Salary employees?

Question

do salary employees have to clock in and out?

not paid for overtime....

is it required by law in california?? and also they cant make one salary employee do it and not all, correct??

Answer 1

An 'exempt' employee in California is not required by law to clock in and out. They are also not required to NOT do so. It is purely at the discretion of the employer.

Employers can require some, but not all exempt employees to clock in and out. In order to do so, the employees that do so must be in a different class than those that do not. California allows the employer to determine what the classes are, so usually as long as they are not men v. women, old v. young, etc. it is not discriminatory.

(As an aside, California is VERY strict about who qualifies as exempt. Unless you're a top manager, I'd bet you're getting cheated out of your overtime. CA law states that if you spend more than 10% of your time in "non-management" activities like helping customers, answering the phone, or lifting, you MUST be paid overtime).

Answer 2

Ask to see the contract. If it says they deduct for less than 40 hours but do not have to pay for more than 40 hours then you are stuck. Also look at what it says about company directed closures. If it says they can put you out for a week with no pay, you are stuck again. Lastly, you might check with the state employment office. Many states have laws regarding "salary" employees that prevent such actions as you describe above.

Answer 3

salaried employees that clock in/out are paid for overtime.

Answer 4

Usually non-exempt associates do, since they are paid for overtime.

Answer 5

In some companies, yes.
