Timekeeping Exempt Employees

a few of our exempt employees seem to work an awfully short day, so to cure this problem we would like to keep track of their hours, requiring them to put in a full 40 hour week. Can we do this? What if we want them to work a 45 hour week? Is it legal to dictate a minimum number of hours over 40?

It's fine to keep track of exempt employee's hours, though some employees feel it is a slap to their exempt status. Time sheets for exempt employees should record sick days, floating holidays, vacation time, jury duty, bereavement, and other absences.You can't dock their pay if they work less than they are supposed to.
You can also require exempt employees to work specific hours, even over 40 in a week. Again no pay docking for violation - must use other form of discipline.
This may give you more insight a little quicker
