I was wrongfully sent home over a dispute I did have with my trainer and when contacting my boss I was told she’s off and if my trainer didn’t want me on the floor since I was still in training they couldn’t just let me be on the floor so I was sent home and once I got home got told I could transfer to another facility to finish my training and I don’t think I’m even getting paid for today even tho I shouldn’t have been sent home
Hello Nicole, I understand your frustration. In Nebraska:
- Employers must pay for all hours worked, including training time.
- If you're sent home, it might be considered "waiting time" which should be paid.
