good practice
not only is it lawful for salaried employees to punch the clock, but it is good employer practice. many laws require information about employees' time, such as qualification for family leave, time taken for rerquired rest and meal breaks, and other such information. an employer is remiss if it does not require good time records of all its employees.
your employer has the right to deny you holiday pay, even if you are a salaried employee, if you do not work the required other days. holiday pay is not required by law. it is a matter of company policy. by the same token, the company can have certain prerequisites before it pays for a day off.
