Salary/Time calculations

[cindygmo]

An employer has explained that salaried employees need to work a minimum of 8 hr/day in order to be reimbursed properly. If staff works more tha 8 hr/day, "Thank you very much" but those hrs can not be counted toward the overall 80 hr/pay period. If employee does M-9hr, T-12hr, W-12hr, Th-8hr, F-5hr. Employee will be docked 3 hrs either sick time or vacation time (whichever is available). This does not sound accurate, but they say that the calculations are done this way due to company not having PTO policy.

Note: not all salaried employees are exempt - not all exempt employees are salaried.

Assuming that by salaried you mean exempt, there are no circumstances whatsoever in which the employee is entitled to a single penny over and above their regular salary no matter how many hours they work. It IS legal in all 50 states (with limited exceptions in California where the jury is still out on interpretation) for an employer to apply vacation or sick time to partial day absences. The only caveat is that when the employee runs out of vacation and sick time, they must still be paid for the full day if they work any part of it.

So based SOLELY on what you have posted, assuming that the employees are exempt, the employer is legal.

If the employees are salaried non-exempt, part of the answer is different so you will need to be specific.
