“YTA. A huge AH. Pay your employee for the work she did. If you don’t, I hope she gets you into legal trouble. Under no circumstances do you have to pay her for the hours she missed that’s completely reasonable. But I can’t even believe you think it’s appropriate to not pay her for the work she did do. I can’t believe you would treat someone who works for you six days a week in such a manner. Not to mention that she’s worked for you for six years. How often does this employee flake or pull something like this? I’m assuming not often. There was an emergency and you gave her a hard time. She was obviously desperate and you were pulling some weird power play. There was a four year old in danger in this scenario, you look like a mega AH. I hope you pay her extra per hour for the days where she’s acting manager. But given the fact that your such a giant AH about an employee needing to tend to an emergency for a few hours I bet you don’t. You sound miserable to work for.”
