthly target. Nor can a company “hold” pay in the sense of delaying it past the regular pay periods.Knowing this, companies and their lawyers and HR departments draft clever employment agreements so that instead of deducting an amount for missing a target, they add a bonus for hitting the target. So instead of $5,000 monthly salary but $1K less if you miss a $30,000 target, it would be $4,000 monthly salary plus $1K extra for hitting the target. A similar but more complex formula works for something like draws against sales commissions, and carrying forward a deficit of missed targets towards future months.So the answer is yes, sort of, if they do it right, but it probably cannot be described as holding or penalizing against a salary.
