More details to this question:
I work as a second contractor for a small cleaning company. I get paid $14.00 hour one week I had worked Monday through Thursday and called in sick on Friday. Well when I went to pick up my check I saw it was short I ask my boss why and she said she was paying me $9.00 hour for being sick without a doctor excuse. She has did this a few times in the last three years is she able to do that.

What does your company policy manual state. Why can't you get a doctor's letter?

Yes, if it's the office policy for everyone.

Probably not. Contact an attorney or the Wisconsin Equal Rights Division/Wage & Hour Section.

Completely legal in GA. In GA, the employer may change your pay as often as they wish, so long as you do not drop below min wage. If you do not like this, your remedy is to quit. Bad management is not illegal.
