thank you for the reply. - i am sorry if i am repeating myself here (just trying to get it straight in my head)
According to payroll the work week is 40 hours, being that I am an exempt employee, this does not really apply to me, I work what is needed. I understand that i can work more that the stated work week of 40 hours and still get paid the same. My issue is that if i work the min 40 hour week then we are told to take vac or sick time to reach his 48.
What I am confused about, is that the boss wants 48 hours min every week from the exempt employees. Payroll says that the pay is based on a 40 hour work week. Now if i work 40 hours one week, we are told to take 8 hours sick or vacation to make up the difference. (i worked the work week according to payroll) If i punched in and out for 40 hours, how can they make me take the vacation time? and then if I punched in and out for 40 hours how can they change the time on my paycheck to say 32 hours worked and 8 hours of vacation?
As far as I can remember I did not sign anything stating that the work week would be any different than 40 hours
I was under the impression that an exempt employee can work 42 hours one week and 60 the next? (assuming a 40 hour work week)
My immediate supervisor and payroll said that they thought this policy was illegal but that this is wait he wanted to be done.
