Salary Pay Question

Sounds like a good boss pushed to far by a greedy employee to me unless there's more to the story ... You want full pay checks work full hours simple

 

"When I asked my boss for these days off, I asked him personally if taking these days off would affect my salary. He said NO. I have made THREE PRIOR paychecks, and also have taken scheduled days off within those paychecks, and they've never been deducted. Now all of a sudden this one gets deducted? He told me it wouldn't"

Sir, you just told everybody online that you expect pay without work. You may get your question answered but ####! -You just described your work ethic to the whole internet world. Your boss paid a new guy for time off he just hired. I would thank him repeatedly, you won't find many like him. -And no means go online and put it as if he is in the wrong. If you went down the road on US 131 to the trucking company I work for, you would have everyone laughing.

I highly suggest you delete your post ASAP. Unless you enjoy the attention.

 

Taking time off if you don't have any paid leave time from my understanding can be deducted from your salary.Dont think he has to show the deduction its not viewed as a deduction just what you made that pay.

 

Uh, that's the whole point of salary. When you need time off, you get paid. When you have to a bunch of extra hours, you don't get paid more. There are limitations both ways in a reasonable working relationship but defining that is one of the big problems of a salary.

 

Working for a "small company" is frocked with many disadvantages and a few advantages. This is one of the disadvantages and you're probably not going to get a lot of empathy here or with your state labor board on such a matter. Then, throw in "salary" into a trucking job and you're really setting yourself up for lots of unpleasant surprises.

 

Salaried = same pay every week regardless of hours worked.
Hourly = paid by the hours worked.

Your boss needs to decide how you are being paid, and stick with it.

 

Salaried if you work the bosses expected amount of hours not because you took extra time off to shop for your daughter's tutu on a Wednesday

 

Well according to the fair labor standard act (flsa).An employer has the right to deduct pay for missing work.

 

I want a $1200/wk salary in exchange for making myself available for anywhere from 3 to 5 days a week for work, depending on my mood.
