His exact words were "You only have 1 hour and 45 minutes in billable hours to customers. why'd you put 7 hours on your time sheet? "
then I explained what I did for the day and what all I got done.Then he responded with, "I'm only paying you for 1 hour and 45 minutes", there is no fucking way I'd let that slide.
Shit if you smoke, take a pen and flatten two of this fucks car tires.
He just nodded and left it alone for now.
My GM is in the office today. SO i'm gonna talk to her about it.There isn't anything to discuss, he's attempting to rob you. Go to the states employment board.
He's an asshole, but not the ultimate decision maker. Assuming he is paid 7 hours, there is no violation.

True, for now. I guess the question would be has this happened in the past where he was actually only paid for a fraction of his time worked.

BUt knowing this situation, there is like not anything in writing, so likely hearsay makes it no real case.

Sitting around a large office waiting for a phone port from HyperCore to Skyetel to complete so that we can check all the phones that we just installed.
umm WTF?
You use old school *67 call forwarding or carrier call forwarding during the pre port timeframe.
then you already know everytihng is working because you were jsut forwarding to a SKyetel purchased number already.
We have to manually swap every phone on the desks when it ports. So it is testing all the power and stuff.

Boss just Told me I only had 1 hour and 45 minutes for my day at home because thats what I have in billable hours on customer tickets....
WTF.... better to work for a gas station. Walk out, call the state boards, get a better job (even outside of IT) and be done with this BS. These guys are crooks and the more they push, the more that they will know that they can push.

Ask him to put that in writing! For real. That's 100% outright fraud.

Eh still why?
My normal recommended process is set up new system on a disposable number
Test phones with designated users
schedule day to forward all calls to real number to disposable number and swap desk phones.
Wait for port. -

Wait for port.Little home town phone company here, not sure if we could forward or if we did, if they would retaliate. THis was a "held hostage by the local ISP" situation. We were swapping ISPs, too.

Ah, never been in a situation that would not forward.
But if you have major trust issues that's your call. -

It's not professional.Nor legal. US law says you get paid for time worked. In fact, you get paid for work done even if they don't make you do it - they have to fire you if they don't like paying for that extra time (I don't like that law, but I understand why it exists.) If you were in any way involved with them, whether reading email, avialable for a call, at your desk, thinking about their needs... they HAVE to pay. It's not a discussion, it's not a negotiation. The work has been done, the money is now yours. It is theft to not pay you. There's zero "up to the manager" here. Zero. And they can't fire you for demanding not to be stolen from, that's even more illegal. They can't threaten to hurt you to get you to work for free.
He's literally demanding that you be a slave.

Then why are you listening to him at all. you are making more problems by involving someone that should not be.
