if you work overtime?

I think logic would tell that what they just did was wrong, unethical and more than likely ILLEGAL.\nYou can't promise a person this wage, and then change it. That'd be like me hiring you, promising you 10 bucks an hour and then you find out that you are only making 8.50..\n\nThey can't rip you off like that. It's an injustice! Fight the power!\n\nSeriously. Go get your money that you worked hard for, and deserve.

Yes, though this law usually varies from state to state.  The employer must keep records of the time you work to prove that you aren't due overtime pay -- unless you are exempt from overtime, in which case they don't need time cards for you but should keep them anyway.

If mandatory overtime is in the union contract then yes he has to work if he is low man. The thing to do is go to Union meetings and get it changed in the next contract.

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.

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.

If you want to get paid for overtime you need to become a consultant &#92; contractor. You won't receive any benefits, paid holidays, vacation, sick leave, 401 K, etc etc. But, if you're talented then you will do better earning an hourly wage.\n\nIf you have the talent, skill set & are willing to take the risk I strongly suggest going consulting. The work is significantly more interesting & challenging.\n\nYou also stay ahead of the tech curve. You are asked to solve many different types of problems for many different types of companies. It keeps you sharp and you get to use all the latest & greatest toys. \n\nPermenant employees usually get pigeon-holed onto a project or team. They either maintain the same code for years on end or write systems using the exact same tired old methods & technologies. As a result their marketability and skil set usually stagnates. \n\nIt is a shame that it happens that way. But, it is also reality.

If she is on a salary, then she has to work whatever they ask or is in a contract.  If she is hourly, then they have to pay overtime if she works more than 40 hours in a week.  It doesn't matter how the hours are spread out during that week.

Yes, it is even better than you think. After 8 hours it is OT, after 12 is DT and it does not stop if hte next shift time kicks in while working, because there is a mandated 8 hour break between workdays after 24 hours of owrk, s o they VIOLATED the labor law, unless you have an agreement in place.\n\nQUOTE\n If an employee works unauthorized overtime is the employer obligated to pay for it?\n\n  A. Yes, California law requires that employers pay overtime, whether authorized or not, at the rate of one and one-half times the employee's regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of eight up to an including 12 hours in any workday, and for the first eight hours of work on the seventh consecutive day of work in a workweek, and double the employee's regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 12 in any workday and for all hours worked in excess of eight on the seventh consecutive day of work in a workweek.\nhttp://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/FAQ_Overtime.htm\n\nQUOTE\n(d) No employee shall work more than 24 consecutive hours until said employee receives not less than eight (8) consecutive hours off-duty immediately following the 24 consecutive hours of work.
