I work in New York City.
I have been with my company for about 7 years and was recently promoted and changed to salary. If I have to leave early for an appointment I get hours taken away from my vacation time.
Are they allowed to do this? If I am a salaried employee and don't get overtime for EXTRA hours worked, doesn't that mean that my check should also not be altered for a few hours NOT worked. I'm still getting paid for the hours... but I dont want it coming out of my vacation hours...
Please help

Salaried exempt must be paid for the whole day if they work part of the day.

Vacation is not mandatory and the employer does not have to pay it. So the employer may say when it may or may not be used.

The Department of Labor says the salaried exempt must be paid for the whole day if they work part of a day. They do not care from which pot it is paid. The employer is allowed to pay this time with vacation pay.
