I was hired as an exempt employee -responsibility included hire and fire people supervised 20 people etc. Contract stated "at will". Contract states "will be paid the usual salary regardless of scheduled or emergency closures."
Then states "upon termination compensation for past services will be recalculated on a daily rate basis for actual days worked in the office." This line seems illegal in that it violates a FSLA deduction law. It violates retroactive employment status which I understood could only do prospectively.
I quit.
Private sector. They are sending me a bill for the days the business was closed. My understanding from DOL is that an exempt employee is owed their salary if the business closes (regardless or quantity or quality). They paid me at the time and now want it back.
