Here's the update: I find out that this guy is a new boss. Her previous boss was NOT a stickler on hours, so she was able to get away with having more than 40 hours/week. Her boss moves on and she gets a new one. Now, because of the lack of communication between my wife and her boss, we run into this problem. I got Shanna to probe him on why he had a fit about the half hour. Apparently it's company policy (thanks to the economy) that on a short week, employees can NOT work more than 8 hours. He failed to tell her that, so when she worked through her lunch, she had no clue she wasn't supposed to do that.
Your question may be, 'But Formo.. Why didn't her boss just tell her that during her lunch?'
Great question! That's because her boss leaves at 4:30ish. Her shift starts at 3:30pm. Once he leaves, she becomes the shift lead/supervisor/organizer.
Again, the principle of her not getting paid that half hour annoyed me.. But what pissed me off was how we had to drop our plans for the day on our own damn time to fix this clowns miscommunication.
