Is this legal, or does it sound fishy to you?
My fiance's employer (who has done some fishy things before, like altering hours in the computer system, trying to get employees to take "partial" overtime payment under the counter, etc) has passed out a paper to all of the employees. Basically it says that effective immediately, if an employee is seen on a cell phone or making personal calls on the business phone, they will be docked 15 minutes of pay. Is it legal for an employer to alter hours like that? I thought that employers could write employees up and fire them, but that altering hourly pay was off-limits. I can't seem to find anything on the labor laws in PA regarding this, everything I find involves salary employees rather than hourly.
