I work for a not-for-profit organization and they have an internal goal of full time employee worked hours and to meet the goal they have told each department who many hours they are required to take off, either with vacation pay or unpaid each pay period to meet their internal goals. This goal does not have anything to do with productivity, it is purely based on an internal goal set by the Board. Am I mandated to take time off?
Store meets and beats sales goal but employee does not meet their individual goal.
My company is requiring all employees to work AT LEAST 48.5 hours per week, every week, reguardless of work load, until further notice, so that they can meet their “billable hours” goals. As a salaried (exempt) employee, I am not entitled to any extra pay for this extra work. Also, a vacation day is still only worth 8 hours, so if I take a day off, I still have to work 40.5 hours that week! This seems like abuse of the system to me. Are there any laws against this king of thing?
