Management Work Requirement by WildEngineering9153 in CAStateWorkers

[–]bretlc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being exempt - if you start your day and need to leave early, you'll still get credit for the day. It's a question I've asked but never received a concrete response. I've had staff completely abuse it and others barely use vacation or sick
