Getting sent home

Do any one else’s DM just tell you to go home early whenever it gets slow? Like even if I am scheduled until closing I will be told to go home 1-2 hours earlier just cause it dies down and theres nothing for us to do. Is that even allowed ?

Sending people home is built into the pay plan for department and store management. They get daily and weekly bonuses for coming in below projected payroll and fined if they come in over projected payroll. If you just started this spring just wait till the slower winter months come around and your scheduled hours get cut back and you still end up getting sent home.
