    Salary - Missed days deducted
    If you are being paid a salary wage and miss a 1/2 day or a full day for being sick. Can they deduct wages from your check?

    Sorry I'm not sure where you from but here in South Africa, you can be off sick one day without a doctor's note thereafter you have to supply a doctors note. If you have sick leave left they should deduct it from those days not from your salary unless you have no more sick leave days. Hope this helps.

    That depends on the company's policy towards sick time. It is definitely legal for them to do so, as long as its following a consistent policy for all employees.

    Deductions from pay may be made when an exempt employee is
    Absent from work for one or more full days for personal reasons, other
    Than sickness or disability. Thus, if an employee is absent for two
    Full days to handle personal affairs, the employee's salaried status
    Will not be affected if deductions are made from the salary for two
    Full-day absences. However, if an exempt employee is absent for one and
    A half days for personal reasons, the employer can deduct only for the
    One full-day absence
