Question

I am a salaried employee and I took 2 days off in my 2 week pay period that was approved. Before I left work today, my boss told me the owner of my company will not pay me for those days and they will be deducted from my salary. There is nothing in writing explaining that a salary will be deducted and I would not have taken time off had I been informed this would happen. Can they do this?

Answer

Hello. Agreements at times are made orally. Further detail would need to be known in order to advise you appropriately. You may or may not want to bring your issue to an attorney at this time.
