I was docked non paid vacation hours. I don't receive paid vacation or paid holidays or sick pay or any benefits. I am paid hourly salary. I also want to note I worked the 40 hr week by making up the time before the end of the week but was still docked for vacation hours "not paid"... I never heard of this before. Can you please explain how this can be.

Your employer doesn't have to allow you to "make time up". If you didn't work a day or part of it... you aren't entitled to make it up if you feel like it later without their expressed permission to do so in advance.

You can not "make up time" you can and need to be paid for any authorized hours worked.You are paid for hours worked, not paid when you don't work

OK so maybe Im not being clear. I was paid for hours worked.I don't have a problem with this . However I was given a slip that shows a balance of non paid vacation days I have left. I was never told that I would only have a set amount of non paid vacation hours or that I would be docked for them by leaving work early even after I worked a full 40 hr week. My supervisor never heard of this before and he had given his permission but the owners book keeper is the one who gave me this slip. Basiscally I left work early on 2 fridays for commitment I had and worked full 40 hrs to make up for time I needed to be off. I stayed late and came in early and my sup was fine with this but like I said the controller (her title) was the one who gave this slip to me. When I was hired I was never told this info.

And it sounds like the controller is doing the books properly
