If an exempt employee has exhausted all of their vac and sick time, can they be docked for a full day if they are out for a full day for any reason?

In general, exempt employees must be paid their full salary for any week in which they perform any work, regardless of the number of days or hours.

There are, however, several instances where deductions from pay are permitted: for absences of one or more full days for personal reasons other than illness or disability; for absences due to illness or disability if the deduction is made in accordance with a bona fide sick or disability plan; to offset amounts paid for jury duty or military pay; for unpaid suspensions imposed for infractions of major safety rules or workplace conduct rules; for absences during the first & last weeks of work; & for leave taken under FMLA.

Note that except in the case of FMLA, no deductions are to be made for partial day absences, even if the reason for the absence falls under one of the categories above.
