<prompt> Human: So I recently got a new job that is a salaried position however I am classified as non-exempt. I understand how non-exempt works, I keep track of my hours and I have the benefit of being able to make overtime pay once I pass my 40 hour mark. What I am curious about, and I havent had anyone explain this to me in a worthwhile way, is what happens if I miss a day of work. The way that it was explained to me by a co-worker was that I dont get paid for the days I dont work, which in my mind means that I am an hourly employee, not salaried. I hear salary and I assume that I make X0,000 a year, whether I work a full 40 hour week or not. Ive been looking online and I havent found anything that answers my question.TL;DR if I am salaried non exempt, and I miss a day of work, do I still get paid or am I really hourly and I wont?  <response>: Do you have vacationsickPTOetc? If you do you just use one of those days on days you dont work and you still get paid for a full 8 hour day.If you dont get any paid time off then you are going to only be paid for the days you actually work and your paycheck will be adjusted appropriately due to the missed hours.
