Full day deductions from pay that are permitted by law include, for example, deductions for personal time off, sick days before or after eligibility for paid sick leave, or for infractions of written workplace conduct rules including but not limited to any rule or policy set forth in this Handbook. Full or partial day deductions may be made from the salaries of exempt employees for infractions of safety rules of major significance and in certain other limited circumstances. 20 August 2018 January 2020 93
