I recently had a co-worker tell me that "exempt" (or salaried) employees can simply call into work, check on how things are going, give a few orders for what needs to be done, hang up the phone, and they've completed a day's work.
I find it hard to believe that such law exists that you can simply make a 5 minute phone call, and you're considered having worked that day. We live in Alabama, and the state has very few labor laws, and simply abides by all federal laws. I've already checked the Alabama labor law information and found nothing even close to this...so, I was wondering if anyone had anymore information or if they've ever heard this before.
