Can I dock an exempt employee’s pay?
An exempt employee must be paid his full salary every week in which he works with the following exceptions:
* The first week he works if it is not a complete week
* The last week he works if it is not a complete week
* Any week in which he takes FMLA time
– if not made whole by vacation or sick time
* A week in which he takes an entire work day off
– that was not covered by vacation, personal or PTO time
* A week in which he takes a full sick day and he either:
– was not eligible for sick/PTO time under your company’s policy
– had exceeded sick/PTO time under your company’s policy
* A week in which he was suspended for a major safety violation
