My question involves business law in the state of: Arizona
My daughter has been working 6 years as commissioned sales employee of a Kiosk at a local mall. As part of the kiosk owner's lease agreement the kiosk must be open and ready to conduct business at mall opening. If the kiosk is not open and ready to conduct business the lease management imposes a fine.
So, as a deterrent the employee's are told verbally if they show up to work late for their shift they will receive a (ticket) be fined a $100.00
and it will be deducted from their earned commission as punishment for showing up late or being late and unable open the kiosk on time.
The employees are also fined $25.00 if they are caught using their cell phone during working hours. The policy has been accepted by the employees and they don’t argue about it. If there are any objection's the employer simply tells the employees if you don't like this late fine punishment policy then don't show up to work late or in the alternative you don't have to work for the company any longer.
Unfortunately, over the years my daughter has lost a lot of money due to showing up late but she also earned a lot of money.
Now, having worked for the owner's for the past 6 years and made the owner a lot of money the two owners have recently moved to another state and has opened up another kiosk's. Since my daughter has been the longest employee and has been the most productive employee and has also managed the daily operations of the business as a manager for the owner she has been given a golden opportunity since the owners are now absent from the business locally. She has become a business partner of ownera without any financial investment on her part and she will receive 50% of the profits at the end of the year after expenses.
So, now being a part owner of the business she wants to put this show up to work late fine and cell phone punishment into a written policy rather than being verbal and having her employee's sign they understand and accept this policy. If they don't want to sign and accept the policy they are free to no longer work for the company.
Is this type of business practice legal? I'm not wanting personal opinions I'd rather have legal opinions if possible.
Thank you for reading and responding
