SD over hours sending people home?

[Caliwest]

Hey all , our SD at then end of this Month of May sent a load of full timers home a few hours early a couple days in a row claiming he had overbooked hours for the month. Same SD also just flooded the store with new hires over these same few days. Can they do this?
Flood the last few days of the month with new hire hours then cut regular TM s hours that are already scheduled to cover this new hire hours?
We have no HR in the store and 1 ETL covering all departments under 1 SD.
Who do we go to ?

Unfortunately, yes, they can, if your state labor law allows it. It’s 🐓💩, but they can do it. In California if you are sent home early they have to pay you for half your shift, so if you are scheduled for 8 hours and sent home before you work half your shift they have to pay you for 4 hours. To my knowledge they never send anyone home early until they hit that 4 hour mark…

Sorry that happened to you, your SD sounds like the lowest of the low. If the SD is trying to torpedo morale and have everyone despise him, he is on the right track, otherwise he is beyond clueless and despicable.😡
