Docking a salary employee? -

I have an employee who was salaried every 2 weeks, he worked one full day, did not call or show up the next, then came in for 2 hours to get his paycheck and then quit, can I legally pro-rate his pay based on the actual hours he did work for his last paycheck? I would take his salary amount divided by the number of days he works, then divide that by how many hours a day to determine his hourly pay rate.

You should be able to do this. However, it is best to contact your local Department of Labor office, or a local attorney specializing in this area to ensure that you are correct. Don t rely on the words of strangers on the internet. You can start your search for the Department of Labor here:http://www.dol.gov/

That depends on your state s labor laws and your contract with the employee state.Consult your state s Department of Labor to find out what you can legally do in this case.
