Answer to Write-ups and Withholding Pay (Salaried Employees)

Withholding Pay for Salaried Employees

This policy may destroy any exemption to the overtime pay requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) that the company has for these employees. In other words, if salaried employees have their pay docked, and if they worked more than 40 hours in a workweek, then that docking can result in the employee having a claim for unpaid overtime. There are very specific instances where a company can dock a salaried employee and not jeopardize the exemption to the overtime pay requirements of the FLSA. For example, if an employee is sent home for violating a safety rule of major significance, then the employer may not lose the exemption.

Answer to Unpaid wages from Nov. 07

Unpaid Wages from Nov. 7

Hopefully you have been paid by now. If not, then you would at least have a Federal Minimum Wage claim for the 25 hours that you worked. In addition to that, you may be entitled to liquidated damages in the same amount. Now, you may have additional remedies in Ohio in addition to the federal claim. Generally, your paycheck is due on your regular scheduled payday.
