My question involves employment and labor law for the state of:
I am a non-exempt, hourly employee and my question is; Recently my company had to shut down the whole building, due to a sewage situation, so we could not use the bathroom facilities for the rest of the day and it happened around late morning. However, the exempt employees were told they could leave, but the hourly employees were told they would have to either stay, or use their vacation time, or make up the time before the end of the week, so I was wondering since this was due to an emergency situation do they have that right to make us use our time or make it up? Thanks.
Or should all the employees, whether hourly or salary be paid, due to it being an emergency?
