Salaried employees who are exempt from the federal overtime law, must be paid for every DAY worked, not docked for hours missed, just days not worked.
A salaried employee is paid the same amount of money even though the hours worked may vary from pay period to pay period. True or false?
No, you should be compensated for the full day.
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.
A salaried employee gets paid a fixed amount regardless of the number of hours worked. Such an employee is termed as "exempt" meaning they are exempt from laws that require overtime pay. Being salaried can be positive in that the base pay is typically higher that what an hourly worker would make but the downside is the potential for many long hours beyond 40. There are always tradeoffs.
A salaried employee has the advantage of having special benefits, including bonuses, more time off and usually a lot more money. Unfortunately that also means a lot more work, usually as long as it takes to get the job done.
As a salaried employee who has researched sad to say there is no limit to the amount of overtime hours that can be worked in a week without overtime pay. This is a matter that is left entirely to be decided between the employer and the employee. However, an employee has the right to refuse to work overtime if they choose to.
At the BSW level it will depend partially if you are hired on an hourly wage or as a salaried employee (also will depend a bit on what state you live in). As an hourly employee you would be required to work 40 hours and if you worked more you would get over-time. If you are salaried you are not entitled to overtime (though some organizations will give comp time). You are payed to get a job done and if that requires you to work overtime then that is what you are expected to do. So it is less about what area you work in and more about what type of employee you are. I've seen government employees put in 60+ hours and mental health folks put in 40.

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.
To calculate basic wage, first determine the employee's hourly rate or salary. For hourly workers, multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours worked in a pay period. For salaried employees, divide the annual salary by the number of pay periods in a year. This gives you the basic wage for that specific pay period.
The record for the longest consecutive hours worked in a single streak by an employee is 186 hours, which is equivalent to 7 days and 18 hours.
