Exempt salary employee has been laid off due to lack of work
I am an exempt salary employee and was just informed I was being laid off. I get paid on a bi-weekly basis. Is the company required to pay me my full bi-weekly salary amount if I worked part of one week, or a full week of the two-week pay period?

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (and Michigan wage laws), an employer is generally permitted to pay a prorated amount based on the days or hours worked for the last pay period worked. However, the employer must pay for all time actually worked on a regularly scheduled payroll. If you are seeking advice on an individual circumstance you should contact a lawyer. We are living and working through an unprecedented time. Employment lawyers are fielding many calls to help employees through compensation questions, medical leave rights, and unemployment benefits.
