Not in all cases Under the FLSA, may I dock an employee’s pay as a disciplinary penalty? May 25, 2022 Although it is discouraged by many experts, employers may in some circumstances dock pay to penalize an employee for violating a written policy. While an employer cannot refuse to pay a nonexempt worker for hours that the employee has worked, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not prohibit employers from reducing a nonexempt worker's hourly wage rate as a disciplinary action as long as the reduction does not drop the employee's pay below minimum wage. However, many state wage payment laws require an employer to provide advance notice of wage reductions and employers may need to apply a reduction in pay to future hours worked rather than retroactively.

He's warning Kevin without actually coming right out and saying "Listen dickhead, I saw some shit I didn't like and that's all gonna change chop chop, you feel me?" Now that he has sent that message, it's pretty much a guarantee that he WILL be following up on Kevin and his behaviors after this to check up on him and if he gets out of line again despite being "warned", then there will be more formal consequences.

Where are you specifically getting the claim that it's illegal from? maybe in your specific state or country perhaps?

He didn’t get fired? Or demoted? That’s messed up! I run a small business, and we do lots of manual labor. I’ve always believed that no one should be given a management position without having worked the positions they are managing, and having done every single task that they’ll be putting on their team. You can sufficiently lead a team to do something you don’t understand the ins & outs of, yourself. I also never understood the system we use for promotions, either. We take the best workers away from what they’re great at, make them do something else, and pay them more. Why not pay them more for doing what they’re great at and hire someone else who’s good at the other stuff you were “promoting” them to. It makes no sense to take your best, say, installer away from installing and put them in an office. Just pay them more to do what they’re doing. ?? Then you don’t have a bunch of new people coming in and out that you’re having to train, nor do you have your best worker in a different job. Idk… that’s just me.

I was to cold call all the new applicants and asked if they would go over their policy and see if they agreed with their answers They gave earlier on their first meeting about the policy and ask questions. He asked questions that would trip them up to catch someone who may have not told the truth to get the policy. Also, I realized that every time t walked down the hall to use the restroom , one of his assistants would follow me. She would just stand there and take notes about my activities. (I brushed my hair, washed my hands,) etc I finally asked her if she was following me on purpose. She said he required her to follow everyone to make sure they were doing bathroom things and not playing around. Also, he followed me into the supply room every time I went in there for a pen or pencil. He said i had to “check out every pen, pencil, box of paper clips etc. no one could take two of the items, just one. Another thing , If she noticed I was talking, she would come stand and listen to the conversations to make sure it was business related. When the mgr came back from his time off , he called me in to his office to see if I enjoyed working there. I was dumbfounded until I realized he had no idea his assistant did the things he did. He asked me how things went and I asked “do you really want to know”? He had no idea what the guy did. He said yes so I told him how the guy treated me .He asked if he still had his notes and I said yes. After I let him know everything, he called him into the office and we all heard yelling and he came out red faced, went to his office, packed his briefcase and left the building. He was fired. He had something wrong with him.

He didn't take much notice of it until the day when he was about 2 minutes late. When he got his pay the next week, he saw he had been docked 15 minutes and, quite naturally, he queried this and was quickly told of the ( very illegal ) company policy. The next day he was deliberately 2 minutes late again when he clocked on, then he sauntered to his workbench and very casually perched on it, watching the clock on the wall. The foreman saw him and came over to find out what was going on. My mate pointed towards the clock and said, "I'm waiting 'till quarter past seven." The very puzzled foreman asked why and got the reply of, "Because I was 2 minutes late clocking on and I'm not working the next 13 minutes for nothing!"

Yeah he can give them 30k and a brand new car but things wont change for other people, just the people they pick to be on the show.

A part of being a boss is delegating responsabilities. Unfortunately CEO's are still human so they think the people they trust are actually gonna do a good job. a lot of the time it doesn't happen, and since the company keeps running and complains never reach their ears they think everything is fine and there's nothing to worry about.

