At my work we had a policy of “grace periods”, where when clocking in and out you have 7 minutes of leeway that would get rounded up/down to ensure a full shift would be noted. But as of yesterday the policy changed, retroactively reducing the hours worked for all employees who took made use of this policy (which was everyone). So, the paycheck coming up for all of us will be shorter than the last, since we already have worked for the pay-period.
Is there any action that can be taken about this? I've read that the state of Georgia (where the company is operating) requires pay cuts to begin after their announcement, and not effect hours worked before the announcement — but that is not the case in this situation.
