Today, I was feeling terrible so I called in sick to work. My boss refused to believe me and told me he'd fire me if I didn't come in. I dragged myself to work, only to spend most of the day glued to the toilet. Now he says I won't be paid for the day because I barely did any work. FML

I think it's safe to say, your boss is a dick.

above all ur boss has proved himself a shit-head!

He has to pay you no matter what since you came in. Even if he sent you home after he called you in he legally has to pay you 3 hours of wages by law.

Can you complain to someone? This is horrible and he should be held accountable.

Not sure what the laws are in Malta (I have no idea where that even is much less knew it existed) but in America is it illegal to not pay you for a work day. How I see it is that you told him you were sick and he forced you there. You were sick during your shift and that made you unavailable to work as well as you would on a normal day. So in my opinion your boss as has no leg to stand on. If you have an HR or something along those lines I would suggest calling and explain the situation and then ask if he could really do that. I hope you get paid, OP, because that's not remotely cool. Your boss is showing poor behavior for someone of his title.

I don't know where you're from, but as a business student I can tell you that the law is on your side... They have to pay you
