[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good morning OP, 
 This is a tricky situation. You are required to pay for hours worked in addition to her regularly scheduled time. You are NOT required to pay overtime when actual hours worked do not exceed 40. Do you have a contract?  Her requesting to leve early is just that, a request. You can set it up that the time she leaves early come out of her vacation time. That can be allowed hourly, half day, etc. I would not make things too difficult and tense, but I would certainly make it clear that her requests to leave early will be coming from her vacation time.

Personally, I am very flexible with my employers. I do not charge extra if they need me in early and my rare requests to leave early are not deducted from my vacation. If their requests for additional time were regular, which based on your example seem to be, I would expect to be paid for that in addition to my guaranteed hours.

Best of luck to you. It seems that you are both taking advantage and you need to sit down and adjust the expectations. This can be handled respectfully so that your relationship is mutually beneficial. [/quote]

OP here. To clarify, we really don't ask her to come early or stay late often. It has happened more over the past two weeks for school related events that happen twice a year. Being 15 min late night happen once every few weeks.

I really am perfectly willing to pay her for 40 hrs/week even if she only works 35 because I sent her home early. It's when she doesn't deduct for time she has ASKED to leave early that is getting me ticked off.  She is just so used to getting paid to not work that it apparently doesn't occur to her that she's not entitled to be paid for when she chooses to be off. The guaranteed hours concept is to make sure her income predictability is not out of her control (e.g., based on parents' whims). It's not a guarantee that she gets paid for choosing not to work. That's where I am frustrated. She is not netting out the time she chooses not to work, but is keeping a VERY close eye on working 30 seconds more than the original schedule. [/quote]

Do you have a contract? How much PTO does she get?  If you are up for keeping track of the hours she requests off, handle it through PTO. Some employers require PTO to be used in half day intervals. Don't get mad and hold grudges, simply adjust to make it fair for everyone. [/quote]
