Exempt employee mandatory overstaffing in Ohio
Can we as an employer require an exempt employee to take mandatory time off if there is not enough work, but the employee is willing to work? If so, is the employee required to take AL time to cover the time off?
Yes, an employer can require employees to take mandatory time off if there is not enough work in Ohio. This is a form of temporary layoff, and it can apply to one employee, or to a number of employees. It can apply to salaried workers as well as hourly ones. IThe employer can legitimately require that workers use their vacation time or annual leave during a temporary work stoppage or layoff. As long as the employer does not apply this policy in a discriminatory manner, it’s legal. The employee may be entitled to unemployment benefits during this period.
