I work in a Small Animal Hospital. My manager is saying that she will take one of the days that I am schedule to work from me, because the shoes that I was wearing was not OSHA compliant. Resent papers we signed it said that I cannot wear sandals or open back or open toe shoes. I was not wearing any of that, I was wearing regular flat non slippery, (rubber under need) all around closed shoes. But for some reason my manager is having a problem with that. I have asked to provide me a shoe if she is not happy with what I am wearing, but, she said that she will dock a day by taking a day off from my scheduled work time. Can they do that? I have checked the O S H A web site and Department of Labor Relations and it doesn't say that docking a day is legal. She wrote me up and dock a day. Can someone help me, please? I feel that I am being discriminated because when other co-workers wear similar shoes or ever the open back shoes they are not being written up or taken a day away from their scheduled.

If your employer has written up rules, directives and procedures that are understood and signed by an employee, and that situation is violated, yes, they can dock pay and/or suspend for whatever period they wish.

I work in an environment where procedures have to be understood and signed, and consequences outlined if those procedures and rules are not followed.
