Today, I was robbed at work. The guy stole my phone, bag, and laptop. Because of the robbery, I had to close the store two and a half hours early. My boss docked my hours. FML

Commenting to # 12, it's actually required by most companies to close the store down after a robbery to call the police and to prevent the robber from coming back. And in Canada and the US it would be against the law to dock her hours after closing the store due to an extremely stressful situation such as a robbery. OP, call the labor board, or human ressources and file a complaint.

Actually she may have had to. Someone above said its a law, and while I'm not so sure about that, I have no problem believing that its company policy. Or even if the cops wanted to question her and she couldn't work and talk to the cops at the same time.

Why does the boss still have to pay? According to what law? It's not the boss's fault OP was robbed. If the store was robbed maybe that applies unless the boss said not to close. Otherwise it sucks but it doesn't sound illegal. FYL OP

.. Good? You closed early, why should your boss have to pay you for time you were not working?

So does your boss have insurance. I would be claiming against his insurance for loss of property.

So your personal belongings were robbed, and you felt you had no other choice that to close up. Why'd you close up? The stuff stolen didn't impair your ability to do work, you chose to, so shut up and quit complaining.

as to the people complaining that the person "shouldn't have left" in the case of theft the cops will take you for a statement it was out of their control but on the other hand they are in no way entitled to pay you for hours you don't work hence the word work

I don't know how it works, but I wouldn't feel like I deserved money for unworked hours.

Am I seriously the only one who takes "getting hours docked" as not getting as many shifts after the incident?

I don't think she got held up, I think it was a personal theft. Usually in a hold up there a "give me the money in the register" theme, not "give me your bejeweled iPhone and that four year old Dell in your bag, but leave the money in the register." She probably was working alone, realized her stuff got stolen, called her boss who told her to deal with it after hours, but decided to deal with it right away anyways. Usually at stores you don't have personal items out where people can steal them in a hold up.
