Docking pay documents

shepworth · August 2005

In a training I was doing this morning in regards to exempt ees, I was corrected when I said you cannot deduct a full day's pay (or charge to personal/annual time)for 3 hours missed for a doctors appointment. Am I wrong & does anyone know where to find the direct ruling?
Thank you as always for your info...

Please clarify, You are deducting a full days pay for missing 3 hours?

This should be docking 3 hours for 3 hours missed. Sorry.

Thanks for clearing that up. If you have a bona fide time off plan, you can deduct from the leave banks for time missed from work.

In our shop, I would deduct Dr.s time from sick leave or personal time from annual leave. We don't have PTO. In a PTO situation, I would deduct fromt the PTO bank.

I admit to being a bit unclear about what to do if the leave banks have been reduced to zero and additional time is taken, but my recollection is that you can still deduct when you have the bona fide plan.

Perhaps some of the other forum folks can chime in and refine these answers.
