Complaint Procedure Regarding Improper Deductions
If an exempt employee believes an improper deduction has been made from their compensation, the employee should contact their HR Generalist via email or letter within 15 calendar days following the deduction so the issue can be investigated promptly and resolved.
Department of Labor Guidelines on Schedules and Work Days
The FLSA allows employers to require exempt employees to record and track time, require exempt employees to work a specified schedule and implement across-the-board schedule changes without jeopardizing the exempt status of employees. It is important to also consult applicable labor agreements for additional language and guidance.
