    Default Is Salaried Assoc Auth Pay While on Reserve Duty

    My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: Florida
    I am a salaried supervisor with a major freight company and I am also a drilling reservist(veteran). My question is that if I am required to take 1-5 days off from my civilian employer so that I can meet a requirement for the military, am I required to forfiet my salary while I am away. If I am sick I get paid, if I have a Dr's appt I get paid. I thought that I read somewhere that if a salaried employee was out of work for any reason five days or less, their empoyer was required to pay them. I would just like to know, because when there are duties on a weekend we are not compensated for that time and I feel as if there is a double standard being carried out.
    Thank you in advance for any advice or help you may offer.

    Default Re: Is Salaried Assoc Auth Pay While on Reserve Duty

    Even if, by "salaried supervisor" you mean "exempt" (or even if you were nonexempt), no, the employer is not required to pay you when you are on reserve duty. I've had employees who were reservists and they saved their vacation for such time.

    The reasoning is that. although I thank you for your service, being a reservist is your choice; being sick is generally NOT your choice.
