The short answer is "maybe". I'd want to know more about his job and duties in order to determine whether he's properly classifed as an "exempt" employee under the Fair Labor Standards Act. If he's "exempt", the employer can pay him on a salaried basis and he would not be eligible for overtime and other protections. Is he working in Pennsylvania? If so, Pennsylvania's laws, might afford him additional protections. Misclassification of employees as exempt when they should be non-exempt is very common.
