I have a question regarding the interpretation of FLSA as it pertains to exempt employees. I think that I should have the ability to deduct pay from an exempt if they exceed the company allocated vacation days. I dont mind giving an exempt more company paid sick days if needed, but I don't want to give someone extra paid vacations days or personal time off days just cause the are exempt. And according to an interpretaion of FLSA that is what could happen. Your thoughts?

If the absence is due to the ee personal reasons, you don't have to pay if you have a time off policy and they have used up the allotment. It's time off due to the er reasons you have to pay anyway.

Shadow: I'm not sure I understand your last sentence. I'm not doubting you, just not sure what you meant.

Don and timcoleen - Ithink I had a senior moment, yes, that's it a senior moment. I should have said an absence for personal reasons greater than a day are deductible if absence is for personal reasons, and absences greater than a day if for sickness or disability after leave time has been exhausted. Any absence which is attributable to the employer's reasons are NOT deductible if the ee has done any work in that week. Thanks for checking up on me.
