If you are an exempt employee and you work on a Sunday, are you required to work Monday-Friday also, or are you entitled to take a weekday off with pay? I'm not getting extra pay for working on the weekend, so I would think that I could work 5 days that week, being Sunday- Thursday and receive my normal pay. Is this true?

I am pretty sure that being exempt, or salaried, you aren't paid by putting specifically 5 days of work in. You are paid by just doing your job. Most employers would probably be respectful and offer you a day off to compensate for the weekend day, but it's not mandatory. Maybe they won't give you a different day off, but maybe they'll take you out to lunch, lol either way, good luck?

NO.
I work 6 days a week and have for years. If you are an hourly employee and get paid by the hour, you are entitled to over-time pay which is time and a half for any hours over 40. It really depends on your pay plan and form of compensation. You can not work for less than minimum wage.

If you're in most states in the U.S. your employer isn't obligated to give you any off days. If you work more than 40 hours in your regular 7 day work period you are usually entitled to overtime pay for the extra hours. If you are a salaried employee you will not get paid for the extra hours in most cases.

The answer to this depends on the state you live in. Different states have different labor laws however most states follow the rule that if any employee exceeds working 8 hours for the day and or 40 hours in a week they must be compensated for overtime. Now different states allow for different loop holes but your local labor board would be able to answer your questions.

Depends on your company's policy regarding this.
Usually exempt means you work the needed extra hours and still work a regular 40 hr week.

No, that is what exempt means. If you get your skills up and work hard you can become a vaulable employee and start asking for time off when those situations arise, or you can threaten to leave and go to a company who will offer some compensation or time off. Work hard and you can start making demands.

If you are salaried they can have you work as many hours as they need you. If you are hourly you have a minimum number of hours you have to work in order to get paid 40. My co workers have called off sick, then were off the next day as their regular day off. It happens. Some companies let you take a vacation day to make up lost time if you are out of sick days. Your friend may have to work saturday to make up one of the 2 days they were sick since they are normally off only 2 days a week.

It depends on your industry standard. Some industries have a 40-hour-per-week expectation; some expect 50 or more.
Make sure Friday is okay to take off, just in case.

I have been there before .If you work weekends, you are required to take one of the weekdays off. It depends on the type of business it is and when is it the busiest time.

No, you are exempt- he has no obligation to give you a day off- though many places will.
