The only reason that I know of that they can deduct pay for holidays is if there is something in the company rules that says you have to work the day before or after a holiday to get the holiday pay. Otherwise salary should not be deducted for any reason unless the employee agrees to take an unpaid leave of absense for some reason.

If you are a salaried non-exempt employee can your employer deduct partial days from your pay?
AnswerA non-exempt employee is an hourly paid employee. Therefore, he is paid according to the time he works; no more, no less. An exempt employee is a salaried employee who gets paid the same amount regardless of how much he might go over 40 hours in a week. As for if the exempt employee gets paid for taking off half a day, it depends on the wage and hour laws of the state. ************The information stated above is correct, however, it does not answer the specific question being asked. The above question is asking about a SALARIED NON-EXEMPT employee and not a SALARIED EXEMPT employee. There is a difference.Dealing only with non-exempt employees, yes, generally a non-exempt employee is an hourly paid employee who is paid for the actual hours they work. There can also be SALARIED FOR FIXED HOURS non-exempt employees and SALARIED FOR PARTIAL HOURS non-exempt employees. These positions are paid a set amount per week, with anything over 40 hours being paid time and a half. e.g. If they work 35 hours in a week they still get the full salary amount. If they work 42 hours in a week they get the full salary amount plus two hours overtime. The Department of Labor has a lot of information on these positions.If you are a salaried non-exempt employee, I do not believe your employer can deduct for partial days worked. If you miss work because of sickness, leave of absence or can't make it in, then a full day deduction may apply.

Certainly. Employees have no expectation of privacy unless the employer explicitly offers it or a statute compels it. HIPAA does not apply to employers, and ADA does not deal with sickness, ONLY permanent impairments.
Can an employer take out time from my hours worked for breaks that I don't get?
An employer can require you to take breaks, but cannot deduct time for breaks and then prevent you from taking breaks. If time is being deducted for those breaks, you must be allowed to take the breaks. However, if you have decided not to take breaks because you want to be paid more money, then that is your own doing, it is not the employer's fault. You are being given breaks, so take your breaks. Requirements for breaks vary by jurisdiction (which is to say, the law doesn't work the same way in all locations) but it is quite usual that there is a labor regulation that requires employers to give breaks to employees, and if employees don't take those breaks, it will then appear that the employer is breaking the law. That's why the employer may insist that you take breaks.
Should employees be paid for attending mandatory meetings?
Employees SHOULD be paid for mandatory meetings. If an employer calls for a mandatory meeting on an employee's day off, or not during his scheduled shift, it should be considered the same as being called in to work. Said employee has to give up his time as well as transportation costs to attend the meeting for which the employer can reprimand or retaliate, if the employee does not attend (mandatory meetings only). Thus, if an employer calls you in to a "mandatory" meeting, you should be REQUIRED to clock in. This protects the employer as well as compensates the employee for cost of transportation and giving up his free time.

Deductions can be for taxes (federal and state) and social security. Some employers will also deduct for uniforms and any other items you might need to do the job. However, you should be notified of this in advance. If your income is being garnished, that is a result of a court order. Your payroll office should have a copy if you don't.
Is being monitored at work okay?
Yeah, absolutely OK because it is the right of employer to monitor its employees at work place only to maintain the efficiency of his workers but such monitoring should not be there in the personal lives of employees or without letting them know that they are being monitored. Like the owner of francewholesalers.com ensures her employees that they will not be monitored without letting them know.
