Probably not. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) contains several exemptions to the overtime pay requirement, but most require that the employee be truly paid on a salary basis, which means (aside from a few very narrow exceptions) that he/she cannot have his/her pay docked when working less than a full day. To provide you with accurate advice, however, I would need more information. I would be happy to offer you a free initial consultation by phone.
