No the cannot. In fact, a programmer working for Vivendi Universal Games is suing his employer for working him overtime and not being compensated for doing so. They even went as far as saying that him and fellow colleagues were told to fill out false timesheets to say they worked less time than they actually did.

Can an employer make you work 6 days without pay if your salaried?

An employer cannot make you work ANY days without pay. Hourly workers get paid for every hour. Salaried-overtime - exempt workers get paid for whole days or not at all for a day. Work 1 hour and you earn a days pay. Work 20 hours in a 24-hour period, and you earn a day's pay.


What are the rights of a salaried employee in Alabama?

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 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.


Can salaried employees collect overtime pay?

What does salary position mean?

A salary (or salaried) position is one that pays you a set amount regardless of how many hours you work. For example, if you make a salary of $2,000 every week, you may work 30 hours or 60 hours. Non-salaried (wage positions) earn a per hour, so the more hours you work, the more money you make. Generally, salaried positions pay more.


What is the maximum hours employer can make you work if you are a salaried employee?

My position requires an average of 40 hours worked per week on a 5 day schedule. A month ago, I was given a new responsibility that requires me to work 8-10 extra hours a week. I am now working 6-7 days a week with no overtime pay. Is this legal?

You did not state whether you are an hourly or a salaried worker. If you are an hourly worker, your employer is legally required to pay overtime if you work over 40 hours. If you are a salaried worker, that may not be true. This information applies in Houston, Texas.
