Which situation allows an employer to generally make deductions from a salaried employee's pay without forfeiting their exempt status under the salary basis test?
Answer
Absences for full-day personal leave when accrued leave banks are exhausted.
Limited exceptions permit deductions without losing salary basis protection, usually involving absences for personal reasons, such as taking full-day personal leave or sick leave when accrued leave banks are exhausted, or for serious safety rule infractions.
