What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
My boss has advised that if I don't come to work tomorrow - my scheduled day off - that he will fire me and deny me unemployment. He is claiming that it is mandatory overtime. However, since he sent me home early due to lack of business yesterday and told me to not report today, he told me that he will not be paying me OT.
Can this be qualified mandatory OT if I'm not being paid overtime? I presume that he can fire me for whatever reason he chooses but could I be denied unemployment?
