Sent home from work based on personal issues

[burningid]

Today, I was sent home from work when my boss sent me home based on personal issues we have between each other. I was wondering if this is legal or if there is anyway I can receive the monies for the hours I was scheduled. Thank you.

Without a little more detail I will have to say yes it was legal

It was legal to send you home.

Whether or not you are due pay for that time depends on whether you are exempt or non-exempt. If you are non-exempt, you are never legally entitled to be paid for time you did not work, no matter what the reason, unless there is a legally binding contract that specifically says otherwise.

If you are exempt, you cannot be docked for the time but you can be forced to use vacation or other paid leave for it.
