[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our policy.  2 days per week in office.  2 week pay periods.  You need to have 4 in-office days each pay period.  If you have fewer than 4 in-office days, each day missed being in-person is charged against the employee's PTO.  We will make an allowance if you were scheduled to come in on the last day of the pay period and had a conflict, in which case you are expected to be in the office either first or second day of the next pay period in exchange.  Employees are allowed up to 40 hours advanced leave (e.g. up to 40 hours if your balance is zero, which will be offset when leave is awarded for the next pay period).  If you hit -40 and still need leave, your day will be assigned as leave without pay.

As the supervisor, I will note and modify time sheets, as necessary to comply.  There are some people who just work the first four days of the pay period in the office and then stay home the other 6 days.  That's fine with me.  Employees are expected to behave like adults and follow the rules set for everyone.  We try to give leeway and allowance where we can, but do not allow people to completely abuse the rules.  You don't get to just choose not to follow the rules (which some people flagrantly do).[/quote]

You understand that if you change their time card from WFH to PTO after they have worked the hours that is wage theft. [/quote]

No, it is not.  These are exempt salaried employees.  They are not eligible for overtime.  It is only a question of whether the time is paid for by their primary billing code or their PTO code.  If you are not in the office the minimum number of days (and four days per time period is not really unreasonable), then you take PTO for one of those days.  If you choose to work on a day you have taken PTO, that's allowed.  But you will take one of your days of paid leave if you choose not to come in the minimum number of days in the office.

The alternative, to taking PTO is to voluntarily schedule a substitute day in the office like an adult.  You say that you will be in X day instead of today to make up the day that you are staying home.  [/quote]

You need to talk to your companies lawyer. Changing someone’s time card from paying to leave is wage theft. Whose policy is this, make them do it so you avoid jail time[/quote]
