Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I am a salaried employee, I come in an hour early every day at the request of my employer and work occasionally on the weekends. I don't get paid extra for all the extra work I do, however if I miss any time, they deduct from my vacation time. Is this allowed? In addition we are only given 3 days sick time for the year, I though as long as you didn't miss more than a week in a row, you couldn't be deducted for sick time. Finally our office closes for a week between Christmas and New Years, if we don't have vacation time we are forced to take a deduction. Is that legal?

If you are not fully treated as a salaried non-exempt, then you might be entitled to be paid hourly. Salaried are not supposed to have pay deducted. You can file a claim with the Labor Commissioner for unpaid compensation,penalties and interest, and can hire an attorney to represent you at the hearings involved. Feel free to contact me if serious about doing so.
