I recently started a new job and have been put on as salaried. I do the same job as I have at other employers (computer drafting). I am not in charge of a department nor do I oversee any other employees. There is another employee who basically does the same job as I do and is hourly. I have more years experience and make a bit more money because of that. My boss stated that since I make $50,000 that is his cutoff for hourly compensation and I must be salaried. I had a doctor's appointment last week and only worked 38 hours. My boss insisted that I take 2 hours of vacation time to cover the missed 2 hours work. Is this legal? Also should I even be salaried?
