It's so hard to find the answer for my question, it's driving me crazy.
I work in Illinois for a small business. For hourly employees, we are able to make time up on different days (come in on a weekend, stay late to make sure we get 40 hours). Management is also granting this to salaried employees as well, to one particular employee who will come in 6 days out of the week (he's an older guy that just wants out of his house I guess, he agreed to it and doesn't seem upset about it anyway). The issue is that is if he is off one or two days during the week, he doesn't take PTO like the hourly people do, he says he's “made up his time” because he works more than 40 hours every week. Except salaried people aren't paid on an hourly rate.
Example: He is requesting off 10/24 and 10/25 and instead of choosing a vacation or personal day to use, he's choosing “Trade for this day/hours”, which is what I would use if I was going to be off for like 4 hours and had to work an extra 4 hours some other time to make up for it.
I hope this makes sense, it feels like he's taking advantage of the system and no one in management is taking it seriously (he's also not the only salaried person doing this, he's just the only one doing it regularly). I can elaborate or explain more if this isn't clear enough I'm just incredibly frustrated.
