I am a salary employee with an employment contract that reads : “regular hours of work are ... (they are listed) . If the employee is away from work due to unforeseen reason that the hours will be made up at a different time that is mutually agreed to by the employee and employer”.
As the employee I have been recording my hours and keeping track of “owed” hours. My employer has asked me to start docking my pay a few hours per pay cheque to make up for the hours I owe due to being off a few days due to illness (I do not have paid sick days listed on my contract). Do I have to do this in lue if working those hours owed or can my employer only ask my to “repay” those hours by working the hours off at a “mutually agreed upon time” as per the contract.