@@Regolant1 That's the main issue though I don't really think being a ceo determines if you're human or not, its not like a doctor. a ceos responsibility is the management of the company, not to delegate responsibilities. So yes i stick by my comment and say they should know what's going on. and this video was just sick to watch.

​@@Tsumi784, part of the management of the company as a CEO is delegating the work depending on the size of the company. Do you really think the CEO can be the lawyer, the accountant, Purchasing, HR, Marketing, etc for the company? A smart CEO hires people smarter than themselves that are experienced in the field that they are hired to do. Depending on the size and type of company, the CEO hires people to lead each department and from there they hire what they need to run the business. The CEO will only generally interact with his staff which generally are the heads of each department (HR, Marketing, Legal, Purchasing, Customer Service, etc). It is their responsibility to execute and implement what comes down from the CEO who is beholden to the stockholders. It is also their responsibility to report to the COO any issues that need to be addressed from day to day operations. There is a hierarchy. Most of the problems with many companies end up in middle management where they don't do their jobs most of the time, are on a power trip and fail to report issues to leadership because they don't want to look bad. If they report issues, it reflects poorly on them because it will appear as if they can't handle their job or responsibilities. Then when a CEO or COO goes on a show like Undercover Boss to see what is really going on, they are shocked that either policies they have in place are not being followed or people they have in management roles suck and are the reason for high turnover or declining business. It is not really a surprise that a CEO doesn't know every gritty detail that goes on a day to day basis, especially if the company is a big company, with thousands of employees, across multiple states and/or countries. Unfortunately, they have to rely on every single person to do their job and hope they don't have slackers as managers or workers.

So he’s undercover but there is a professional camera running around everywhere and the manager is on camera at the perfect times too? 🤣 🤣 🤣

When he ask did he meet the new employee and he said no I did not and smiled, you knew it was not going to go left

I love these bosses. They are really concerned about their hardworking employees. They appreciate them.

Are they really concerned? Because docking pay like that is illegal and if it was my company and someone implemented an illegal policy I would fire them no question. Also he should of known about this long ago. A company goes bad from the top down that means the ceo enforced this behavior

Why didn't he fire him??? I didn't see the entire episode but that kind of micromanaging is ridiculous. If he can't trust his employees then why have them? Look all the time he is wasting watching the cameras. Wow

“Sure” with that facial expression would’ve set me off 😂😂

When he just says “sure” or “yep” over the superior, you know he’s not gonna do it.

Hey, Kevin. We know we trained you to be like this. We in upper management did say that 30 min lunch means 30 min, including walking to and from the lunch room AND that we arbitrary set the lunch time to put assembly line type workers out of rhythm, but now I want to look good on camera so we are sacrificing you. To make me look better... So just take a L now and we see each other on Monday for the scheduled anti union meeting.

yea it's surprising people really think this is Evil Kevin's fault when most companies are like this several bosses above Kevin's level. he may be a goober and a useless manager on his own terms but this isn't just something that happens in a vacuum with only Kevin and his subordinates knowing

Just goes to show... Even the big boss has to change his policies!!! The company wants the money... So they cut costs elsewhere... To protect his ass, he pushes his workers... It starts at the "TOP"!... Can't blame the "worker" when it's the "company policy" problem.

Love the "can i count on you to get that done". Pretty much means. Stop doing what youre doing or you're fired. Love it.

A managers success is reflected by the success of those they manage.

Kevin… some advice- contrition and humility go a long way.

I'm no lawyer but I'm pretty sure it's illegal to pay employees less than their hourly rate x hours worked...

Talking to Kevin just got the kind lady in deep doo doo.

I’m so glad the owner and his son work with us at my job, the son trained me directly too

That dude had the managers balls in a vise at the end lmao you see his face 😂

So Kevin is implementing the company's policy and is now being blamed for doing so? And as COO, isn't it his job to suggest better solutions instead of asking Kevin to "get things done".

