I work in NJ, I get salary pay for a 40hr week, if i work OT during the week i get no compensation, I do get OT on the weekends but it's straight time only. NJ is good when it comes to things like this.

Being a human resource manager for a very large company (saralee)
Let me give you some info
If you are salaried, which means you dont punch a clock and thus are what they call Exempt, meaning you are exempt from FLSA rules (overtime pay etc...)
Most (80%) of salaried jobs require 50 hours a week. Check the Federal labor standard statistics or the BLS (bureau of Labor statistics)
Being exempt means you work until all the work is done, finite. Which means you may work 60-70 hours one week 35 the next, or consistently if laid out by your organization 50 hours a week.
Except for hourly positions the standard for salaried jobs is 50 hours a week.
As for docking pay for missing, you can be docked for a whole day if the employer so chooses and its in the state law, however there is no place in the US if you work a portion of the day and have to be off for w/e, can they dock you for pay. It send the message that you are paid hourly and not on slary thus screwing your FLSA status up.
Look for old lawsuits about burgerking getting sued for similar problems with determining whether a job was exempt or not.Last edited by TnDeathInc; 07-31-2007, 03:29 PM.Comment
