Q: If salary employess and sick days exhausted can my pay be reduced

A: Double posted------More information is needed before one can intelligent respond to your question----information needed includes but is not limited to whether or not there is an employment agreement between employer and employee, anfd if so, how does it address this situation. Also, is the employee an at will employee----which in Louisiana, most employees are---and also what your job expects of your in order for you to earn your salary. Withthout this information, one cannot really address your post.

A: If you're a salaried employee and you've exhausted all your sick days, your pay can potentially be reduced, but this depends on your employer's policies and the labor laws in your jurisdiction. Generally, salaried employees are paid a fixed amount regardless of the number of hours worked, but there are exceptions, especially when it comes to extended absences from work.

Your employer's sick leave policy, as outlined in your employment contract or the employee handbook, should specify what happens when sick days run out. Some companies might allow you to take unpaid leave, use vacation days, or offer other forms of leave that could affect your salary. It's important to review these documents or speak with your HR department for clarity on your company's policies.

Moreover, labor laws in many regions provide guidelines on how employers can handle such situations. For example, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) in the United States offers certain protections for employees, but it doesn't require paid leave. If you're unsure about the laws and regulations that apply to your situation, it might be helpful to consult with a legal professional for advice tailored to your specific circumstances.
