Employers Can Dock Paid Time Off If Workers Don’t Meet Quotas, U.S. Court Rules

Per the suit, Bayada uses a system of “productivity points” to set its salaried employee pay scale. Salaried employees include registered nurses, physical therapists, and medical social workers among others. And at each salary grade, these employees are expected to accrue a certain weekly amount of points. Points correlate to tasks, with one point equal to an estimated 1.33 hours of work. If a Bayada employee fails to meet their productivity point quota, the difference between completed and expected work is subtracted from their banked paid time off, the plaintiffs claimed.
