This is in CA. Power went out in the building and majority of the town Tuesday. I work in an office and the vast majority of my is obviously done via computer. Was told I can do filing for rest of day. Okay fine.
Next day power hasn’t returned. Am told I can come in and file but if I didn’t show I wouldn’t be paid. This doesn’t sound right to me, so I look it up and technically non-exempt employees are to be paid even if they don’t perform during a power outage (I am indeed salaried). I mention this and have coworkers saying it wasn’t right and why do I care if I’m getting paid to just file. Am I wrong here?