Company policy is 30 min lunch, kevin done the 1 minute late is 2 mins docked. So that is on kevin, and asking kevin for a better solution, is a way of saying are you capable of fixing this. Cause he caused a problem, if i have to fix it then why do i have him? (And no im not a boss, im one of the grunts, just see the points) All depends on peoples perceptions.

So you see someone who uses the security system practically all day to spy on staff, then uses it to "steal" their pay through docking?! He's not only commiting fraud/theft/breaking the law he's possible using micromanaging to bully and constructively dismiss staff. In addition he is clearly not doing his job a a manager! Manager's do not sit in front of security cameras all day spying on "his" staff 🤔🤦🏻‍♀️! Furthermore as COO, not it's not his job to manage the business he employed a manager to do! If a manager cannot manage the factory he was employed to manage, they should not be a manager !🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

He didn't even say yes or yes sir should have said yes sir He just looked at him and shook his head What a crappy company to work for I've even talked to the drivers before picking up the big dumpsters or the you know the cans in front of people's houses If they go off route go to the bathroom they get rode up and get in trouble Even if they have to like an emergency have to go to the bathroom That one girl had a pickup she had to pee in the cup She was not allowed to go off her route to go to the bathroom except when she was out of there her route area like passing the store to go to bathroom She couldn't like leave to go to the bathroom was an emergency nope they get wrote up so she had a cup that she peed in Hell embarrassing What a crappy company to work for

@@elenawilliams32 , what's really problematic is how these kinds of things should've been addressed "20 yrs ago when the company started"... I mean basic things not "trying to find all digits for pi" which is supposedly up to nearly 63 TRILLION at this point. Employees needing bathrooms breaks, lunch/snack breaks etc., are basic and even though human safety is a major consideration, it's unfortunate that many companies have decided that automation is better/cheaper than dealing with "basic human needs" therefore people are replaced more and more with automated processes.

Conveyor line jam...humm you can get machine's to pick off trash quicker.😂😂

kevin, in fact, went on to switch the policy to a 15 minute lunch to allow for a 5 minute grace period to clock back in!! what a great boss and leader of people 👍🏼

What a waste of 4 minutes.

There had been times where I had to all of the sudden need to go to the bathroom or stuck in it for you know what reason at the end of my breaks or lunch break. And thank goodness I wasn't penalized during those times for being 5 min late in most places I've worked. But I can also see how one missing person can cause problems for others with sorting the trash part of the job too.

She clocked back in then sat down and kept eating. 😄

Lol duping the sound affect she made her little cry and editing it in a second time 😂😂😂

Kevin should be put out on the floor and see how he likes to work by the same rules he had for them

She clocked back in to finish her lunch. That’s crazy.

But did she just clock back in and continue eating her lunch?! 😂

"Can I count on you to get that done ?"... silence and a slight head nod. Kevin would be looking form a new job!

That man is so pissed that his ego got caught

That dude's face is priceless

The look on his face spoke volumes he was going to make that ladys life a living hell.

He didn’t even come out and introduce himself to the new employee….

The other coworkers waiting in line just to hear her squel xD

Well what the heck hector!!!... did he say yes or no.. I come from the shorts , so I can watch the whole clip and then I still get left on a dumbb dumb cliff hanger..... ... son of a beeeppityyy beeep

Lmao....Ok Kevin, stop docking people for returning late from lunch. THERE! That should fix things! 😂😂

1:18 i love how they used the same "whoa" sound twice

WOW their manager is obviously causing major anxiety for employees

YOU SHOULD HAVE FIRED HIM IMMEDIATELY! Slowed down the conveyor, made 1 hr lunches MANDATORY, breaks paid, 2 weeks of sick leave per year, and free lunch once a month.

We love the invisible camera man on undercover boss. How do the workers never notice that?-

Damn you, kevin! 😂
