<prompt> Human: Hey guys, I work for a small company and I am in a salaried position. Ive been in this position for 7 months now. This week I received a text from my boss asking for the hours Ive worked in this pay period, and I told her I was salaried and it should resemble 80 hours for the two weeks. She freaked out and told me to count them up and give them to her ASAP, so I did so and gave her the 62 hours I worked in the period. I just received my check and it is for the 62 hours I worked, not the normal amount I receive.I dont think this is legal, what can I do about this? Does she have the power to suddenly switch me like that? Edit: Since a lot of people are questioning why I only worked 62 hours, its because its the nature of my work. Were a small pesticide company, sometimes we have big orders that come in and Im working 70 hours a week on producing things. Sometimes, we dont get many orders and I work less than 40 hours. We agreed on a set salary in order to compensate for those differences and I have it in a contract.  <response>: Agreed with ut2231, they cant just change your status without giving your notification about it first.Thus, if you were salaried this pay period, you get salary. For a non-current pay period say the one starting after this current one they can do whatever they want, including firing you.Talk to your boss and make your opinion known. If they fail to do anything, report it to the department of labor as uBlitheCalamity said.
