I have a couple of questions kind of all rolled into one. I work in a company that is a small division based in michigan, that is part of a large international aerospace corporation. I am a designer there, which is an exempt-salaried position. Benefits include 80 hours of vacation pay which can be taken in 4 hour increments, and 40 hours of sick pay which are usable in 1 hour increments.
I work atleast 40 hours a week, but generally even more than that. I am payed on a bi-weekly basis, but it seems my pay is actually calculated hourly on my pay check up till 40 then the rest of my hours are ignored. If I work 4 days at 9-10 hours and only put in 7 hours on that friday, 1 hour is automatically docked from my sick pay. This is the first thing that seems wrong, especially if my sick time is all used up, should I be expecting them to actually start reducing my paycheck amount? Secondly, I have been warned inadvance that I need to have vacation time or sick time set aside for the end of the year. I recieve holiday pay for christmas, and new years, but thay shut the doors for the few days in between, and "force" you to use your vacation/sick time or not get paid? I feel like I am being cheated here. I put in all kinds of extra time, and I still don't even get to use my alloted time off at my choosing, not to mention they start deducting from it even when I have 40+ hours a week.
Thanks in advance for any advice or thoughts,
Brian
