What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
Recently my fiancé had foot surgery. I am the only one in the household so I need to help her get stuff or take her places. Next week my employer is having a training session which requires me to be away from home for 2 days. The trip there and back as well as one night in a hotel room will be paid for by the company. I discussed this scenario with my manager and initially they said there is no problem I can bring her with me so I can assist. A few days ago, they changed their tune. They said I have to room with an another coworker for the room to be paid, therefore I cannot bring my fiancé. Or, I can drive home the two days, however, the company will only pay for one trip not two trips that would require for 2 days. To me this seems illegal. Is it or my manager (employer) can do whatever they wish? Thank you for the advice
