Aug 9, 2019 at 19:40 comment added David K @BenBarden Our general rule on legal questions is that they are okay if an HR professional would be able to answer the question. So asking about an employment law would probably be okay, as in this case. Asking about a specific situation ("is it legal for employer to do this?") would not.

Aug 9, 2019 at 19:27 comment added DarkCygnus @mkennedy well... that seems like an answer to me...
Aug 9, 2019 at 18:47 comment added mkennedy Not an answer. My California-based company (with employees in multiple other states) paid exempt employees hourly. There was a law change and they stated they had to pay us a minimum of 40 hr/wk and you should work that much. If you fell below that at the end of year, you'd be having a talk with your manager and HR. They still pay us hourly. You can take unpaid leave which could drop you technically below 40 hr/wk average. Many employees establish minimum hours for benefits.

Aug 9, 2019 at 18:41 comment added Ben Barden It appears that this is a specifically legal question. We try not to answer those here.
Aug 9, 2019 at 18:33 comment added rob @sf02 We are not really in touch any more. This question has come up a few times when people at my company have worked fewer than 40 hrs, or when they complained about being required to work extra hours for training, etc., on top of their billable client obligations.

Aug 9, 2019 at 18:31 comment added sf02 Why can't you ask this lawyer for the specific passage?
Aug 9, 2019 at 18:30 comment added David K While this is question is about employment law and could possibly be answered here, I think it would be better suited at Law.
