that's the law anywhere. EXCEPT if you're working a seasonal job (like at a theme park), where you can work up to 1800 hours with no oevertime

Actually, full time education (For reduction of Council Tax) , is more than 16 hrs. If you want to claim for doing part time (Social Payments), then it must be less than 16 hours.

I am a full time Mom- I spend 24 hours a day / 7 days a week...no holidays no sick time. ;) .... I am a photographer.  I spend about 6 hours a month doing that(split up into half hour sessions)  Plus I am an AVON Ind Sales Rep.  I spend about 6 hours a week doing this.  I try to do as many little things as possible so I can enjoy my children while they are little.

Labor and Employment Rights\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nAttorney General Lisa Madigan advocates, legislates and litigates for Illinois workers and labor unions. \n\nThe Office of the Attorney General also is responsible for prosecuting cases referred from the Illinois Department of Labor. Madigan's Labor Law Unit in the General Law Bureau handles about 1,500 of these cases. Referrals to the Attorney General's office concern violations of the Illinois Minimum Wage Law, the Illinois Prevailing Wage Law and the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act. The Labor Law Unit also enforces the Department of Labor's administrative subpoenas when the Department of Labor attempts to investigate Prevailing Wage Act violations. \n\nAdditionally, the Attorney General's Labor Law Unit defends claims of age, sex or race discrimination and other employment-related allegations brought by current or former state employees against their employing agency or other individual agency employees. \n\nLabor and Employment Links and Documents \n\nLabor Law Guide for Illinois Law Enforcement \n\nEmployment Rights of Persons Discharged from Military Service  \n\nLabor and Employment Contact Information \n\nOffice of the Illinois Attorney General\nAttn: Cara Smith \nJames R.

It depends on where you work. Some places round to the quarter hour and some round to the nearest half hour, etc. If you round to the nearest quarter hour and work from 6:05 am to 6:17 pm, 6:05 would round down to 6:00 and 6:17 would round down to 6:15. That would mean that you worked 12 1/4 hours.

Point One: Did you get your agreement in writing?\nPoint Two: Overtime pay is a federal law, not a contractual agreement. If you are not exempt from the overtime requirements (due to your job duties) then they have to pay you overtime. If you can "earn overtime" after 6 months it sounds to me as if there is something funny going on.....\nPlease check out the Department of Labor homepage at www.dol.gov to learn more about wage and hour laws.\nFor information on employment contracts, if you got one, call an employment law attorney in your area. \nFor information on specific regulations in Illinois Unemployment Compensation, contact the Employment Security Comission in your town. They can give you the scoop right from the horses mouth.

I think that would depend on what state you live in. I think they all have different laws about what can and can't be done work wise. When he was hired, did they tell him how he would be paid? Does he have enough work everyday to carry him over 42 hours? Or is the company trying to 'cut back'? I would call the labor dept. and find out or even see if there is a Federal Dept. that could help. Is there an owner of the company or a District Manager or main office you can call? In Georgia, an employer can basically do whatever they want with an employee and get away with it. It is up to the employee to provide proof of whatever is going on but still the employer can always change the story or whatever. CALL YOUR LOCAL LABOR DEPT. and ask them who can help you with this problem.

Yes it is. There are many places who won't pay without a time card or sheet or some kind of documentation showing how many hours you actually worked.

32 hrs a week  is part time work. Also if you only work say 4 hrs a day that is considered as part time.

No. Laws are set up that say you can only work four hours a day and a max of 16 hours a week (if I remember correctly) during the school year. Summer jobs are different, but even then you cannot work after a certain hour and you cannot work in certain places. \n\nBest bet is a fast food joint. I know - not exactly an awesome job, but you have to start somewhere and gain experience in some way before you can get a "regular" job...\n\nGood luck! And do yourself a favor - dont waste time with the above responses.

Except for baby sitting you are not allowed to work in Illinois unless it is a family business until you are 16

No. It is not right. It has been a long time since I have looked at the laws and they might have varied a little in that time. But I do know it used to be anything over five hours you had to have a half hour. Anything over seven hours you are entitled to another half hour.\n\nI will look up and see if I can find recent laws. \nFight your boss and if they will not change then take it to the BBB or the county.

You have a couple of options.   The Illinois Industrial Commission has a website at http://www.state.il.us/agency/iic/email.htm - to contact someone who may be able to answer questions, go to the above site & click on "Contact Information", then "Administrative Staff", then go to near the bottom right hand side of the screen & click on "Information Unit". \nIF the person in the Information Unit is not able to help, try asking if they have an Ombudsman & get that contact information. \n\nYou could contact an attorney who specializes in workers comp claims. \n\nIf you prefer a Forum type discussion with attorneys, visit http://www.Prairielaw.com \nIf you want workers comp resources, visit http://www.GettingWorkersComp.com
