Re: Payroll deductions for exempt employees in California
Your question is very broad. In general, exempt employees are paid a fixed salary regardless of the hours worked in a particular day. Deducting hours from employees classified as exempt is generally not permissible. You may also be incorrectly classified as an exempt employee.
