Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

Just because you are paid a salary does not mean that you are exempt for overtime pay purposes. If you do not meet one or more of the "duties" tests under the Fair Labor Standards Act, your employer must pay you time and one-half for all hours worked over 40 in a work week. It is not unlawful for the employer to deduct your personal time off from your PTO balance, even though it is done in less than full-day increments, so long as your salary for those weeks remains the same. To properly advise you on whether your employer is required to pay you overtime, I would need additional information, which would not be feasible in a forum such as this.
