TX-Payment for Hours Worked (Employment & Labor Law)

Mon, 09 Apr 2001 19:48:00 GMT

I work for a company that when you are "1" minute late you are docked until the next quarter hour, i.e., 8:01 becomes 8:15 on the timecard; likewise, if you leave at 2:37 you are docked to 2:30. You lose on both ends - is this permissible? In some cases, if an employee is late, say 8:05 (should start at 8:00 am) the employee is docked to 8:15 and then :15 minutes is added back on the timecard but charged to the employees sick leave or vacation to give them a full day. Please give me some thoughts on this.

  • I am not positive but it sounds like this is on the gray line of lawful practices. I would suggest that you speak with your state's Labor Department about this.
