Posts Tagged ‘Exempt Employee’
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?
I am a salaried non-exempt employee - I am paid hourly - my manager sets goals for me and based upon my attainment of these goals I receive an increase in pay. She has set the goal of doing volunteer work in the community on my own time. Is this legal? She told me I could not receive a full raise because I didn’t do this volunteer work. Can she legally mandate me to work and not pay me?
