My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: California.
Having spent most of my career in tech, I am used to a very free flowing workplace with hours kind of set as you please and accountability for work being results driven.
I am a now salaried employee for a luxury goods company in California.
Let me preface by sayingI am the kind of employee who spends nights and weekends from home working on projects because that's when I am most comfortable and in the zone.
My manager appreciates it, but frequently insists that I shouldn't do it. He has never told me I can't though and never asked me to stop.
My manager also spends a lot of time accounting for minutes and time spent in the office.
Just getting him to agree to let me work 8 to 5 because it works better for my commute was a pain.
When I want to leave early, he insists on me coming in earlier. Same goes for when I come late.
Now today the CEO sent this email to everyone in the company:
Please take PTO in no less than half-day (4-hour) increments (for hourly employees, increments as small as 2 hours are okay)
Please remember that our company does not have a work-from-home policy
On occasions when you need to arrive late to/or leave early from the office, please try to stay late/or arrive early to make up those hours
Now my manager has asked me to book 3 hours of PTO because I planned to leave early on Thursday to catch a flight.
Also, he said that I should book an hour of PTO for leaving an hour early last friday.
As an salaried exempt employee, I was not aware that I could be required to take PTO for taking a few hours off early.
-- Am I wrong?
-- Are they allowed to ask me to book PTO retroactively like this?
