    Salaried Manager using time clock
    I am being told that it is California state law for a salaried manager to clock in and out from work. My previous employer did not make me do this and it was at a much larger corporation. Now this smaller one that I work for, says that it is the law. I don't believe it is. Do I have to clock in and out as a salaried manager?

    Not by law, but by company policy. There is no law that prohibits a company from requiring salaried employees to record time for attendance and production purposes. The company is just passing the buck by saying it's the law, but they don't need to. They have the right to require it as long as its applied equally.

    Thank you that is very helpful! But they are saying it is for Workers Comp purposes. That if I was to get hurt, and was not clocked in, than I would not be covered under workers comp. Does that make sense?

    Sure. Like I said, a company can require you clock in for a variety of purposes. One of them is to show you were actually on duty during that period. Its possible that CA Worker Comp law requires that.

    They can require you to clock in and out as long they are not basing your pay on those hours! In other words, they cannot require you to work an even 8 hours a day to get paid 8 hours per day. You could work 6 hours and be paid for 8 or work 10 hours and get paid for 8. Get my drift. They can get in lots of trouble if they are basing your pay on hours worked if your are salary. They should be only having your clock in once per day really or they should not be calculating hours at all based on your clockings!

    I am salary and my employer just requires us to clock in once a day anytime. No out, just in.
