The week of New Years, our employer sent everyone home midday the day before New Year's Eve. He told us surprise and enjoy the holiday. My salary was docked $100 for that week. When I asked why, I was told because it was a short week. Mind you, they did NOT do that to my check from Christmas week, where we were off Eve and Day. Is this legal in AZ?

Hello d:

It may be. But, over $100, the question is, what do you want to DO about it. If it were me, I'd try to get my money, AND keep my job.

Toward that end, I'd send the boss a light hearted email.

Dear Boss,

Thank you for the gift of the afternoon off, and thank you for billing me for it. What's up with that?

Love, Danigirl.

Are you actual salary or are you salary, which of the days are "paid" holidays. The 100 would be 1/2 a day, so you normal salary is about 200 a day?
