Re: compensation law
employee is entitled to all time worked. if properly salaried, then only entitled to salary. if non-exempt from Wage and Hour law, then you should check with an attorney and I would be happy to discuss with you.
Re: compensation law
I believe an employer is required to pay a person on salary a full days pay for any day in which they did any work. If the employee worked less than a full day, the company can allocate sick time or vacation time to reach a full days pay. If the company/employee has no sick or vacation time, the employer must still pay the employee for a full day.
