Can an employer force me to take a whole day off when I only need a half day?

My wife's employer will no longer allow her to work a half day (after switching to exempt status), as in, doc her paid time off (or pay if no PTO left). For example, we have family that lives out of state requiring flight to visit. After an upcoming visit, she requested a half day on her return to work. Initially approved, she is now being made to take a full day off work. Because since she is exempt, the employer claims they must pay her for the whole day if she comes in. This also applies to sick leave.
