We have an exempt employee who lost her husband recently. She is working remotely from home for less than 20 hours per week and less than 8 hours per day. Can we put her on a reduced work schedule for a short period of time, until she feels capable

We have an exempt employee who lost her husband recently. She is working remotely from home for less than 20 hours per week and less than 8 hours per day. Can we put her on a reduced work schedule for a short period of time, until she feels capable to come back to work full time, and pay her only the hours she works remotely from home?
