For payroll purposes, the regular workweek for exempt employees of the Employer is defined as the week running from Tuesday morning at 12:00 a.m.to the following Monday morning at 11:59 p.m. The regular business workday for exempt employees is generally from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. or 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., unless a manager or supervisor has specified other expectations or arrangements. The Employer generally expects that an exempt employee will work forty or more hours in each workweek. Exempt employees are required to meet the Employer's attendance standards, which the Employer sets in its discretion. On Call Time For Exempt Employees Exempt employees who are assigned on-call duty or pager duty do not receive additional pay for that duty.

Deductions from an Exempt Employee's Salary The Employer does not permit any payroll deduction unless it is approved by the Finance & Office Manager. Deductions from an exempt employee's salary will only be made in good faith and in compliance with applicable law. No manager or other employee of the Employer has the authority to order any deductions from an exempt employee's salary without the approval of the General Manager. Federal and state law limit the deductions that may be made from the salary of an exempt employee. The Employer intends to fully and strictly comply with these limitations. Please note that these limitations concern the amount of gross salary received on the paycheck: but these are different from any limitation on deductions from an employee's leave bank. Further explanation of how this works follows below. Important Definitions. A deduction from salary is a deduction that results in a lower gross pay amount on an employee's paycheck. A deduction from a leave bank does not result in a lower gross pay amount on an employee's paycheck, but, rather, reduces the balance in the employee's leave account: or, in other words, reduces the amount of an employee's accrued and unused vacation or sick leave. Permissible Deductions from Salary. Absent contrary state law requirements or a specific employment contract executed by a duly authorized representative of the Employer, the salary of an exempt employee may be reduced for any of the following reasons: 24 November 2015 March 2017 142
