My jurisdiction: Arizona
I work for a private gymnastics owner, his wife periodically comes in and checks on how things in the office are going which is where I mainly work. She is not a owner nor is she an employee of the gym, she is simply married to the owner. I have had several uncomfortable moments resulting from the owner and after 7 months of tolerance and trying to ask him to stop several times my boyfriend came in and nicely asked him to stop mistreating me because it is very inappropriate, the owner asked if it was a threat and my boyfriend say no. The next day his wife came in a wrote me up for being 20 minutes late when in all actuality I was 4 minutes late, the company is very relaxed and not strict on policy and this was the first time I had heard of anyone being writen up for tardiness, even though just about everyone comes in late everyday. I know that the write up was only because of the confrontation my employer and my boyfriend had
My question is, does his wife have the power to reprimand me and give me the write up, she was very rude and typed up the paper herself. When I explained the entire situation she said my boyfriend does not work here so he had no say in what goes on but she does not work here neither so does this make the write up void? It was my first write up.
Keep in mind the woman and myself were very chummy before this incident and she had told me repeatedly that she wanted to beat up the office manager because of a relationship she previously had with her husband. These threats were made at the gym. The office manager was also present in the meeting and tried to explain how inappropriatly the owner had been treating me but his wife ignored it.
