If I am a salary exempt employee and I work two days during a week and miss the other three days can my employer deduct those three days pay from my paycheck?

Yes. Exempt employees' work time can be tracked in any unit the employer chooses, as long as the pay is calculated in units of not less than a day. So if you work part of a day, you must be paid for a day's work, but if you miss an entire day the employer is under no obligation to pay you for that day unless the terms of your employment provide for sick pay or vacation pay on the day you miss.
