Regarding an exempt employee who receives accrued paid time off:
If an employee is told by the HR manager that he can use his paid time off before it is accrued, then changes the story, are their any remedies?
I was told that PTO could be taken before it was accrued. One day I had taken the day off (a loss of 8 hours) but the company was released after 4 hours AND paid. Originally I was told that my 8 hours for that day would be the start of my negative PTO. I was told that I would "owe" the 4 hours I had missed. (Based on what the managers had told me, I took other days off which I assumed were paid.)
When I review the handbook, it clearly states anytime that exempt employees take before it is accrued, will go unpaid. Would I have any remedy based on what the managers originally told me (and another employee)?
Thanks!
