An employer cannot make deductions for absences of an exempt employee due to jury duty, serving as a witness or military leave. The employer may offset any amount received by an exempt employee as jury fees; witness fees or temporary military pay for a particular week against the salary due for that particular week. The employee need not be paid for any workweek during which he or she performs no work; for example, when an employee is on temporary leave for military duty for the entire workweek.
