Hi. Posting here to see if anyone can point me in the right direction.
My wife works from home for a company based in Texas. She requested a half-day recently because she wasnt feeling well. Her boss ran a “productivity report” and has decided that my wife should actually request more hours of PTO for that day because she wasnt active for bits of the day.
Keep in mind, she is paid per processed case, not an hourly wage. And she actually completed half of her work for the day despite her “inactivity”. So, to me, forcing her to take PTO retroactively seems like a form of wage theft (trying to use up her PTO so later she cant take off).
I feel like the correct move here is just to say “No, thanks.” But I cant find anything that specifically says a boss cant do this.
What say you? Links to info would be appreciated
