I work for a small company in FL, I am an hourly employee and have been working for them for about 3 months. In the past week due to the tropical storm I was sent home early on 8/29 to prepare for the storm. On 8/30 I arrived at work to find that they decided to close the office for the day. But I was here ready and willing to work. Then on Friday 9/1 I was again sent home early b/c business was slow that day and my boss wanted to get home. So I am wondering if for those days I should be paid b/c I was ready, willing and able to work. Also when I was hired I was told that it was a full time position with overtime available during busy season. I think I should be paid but my boss is tight with his pennies so I a have a feeling that he won't pay me.
Besides the point but to add insult to injury: 2 weeks ago they just cut my hours a bit so instead of leaving at 6 I have to leave at 5 so my paycheck is already diminishing before my eyes as they have chopped 5 hours off my schedule.
