Pay for Exempt Employees with Negative PTO Balances
10/18/2011 / 10:50 am    #1

Our Company has a PTO policy for all employees (exempt and non-exempt) that allows employees to accrue PTO hours each pay period. When a non-exempt team member is out of work, they receive their base compensation and the hours away from work are deducted from their respective balance.

When a non-exempt employee takes a day off without a PTO balance to draw from we give them the option of going negative on their PTO or taking the days off unpaid. However, when a non-exempt employee takes off a partial day and they do not have the PTO balance to cover it, we pay for the day and let their PTO balance go into the negative. There have been some issues with the way we handle this policy in that we have another policy that states an employee cannot go into the negative on PTO. You can see the obvious conflict.

How has your organization handled this? Since we cannot 'short pay' an exempt employee for the partial day they worked - we find ourselves violating another Company policy regarding carrying a negative balance. I'm curious how other Company's work this out. I have suggested removing the policy regarding the negative balance, but this opens a new can of worms. Suggestions or comments are welcome and appreciated!
