Being a consultant comes with pros and cons. I can see why your wife would want to be paid; however, I can see why they wouldn't want to pay for nothing. We probably need a few more details before we'd be able to truly help, but obviously those can be tricky to provide on a public forum.
She is a regular hourly employee, not a contractor. They are denying her hours she is entering on her time sheet until they determine the cause. If it has something to do with our internet or phone line, she won't be paid. For example, she gets up at 5am, logs into her work computer and things are broken and she gets paid nothing.

They won't even pay her for the time she spent troubleshooting the issue.
