When an employer suspends an exempt employee without pay, the employer runs the risk of changing the employee s status to non-exempt and being liable for overtime pay, which can become very costly.s long as the employee performs some work during the pay period, he/she is entitled to his/her full salary amount for that pay period. Likewise, an exempt employee is not entitled to overtime, and will not be paid extra when he/she works more than 40 hours per week.
