Hello! Im a supervisor at a poultry factory and i got this position dec 1 2024. I was never given any information on updated benefits. I was only told there would be a pay increase and that I would be a salary employee. No problem. Love it. Come this week, i took planned vacation for monday and Tuesday, come back to work Wednesday and we have a water line blow out so we have no production the following day, but i still have to work. So i work wed, thurs, fri, sat and use vacation monday and tuesday. Since i used vacation monday and tuesday, my employer doesnt want to pay me for working Saturday. I have gone through the employee handbook and it states under the vacation area:
“For additional guidance or clarification, employees should refer to the detailed vacation policy documentation provided to them or contact their manager or Human Resources representative.”
When I took this job, they never showed me this nor warned me about this. Is there anything I can do? I requested the detailed form from my boss, but she is off work now, so I doubt I’ll be able to get it today…

You are a salaried employee? Why would you get paid for working Saturday? Not sure why you are seeking legal advice.
INAL. That’s how being a salaried employee works. You get paid the same whether you work 40 hours or 80 hours each week. Welcome to management.
