Mandated work schedule for exempt managers

shackmorris · October 2003

We have a Director who wants to require that his managers work six day weeks until a particular goal is accomplished in each of the manager's respective areas. Some managers will probably accomplish this goal sooner than others. My question is since we consider these managers exempt under the executive exemption and they are paid to perform a job, can we mandate that they work a specific schedule. Currently, most of these managers work a 5 day work week but will occassionally work an additional day on their own choice. Some managers have voiced concerns of being required to work an additional day. I've tried a few websites but cannot find a specific answer. Any help or guidance is appreciated.

Happy Wednesday

You can work them 8 days a week and 30 hours per day - they are exempt and get to go home when the work is done.

Thank you both! I thought so but was told by a coworker that we could be compromising the exempt status by mandating a specific work schedule.

Have a good day
