Can a salaried employee take two days off?

Salary employment law says this is a PTO issue as well. If you take off two days in the week, I’ll use two days of your PTO. However, if you’ve used all of your PTO and available time off, then the FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) will allow me to dock you the two day’s pay. The rules about this are very strict.

Can a salaried employee deduct PTO time?

Thus, if a salaried employee uses up all his PTO time and then misses work, you may deduct only in full-day increments. If he or she misses a partial day, no deductions can be made.

How often does a part time employee request time off?

Because she is part time, she does not get PTO, but that doesn’t stop her from requesting time off (without pay) fairly often — approximately two or three shifts per month.

Can a salaried employee deduct paid time off?

Note with #1 and #2: Under a written paid time off (PTO) policy, you can deduct time from the bank for partial days missed (e.g., in hourly increments), but not if it results in a reduction of pay. Thus, if a salaried employee uses up all his PTO time and then misses work, you may deduct only in full-day increments.

Do you have to pay salaried employee for time off?

If the exempt employee is away because of a sickness or disability and the employer has a benefits plan to compensate her, the employer doesn’t have to pay her for those days, even if the benefits plan doesn’t compensate her. Employers may also deduct pay from a salaried employee if she takes time off under the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act.

Can a salaried employee take time off for a doctor appointment?

A salaried, non-exempt employee takes time off for sick days, doctor’s appointments or medical leave and gets paid 100%, no questions asked. The time for the doctors appointments is not deducted from her paycheck, nor is she required to make up any missed hours.

Thus, if a salaried employee uses up all his PTO time and then misses work, you may deduct only in full-day increments. If he or she misses a partial day, no deductions can be made.

What happens when an employee asks for time off?

When time-off is requested, the days are subtracted from the bank. The grey area, however, is managing unrequested time off. Salaried employees don’t punch a clock, so there is more fluidity in their days. They may come in late or leave early, or take extended lunches or run errands. Many times, they’ll do this without notifying their supervisors.
