Can my employer deduct my wages for being late and then in turn give them to another employee?
We had a rule that you were allowed to be late 3 times in a year without notifying the company. The 4th time was strike one, 5 strike two (plus a day off) and 6 aufwiedersehen. How’s this, the company took my riase to give to the warehouse manager to keep her from leaving. She quit two weeks later and never gave me the raise back. I left a couple years later without too much concern for what they thought. A dollar for fifteen minutes isn’t much of a penalty. Your compadre who was working without you those fifteen minutes probably earned it.
