Can an employeer force you to clock out and go home early on a scheduled shift? -

I work in a fast food chain, when business is slow the managers try and make the employees go home early to save labor. If I am scheduled until 4:00, am I entitled to stay until 4:00 no matter how busy or slow we may be.

YES it is not considered force though. However, not knowing where you are in the State of California lets say you showed up to work and it is a very slow day, and after 1 hour the manager wants you to go home. NOW in that case, by law he has to pay you for a minimum of 4 hours.

Do you have a union contract?If so ask the shop steward. If not, he is the boss.

Of course they can! You aren t entitled to anything.
