(again, it IS illegal, but oh well) But the big companies, who actually can afford to pay overtime will probably be overjoyed to learn that they can just keep that money. I'm hoping this isn't true. what a rip. 1963 Moving Target Champion I am only a patsy... |

I think that's the issue. The place I was talking about applied the hours later but didn't pay you overtime pay. (as in, you worked more than forty hours a week and still only got paid for the forty hours until it could be tacked on later, but at the regular rate instead of the time-and-a-half you're supposed to get for overtime) Last Edited by 'Lil Lee Harvey on 05/12/2013 11:18 AM 1963 Moving Target Champion I am only a patsy... |

That sounds like when cell phone companies use "rollover minutes". That is totally rediculous. This is exactly why people formed unions back in the day. 1963 Moving Target Champion I am only a patsy... |

Just like the recession in 2009 they have no choice but to ask for assistance. Also, as much as some employers wish this would motivate their employees to work harder to keep their jobs it usually does the exact opposite and their turnover starts to sky rocket. What a mess. |

Most people milk the overtime system, its just like government cheese. In any event, the new wave of immigrants coming to America won't want overtime anyway. They will gladly do the blue collar jobs for a fraction of what's paid now. What will all the cops and lazy government/state/town employees do when they can't milk the system anymore??? Lol, sucks to be blue collar. |

Although my employer allows us salaried employees to bank comp hours if we do work more than 45 hours in one week (or if we have to work nights or weekends for emergencies) I personally like the ability to bank additional time off. It gives me another 2-3 weeks per year of vacation time most years. The money made by time and a half OT pay has some of our hourly workers taking home a fraction of that money because it usually bumps them up several tax brackets for that pay period |
