<br /> <br /> 34 <br />June 2025 <br />236096v1 <br />On Call Time For Exempt Employees <br /> <br />Exempt employees who are assigned on-call duty or pager duty do not receive additional <br />pay for that duty. The Utilities may, from time to time in its discretion, choose to assign <br />certain credit or rewards to exempt employees for performing such duty. <br />Deductions from an Exempt Employee’s Salary <br /> <br />The Utilities does not permit any payroll deduction unless it is approved by the Finance <br />Manager. Deductions from an exempt employee’s salary will only be made in good faith <br />and in compliance with applicable law. No manager or other employee of the Utilities has <br />the authority to order any deductions from an exempt employee’s salary without the <br />approval of the General Manager. <br /> <br />Federal and state law limit the deductions that may be made from the salary of an exempt <br />employee. The Utilities intends to fully and strictly comply with these limitations. Please <br />note that these limitations concern the amount of gross salary received on the paycheck; <br />but these are different from any limitation on deductions from an employee’s leave bank. <br />Further explanation of how this works follows below. <br />Important Definitions. <br /> <br />A deduction from salary is a deduction that results in a lower <br />gross pay amount on an employee’s paycheck. <br /> <br />A deduction from a leave bank does not result in a lower <br />gross pay amount on an employee’s paycheck, but, rather, <br />reduces the balance in the employee’s leave account; or, in <br />other words, reduces the amount of an employee’s accrued <br />and unused vacation or sick leave. <br /> <br /> <br />Permissible Deductions from Salary. <br /> <br />Absent contrary state law requirements or a specific employment contract executed <br />by a duly authorized representative of the Employer, the salary of an exempt <br />employee may be reduced for any of the following reasons: <br />• Full day absences for personal reasons. <br />• Full day absences for sickness or disability (which absence may otherwise <br />be paid through any sick time benefits available to the salaried employee, if <br />any). <br />• Full day disciplinary suspensions for infractions of the Employer’s written <br />policies and procedures. <br />101
