My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: Virginia.
I am an hourly employee with an understanding of im gauranteed 40 hours a week on the shift so any time before or after any shift is considered overtime and I was on call and working from 1-10. I was called in early to help out with some overloaded calls from the labor day weekend and around mid day of my shift 5PM. I was working on a job at that very moment. my boss said you can go home we dont need you. I understand that if theres no work they can send you home but I was in the middle of a job and he said go home. Can he legally send me home mid shift with the reasons of he needed to cut the overtime i earned between 8AM-1AM? If so or not is it possible to send me a link or an article for virginia labor law that states this.. I have tried looking at some websites but I wasnt able to get a justifiable answer. Is this a state were they have to pay x hours of after i get sent home?
