text: i'm salery in texas.  i have to work extra hrs. for no extra $.  i get docked for leaving early.  whats up? one of my co workers had to take off 1 day for a family emergency.  upon return he was told he would be docked one days pay.  however two days after his returned he was required to attend a safety meeting on his day off.  all the hourly employees got paid but he did not.  is this leagal?  there is nothing in the employee hand book that covers this. i know just what you're talking about!  they also keep the chains too tight.
