What is the name of your state? CA
My wife works for a transportation firm and she is a salaried employee (non-exempt). Her position is adminstrative assistant for the VP Of Operations. She has been with the company for the past 8 years. In the past she has never had a problem until the past 6 months.
Recently, her boss wants to fire her because of personal reasons (simply hates her and he's a big jerk) so he is trying ways to fire her. Before any of this happened, she went to human resources about his conduct towards her and nothing happened. She even went on medication without doctor's leave of absent and them not knowing the situation. In retailation of this, he is now trying to get rid of her. (Too long to describe here)
A method for termination he is trying to get her on is tardiness. Recently, he makes her use a timecard now which in the past. To justify this, he has said she's been late in the past. In all honesty, if she is late (it's always under 10 minutes and happens about once a month because we live an hour from work.)
If she is 0.1 late he plans to write her up and if she has more than a few, he plans to terminate her.
My question, I wanna know what the rights are for a non-exempt salary employee. If being late .1 late (5-10 minutes) justify being terminated and can they do it.
As info, there are about 5 other non-exempt positions that come and go as they please without punching a time-card. There consistently 1-2 hours late and leave early on a weekly basis. Human resources justifies this has different boss.
Please let me know.
