My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: South Carolina
My employer recently sent out the following notification: “We have decided to implement reduced work schedules. Employees impacted by this decision will be placed on 32-hour work schedules with corresponding adjustments in pay.” What is the policy for exempt employees if more than 32 hours are worked in one week? I currently work more than 40 hours a week to do my job now at full salary. Today HR told me that there is no change in pay above the 32 hours, so it seems to me that I will be expected to maintain my same productivity (and beyond 40 hours of work) for a 20% reduction in pay even though they are claiming a 32-hour work schedule.
