Q: Is a home health care aide exempt from overtime. I am salary and work 50 hrs/week and get pay deducted when working less
I work for an agency. They put me on salary to not have to pay me overtime but I was told that is wrong and I should be paid overtime even though I am salary and also was told that they should not be deducting from my pay if I have to leave an hour or two early but they do deduct currently
A: You are more than likely entitled to overtime. Paying someone a salary, by itself, is not enough to overcome an employer's obligations to pay overtime. Please feel free to contact me to discuss this further.
