Salary worker docked for missed time, but not paid overtime
We just had a corporate company take over the dental office I work for. I was given the position of manager with a salary. They gave me an hourly wage increase to adjust for the overtime and bonus we were losing. I have over 30 hours of overtime not paid in the past 4 weeks. When I took 2 days off sick I was docked from my vacation time. I was told that if I clock out early I will lose that time. If I am out and do not have sick time or vacation time on the books I will be docked that time. Yet I am expected to work overtime and not be compensated for it. Is this legal? What is the advantage of being salary in this situation. I have never heard of such means of being salary. I am not guaranteed anything. I am in Florida and I do have to clock in and out. That is why I thought they kept track of hours to ensure that you are compensated when you are out for personal reasons or illness.
