Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Laws for a Salaried Employee
What are the state laws for saleried employees in CA? Especially pay being docked for a few hours here and there? (pro rated). Do I have to use vacation or sick time? Does a salary emp. accrue sick time, or are they paid their salary regardless? If a salary was agreed upon for a 46 week year, can I be required to work those other weeks when the office is closed for the same salary? If I miss a few hours, am I required to make up those hours for in order to receive the same pay? In a nutshell, What does Salary mean?

it is illegal to dock hours on a salaried employee
Re: Laws for a Salaried Employee
The first issue is whether you qualify as a salaried exempt employee. Employers frequently make errors in establishing salaried status. You would be well served to discuss this issue with an experianced employment lawyer so an analysis can be made of your particular situation.
