QUESTION
Can an employee refuse to be sent home from work with less than 4 hours worked in their shift?
Asked on Jan 18th, 2018 on Labor and Employment - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
We have several employees who could be scheduled for anywhere from a 4 to a 10 hour shift who have been asked to leave for payroll reduction purposes, prior to reaching the 4 hours worked mark. Do these employees have the right to refuse early dismissal from work if a certain hour mark has yet to be reached?

Unless there's a contract of some kind that governs these work/shift rules, such as a collective bargaining agreement, an employer can send employees home at any time. If there is a contract, then you'd have to consult the terms of the contract to see if its pertains to this matter.
