Q: I am a manager for a contractor at FedEx. I am a salaried employee who drives a daily route. Am I entitled to overtime
Also I don't get paid for any extra days worked at all and if I miss a day of work due to being sick I get my pay docked. I do not get sick time just PTO time. Is any of this legal.
A:
In Wisconsin, whether you are entitled to overtime pay depends on various factors, including your job duties, responsibilities, and salary level. Salaried employees may be exempt from overtime pay if they meet certain criteria under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), such as being classified as an exempt executive, administrative, or professional employee. If you are not exempt, you may be entitled to overtime pay for hours worked beyond the standard 40 hours per week.
Regarding pay for extra days worked and sick leave policies, employment laws can vary. It's important to review your employment contract, company policies, and state labor laws to understand your rights. Docking pay for a missed day due to illness may be subject to state regulations, and the availability of sick leave or PTO can also impact the legality of such practices.
