    Employer closed business
    I am a salaried employee. So far I have always been paid in full whether working over time or "under" time. However, my boss decided to close the business for a full week at Christmas. He told me I would not be paid for that time (if I had vacation time I could use it). I have researched labor laws and do not think he can legally do this. What do you think?

    Yes, he can do this. If he does not have his business open but closed for the holidays he does not have to pay you. My boss closed the office Tuesday at 1PM and is not reopening the business until Monday at 9AM. I am not going to be paid for the time off except for Xmas day.

    If the employer closes the business for a whole week than you do not have to be paid for it, if you have vacation time it may be used if the employer okays it.

    If you work one day in that week than you must be paid for the whole week. Vacation pay can be used, but is there is no vacation pay and you are salaried exempt you still must be paid if it is less than a week that is closed. For example if the employer closes the day after Christmas you must be paid for both Christmas and the day after although he is allowed to use Vacation pay to pay you.
