US Court Rules Employers Can Dock PTO for Missed Quotas
TL;DR
A U.S. appeals court has ruled that employers can dock salaried employees' paid time off if they fail to meet productivity quotas, in response to a class action lawsuit filed by workers from Bayada Home Care. The judges decided that paid time off doesn't count as compensation and that no American employee, salaried or otherwise, is entitled to paid leave. The ruling could have broad implications for employee benefits if other companies adopt a similar strategy.
