In PA., as an exempt employee, can my employer use my PTO if I leave early 2 hours one day, even though I've already worked 45 hours in the week?

I generally work between 42 and 46 hours per week as an exempt employee. (manager) I recently had to leave 2 hours early one day and my supervisor took 2 hours of PTO out of my PTO bank to cover it even though I worked 45 hours that week. Is this legal in Pennsylvania?

Department of Labor regulations allow deductions against a predetermined salary for an absence of one or more full days for personal reasons or for sickness or disability in accordance with a bona fide plan or policy. See 29 C.F.R. sec. 541.602.
