Can you make salaried employees work a set number of hours
Exempt Employees and the FLSA. Section 13(a)(1) of the FLSA allows employers to pay some employees a salary without meeting minimum wage or overtime requirements. Employers may ask an exempt employee to work as many hours as the job requires with no additional compensation, even when a work week exceeds 40 hours.Normally, employers canât reduce an exempt employeeâs salary if he works fewer than the usual number of hours.or example, if the employee is expected to work 36 hours but works 38 hours one week, the employer does not have to pay extra under the FLSA. However, some state laws do require extra pay. Under the FLSA employers can reduce the salary of non-exempt employees when they work less than the expected number of hours.
