Legal Question in Employment Law in Pennsylvania

Re: Can a company dock one days pay when you are a Salaried Employee?

You asked about time off.

Both of you are correct. The employer can give you time off but they can't really dock you for the day unless they have a policy of doing so. Such a policy would run the risk of having everyone subject to that policy evaluated as to exempt or non-exempt status.

A better bet would be to see if you can make up the time. Technically an exempt employee should be able to take off any time so long as the work gets done. (It's always been one of my pet peeves with exempt, they can demand you work more than 40 without coughing up overtime, but don't you dare work less than 40.)
