If your employer uses a time clock, what ever is on your time sheet is what you get paid for.

I suspect that this will vary based on your country and state of residence. I've just been looking at labor laws in California, and unless you are a minor, they CAN require you to work extra as long as they are paying you overtime.\n\nOther thought: IF on your application for employment there was a space specifying what hours you are available, and then they terminate you for not working outside of those hours, then that is breach of contract and probably lawful termination too and you might want to find an attorney.

I am not a lawyer but the answer is...\n\nIt depends.  The definition of over time is more than 40 hours a week.  The above situation would be true if they adjusted your schedule so that you did not work more than 40 hours in a week or 80 hours in a two week pay period.\n\nAnd only hourly employees receive overtime pay.  If you are salaried you do not receive any extra pay.

Customarily it's common to give at least a 2-week notice. As far as paid for holidays I only know of paying for vacation days left

It is 5.15 per hour.  Dang, I would hope you would set your sights higher than minimum.  Try waiting tables.  It pays a lot better and the hours aren't bad.\n\nIt's more complicated than the other answerer would have you believe...some states even have a minimum wage lower than the federal standard which is 5.15.  Colorado's state minimum wage , as of the beginning of April, was 5.15.  Other states have other rules.

Most states all they must leave you with is either min. wage or poverty level wage.  Most states it's not a %, just the limit I just stated.

I am not an expert, but I posed a question to askalawyer.com a while back and they sent me whole bunch of links to try. I am waiting for an answer to my question.\nI don't think the pay thing is legal, but the hours thing might be. Full time can really be any amount of hours. I have worked part-time hours that ran all the way up to fourty. It depends upon how long you work the hours. IE forty for one week may still be part time, but forty for six months may be considered full time depending on state law.\ngood luck

It depends on profession. For example, if you work in a (disco) nightclub that is only open on (sabba) saturdays you get paied 1.0 times normal pay etc.

NO!  You have to be payed for what you work. I had a previous employer that did the same to me and I had to go all the way up the chain and eventually was paid for 60 days of docked lunches I never took!

It is legal, since there is no overtime for salaried employees. \n\nThere is one caveat however, Minimum wage law still applies even to salaried employees, So calculate how many hours you work each year then divide your salary by that number -- if the result is less then federal minimum wage(5.15) or your states minimum wage(7.63 being the maximum in Washington) or even your local minimum wage(9.50 in Santa Fe) then your employer is in violation of the law.

Supposedly they're supposed to pay you for 40hrs/week, however part of the agreement when you take a salaried position is that you will work an expected number of hours per week.  Some employers are more flexible with comp time than others, but if you didn't work your 40 hours you aren't holding up your end of the agreement.

Most times not much over minimum wage and when it is larger, you generally don't get the full 40 hours, so most of the benefits are Bye-bye.  Law generally requires a 90 day review.  Most do a 30 day review.

check with your state labor dept.....there are several different interpretations..........some part time emplyees who are on call can put in more than 40 hours......it's usually 32 to 36 hours for part time...check with the state labor dept....look it up in the phone book

If you are an hourly employee, yes they are required to pay you.  If they aren't, go up the chain of command and document it very well.  If you still don't have any results, then contact the Department of Labor.  This is considered "working off the clock" and is highly illegal.

There is an old saying that if you work 40 hours you get 40 hours of pay. \n\nThen on the other hand, yes, one can work too much. It all is relevant to your situation. Is there a wife, kids or other people or things that require your attention? You have to know your limits and the limits of those demanding your time.

Each state differs...and it depends what the leave is for.  Family/maternity, some have none.  Others, like California offer 12 weeks.

California labor law requires a 30 minute lunch break for every 6 hours worked. It also requires a 10 minute paid break for every 4 hours or major portion worked.
