I worked at a bookstore from 07/04 to 12/06. Our hours are from Monday-Saturday, 9:30AM to 9PM, and Sunday from 11AM to 5PM. I've told my boss about how slow it was between 9:30AM and around 10:30-11:00AM, and for that reason, I've decided to come in at 10AM rather than the regular time. Keep in mind that this is located in an outlet mall, so there are also other stores with separate hours. My boss was generally lenient about this, and him and the owner had told me that it was fine as long as I wrote down the time for coming in later, whether it be 10AM or even 10:30AM. My co-worker also tends to come in later too. Same goes for leaving work at the closing time of 9PM. If it's dead, we could leave a 1/2 hr early. My boss also leaves if it's dead, the earliest he left was 6PM. So, on 12/30/06, I was fired for coming in at 10:20AM, 50 minutes later than the opening time. I was told that I could come in later after the holidays, but I guess not. Was it right for them to fire me for this?
