<prompt> Human: I am required to attend a conference on a Saturday for work, and I will basically be required to be there from 7:30am until 8:30pm. However, they are saying that since it is on a Saturday, and I am an exempt salaried employee, they dont have to pay me for that time. If it makes any difference, I will be on vacation the week of the conference so not getting paid for any hours that week. I feel like that is not right, and that I should be paid for my time since it is not optional. Is there anything I can do about that? Is it actually legal to require me to attend without compensating me? Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.  <response>: Is it actually legal to require me to attend without compensating me? They already compensate you as an exempt employee.
