I'm paid a salary and it's the first time I've ever had a salary job. Always been paid by the hour. Is it legal for my employer to not pay for days that I miss due to sickness or mandatory quarantine for covid? I always thought that was the best part about salary, you never had to worry about your check being less. I would much prefer to be hourly and get the chance at overtime but my new employer doesn't want to pay hourly for whatever reason.
