Q: Help understanding oregon labor laws for exempt

I was wondering if you can please clear up some really confusing things i am reading about oregon labor laws for exempt employees.

I am required to work over 40 hours as a teller supervisor in a call center in oregon. They say im a exempt salaried employee so i don't get overtime, but then they dock my pay if I leave early or take a day off.

Some things I read say they can't deny overtime and dock my pay like I'm hourly at the same time. Can you please help me do i know if I have to contact a lawyer. Thank you for your time and help

A: Generally speaking they cannot, but there are exceptions. See BOLI's technical FAQs for some general info: https://www.oregon.gov/boli/employers/Pages/salaried-exempt-employees.aspx

They cite to CFRs and OARs which can provide the actual rules.
