Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Re: Non-payment of salary employee

Nope. The only way to deduct pay for misconduct from salaried employees is to suspend them for an entire workweek and not pay for the week. (Unless they violate a major safety rule.)Otherwise, the Fair Labor Standards Act (usually known as the overtime law) prohibits pay docking for salaried (as opposed to hourly) employees.

The same is true for partial day medical and personal appointments. Pay may not be docked for salaried people.
