- That is an issue for the company policies manual. It's different everywhere.
- From a State/Federal Labor board standpoint I have never heard about anything that would compel a person to "count" time off against their salary.That being said if your working less then a 40 hour week I think your employer might have a pretty reasonable justification for wanting to reduce your compensation or eliminating your employment. I would imagine from a legal standpoint you could probably just keep showing up 2 hours a week if you felt like it and until your employer terminated you they would most likely be compelled under your contract to compensate you at the full rate that was agreed upon.Here are some guidelines that I feel are reasonable:
- - If your fulfilling more then 40 hours in a given week then if you need to leave a few hours earlier it probably should not be counted against you.
- - If you take a full day off during any normal working day then that should probably count as either a personal day, sick day or vacation day. (If you have run out of those type of days then I think it's reasonable to allow your employer to dock compensation for a day)
- - If you take off a normal working day but in the previous 7 day period worked a day that generally falls outside of a normal working day then that time off should be considered "comped" and not count against your daily totals.
- But those are just guidelines. From a legal standpoint you can compel your employer to compensate you within the terms of your employment contract and unless they have accounted for time off not covered by sick days etc... then they will be stuck paying it (assuming your willing to go to court). The real question I would ask you is if your employer is being reasonable or not. I would think any salaried employee would be expected to work a minimum 40 hours per week not accounting for holidays, personal days, vacation etc... If your falling below that then regardless of if your legally required to do so you should allow them to deduct those amounts. On the other hand if your employer is unreasonable then you should probably insist on getting paid in accordance with the terms of your contract and at the same time it would be advisable to start looking for a new employer.

Do salaried employees get comp time or overtime in Mississippi?
Salaried employees can qualify for overtime based on their job duties - method of payment is irrelevant to that decision, only duties matter. Private employees can never get comp time in lieu of overtime. Government employees can't get comp time unless the employer offers it in a written policy. Governments cannot be compelled to offer comp time.
What is an exempt and non exempt employee?
Exempt employees are 'exempt' from federal overtime rules and regulations, based on specific qualifications put forth by FLSA rules. (Executives, professionals, etc.) Non-Exempt employees are paid by the hour, and are subject to federal overtime rules (time and a half, for all hours worked over 40 in a pay week.) All hourly employees are non-exempt, all exempt employees are salaried, but not all salaried employees are exempt. Salaried employees must pass specific FLSA criteria to be categorized as 'Exempt', and therefore exempt from overtime rules.
Do a salaried employee's pay change if one week he works 40 hours and the next week 32 hours do the pay change?
If an employee is salaried then they have a fixed amount of pay per pay period so working fewer hours per week wouldn't change the pay. It wouldn't really make sense for a company to reduce the hours of salaried employees in order to save payroll costs. Salaried employees have reached a level of professionalism where they don't punch a time card. If someone is keeping track of hours for an employee, then they are most likely NOT salaried.
If you work part time are you a salaried employee?
You can be, it depends. Whether or not you are a salaried employee is something that you should know based on the way you get paid and your work schedule. If you get paid hourly, you are not a salaried employee.Whether you are salaried depends on your job duties ... not on how often you get paid. All overtime exempt employees must be paid for full days. Still, one could work three or four days a week at a properly salaried exempt job and be a part-timer.
Can an employer require a salaried employee to use a vacation day in order to be paid for a company shut down?
Requiring salaried employees, or even union employees, to use vacation time if they want to be paid during a plant shut down is a common practice, and therefore presumably acceptable. The specifics, of course, will depend on the specific jurisdiction in which the company is located and the employee works.
