Salary issue

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MD
Can an employer deny a salaried employee a days pay due to a new company policy that was never signed off and agreed upon. The issue is not meeting the daily requirements of the new policy.

It depends on whether or not the employee is exempt (not all salaried employees are) and also what the policy is.

Whether the employee "signed off" on the policy is irrelevant. An employee's signature on a policy means that they have been advised of the policy, not that they are agreeing to abide by it. They are subject to their employee's policies whether they sign off on it or not.

However, an EXEMPT employee can only have their pay docked in limited circumstances. We need more information to know if they exist.

What are the limited circumstances that pay can be docked from me? Also the company that I work for sells products that are out of code that seems to me at the very least unethical.
