can an employer dock your pay for a no call no show in New York?

I told my employer that I couldn't not show up to work two weeks prior to the day I could not show up...on the day in questioning, they kept trying to convince me to come in, but I told them I couldn't...so they said come in for two hours and some one would relieve me...I said yes because I got tired of telling them no, but I didn't show up, now I'm being docked a half a weeks pay

As with most wage/hour questions, the answer depends on the particular facts of your situation.
In New York State, you must be paid for all hours worked. In general, your employer is not allowed to make deductions from your paycheck. You should call an experienced employment attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation.
