hi, i work in homehealth, and i have to use a palm-pilot to enter my information. well in training mine kept breaking and i would fall behind a little bit, so i did not get all the info i needed to work. they also did not explain all the paper work properly and did not let me know all that needed to be done. well they told me i was falling behind and needed to come to the office for a week to catch-up and learn the proper way to use the device. They told me to be there everyday at 8am and i left about 4pm everyday. My normal visits that i do were given to somebody else for the week. When i came to work today they told me that i was only getting paid for 8 of the 32 hours i was in the office, because it was my own fault that i was behind. i didnt know if this was legal or not considering they made me come to the office and stay there. any advice will help.

You have to paid for every hour worked.
