Serious HR Question That is Bugging Me
I'm salaried, been working for the same company just over 8 years. We are based in NJ.
Right now I have an on-going health problem, so I've been going to a specialist for different tests and consultations -- 3 times in the last 4 weeks. The specialist is hard to see after work hours, so I have little choice but to make a day appointment and leave work for 1-2 hours then I come back to work.
Well my employer deducts these hours automatically from my sick time. I have nearly 100 hours of sick time stored up (4 years straight I got perfect attendance award) -- so I'm not **** about losing time...but I am aggravated at the principle of it.
I spoke with several people online and off casually and they all seem to think its not legal for my employer to do so -- because I am salary.
Is this true? Should I be barging into my company's HR office all kinds of mad?
Or do company's have a right in the USA to set their own policies of this nature?
Please help -- I still have more doctor appointments because they can't find out what's wrong so if this keeps up my time will slowly drip away.
