How is this possible? What would be the point of sending anyone home if you still had to pay them their full shift? I cannot find anything about this online anywhere.

If the store had to pay them, there wouldn't be. At my store leaders used to ask people if they wanted to go home early instead of sending them, and some of them were happy to leave early, mostly those who were working for pocket money or whose parents made them get a job. They weren’t compensated because they left voluntarily. The store saved payroll and the TMs enjoyed their time off. Sending them home would have been out of the question.😁

I think this is the law you’re looking for. Not full pay, but better than nothing. 😁

Yes, I mentioned "reporting time" upthread. Connecticut also has this law. But reporting time is not full pay. People are saying that their states require that employees get full pay if asked to leave.

It’s to protect the employee. So the stores there don’t do it.
The only time it was ever done is to the 4am truck unloading team “back in the day” when the truck didn’t show up because of a snow storm.

Was this a local store rule or something? Because again, I can find no such state labor law on the books, which is what I'm talking about. I am more than happy to be proven wrong, I just can't find it.

I’m an ETL HR in California and I guarantee you we have to pay the team member their scheduled shift if we ask them to leave without their consent.

I’m in California and my store has been cutting shifts without the consent of the employees. They are just telling them we cut hours and to check your schedule online.

Are they cutting shifts already online?

Yes. Why should the employees suffer because management can’t manage?

In my department they are delaying the start of the afternoon shifts to give the morning TM more hours.

Therefore the total hours allocated doesn't change.

Management also doesn't understand that I can't work past my shift BECAUSE THE STORE IS CLOSED!
