Answer

You have rights relating to overtime wages, back-pay, and vacation pay under federal and state law. Discuss you case with an attorney.

Answer

I think what you are saying is that your boss took time away in the form of vacation pay for hours you were not at work. If you are exempt and salaried, this is not allowed. Additionally, although employers in Illinois are not required to provide vacation time, they are required to follow certain rules once they purport to offer vacation time to their employees.
