Answer a question with a question...Did the employer introduce the mandatory 48 hour schedule part of the "job description/requirements"? If so, then back to work!
Yes, it is illegal for an employer to not pay employees on time. Employers are required by law to pay employees according to the agreed-upon schedule, whether it be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Failure to do so can result in legal consequences for the employer.
Yes, your employer can deny you a day off. They generally schedule their employees based on the needs of their business.
I think it is possible. Employees directed by superiors to travel are in work status, not a vacation during which they are free NOT to work. As long as employer requires work, and exercises control over employee, it is paid work.
Employers can suspend employees without limit. Employers alone schedule workers.
An employer is never in a position to 'punish' an employee, and is in big legal trouble if he does it and the employee can prove it in court. No law restricts an employer's right to discipline employees with schedule changes. Employers face no court imposed liability for doing so. An employer can't 'make' his employees do anything. The employer can state the work assignment, and then each employee is free to choose among three options in response: 1). Comply, 2). Negotiate, 3). Walk.
An employer cannot legally withhold payment from an employee for any length of time. Employees must be paid for the work they have done according to the agreed-upon terms and schedule.
Fixed ratio
How much notice does an employer have to give an employee when changing their schedule?
Yes, it is illegal for employers to not pay employees on time. Employers are required by law to pay employees according to the agreed-upon schedule, whether it be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Failure to do so can result in legal consequences for the employer.
When an employer posts a work schedule depends on the length of the schedule. This could be at the start of the week, start of every two weeks, or the start of the month.
It is important to have good communication with your employer. Make sure to speak with the employer about your concerns and explain your expectation of notice of any changes to the schedule. The employer wants to keep employees happy, so hopefully they will make an effort to correct this problem in the future. Give them the benefit of the doubt this time and assume there was a misunderstanding.
An employer can change your schedule for any reason, and you work the schedule set by the employer.
