An exempt employee may enter leave without pay for a partial day only when one of the following applies:
- does not work during an entire workweek
- is absent for one or more full days for personal reasons (not sickness or disability)
- is absent for one or more full days due to sickness or disability under a bona fide leave plan
- has received jury duty pay, witness fees, military pay, workers’ compensation, or other third-party pay
- violated a major safety rule and penalties are imposed
- receives a suspension of one or more full days for workplace conduct violations
- works only part of the first or last week of employment
- must hold a day of leave due to Sick Leave Bank annual donation rules
- has unpaid leave under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or part-time extended leave under State policy
If none of these situations apply, an exempt employee who works only part of a day and has no accrued leave must still be paid for the full day.
