[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 2428874, member: 14176"] Here's my two cents, and part of it may only be relevant in the Central Region. First, as [USER=16600]@hyena[/USER] and [USER=61703]@Turdferguson[/USER] already stated, the penalty pay language for shortages is in Art 17 of the National Master. Secondly, in the Central Region Supplement, Art 12 Sec 7 states that [I]"Each full-time employee put to work shall have a guarantee of eight (8) hours of work". [/I] This article also states, [I]"The guarantee may be broken by request of the employee using the appropriate company code". [/I] I don't believe the company has "cart blanche" to go into anybody's time card and change their pay code without the employee's knowledge and consent. The way I see it, the company dispatches us with what they see as [I]"a fair days work, for a fair days pay"[/I], and if the employee exceeds those expectations, they have earned their daily guarantee. You need to look no further than the Company's bonus/incentive plans to validate my assertion, where employees are routinely paid for beating expectations (allowances). So unless these employees were instructed to do more work, and agreed to [I]"hours only"[/I] (05) instead, the Company not only violated the contract, they may also be guilty of wage theft and subject to a Wage and Hour complaint. ~Bbbl~™ [/QUOTE]
