You do not get paid overtime.  You will still get paid 54 dollars for all the hours worked.  Do you have a time sheet you fill in?  If you do present it to the HR department for approval.

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.

The exact laws may be different from state to state - If your from Cal. the link is below.\n\nBut every state is the same as far as hours worked.  If you are on salary - they have to pay you for the entire day, but if you are an hourly employee then no, they only pay you for the time you stood at work.  If you never clocked in then they don't pay you at all for that day.

Years ago, I was paid a little better than minimum wage for an eight hour shift that included time before, during and after each home game.\n\nI worked a lot more than eight hours each day.  One guy working with me asked to be paid overtime and he was let go the next week.\n\nIf you're working to get money, find something else to do.  If you're working for experience, it's as good as any.  Just remember that only one in a thousand interns ever make it to the bigs, just like the players.\n\nAll that being said, good luck to you, and I'm glad I did it.

Some companies will provide "comp time" if you work extra hours in advance.  Other that that, you would have to negotiate for more time.

Around here you can. You just have to have 24 hour notice of overtime. \n\nBut yea you can. If you are working for a company that says that much time is mandatory then just go find another job. \nIt will be alot easier than "Beating the Man"

Your employer can't interfere in your personal matters, however if some matters involve direct consequences to the company in that case they are allowed to a certain extent. If your contract of service does not provide for the things you mentioned then you are not bound to do that.

I am not sure I completely understand you question.  I think you are trying to determine how to calculate overtime.  Try this:  http://deskinlawfirm.com/calculate_your_regular_rate_for_overtime_purposes

I just had to research this very subject due to employees volunteering for after work projects.  The answer that I found was that the only way possible for the company to be able to have you sign a waiver is if the two positions in no way involved the same type of duties.  If you preform the same type of duties in both positions, you must be paid overtime.  Also, in alot of situations, most companies have this as a personal policy to cover themselves from labor dispuits.  A waiver would not protect them from this.\n\n\nIf they are two differet jobs,  I would talk to them and see if it would be possible to put you on salary to include both jobs.

no.  What you'd receive would be your wage at the times you are owed back pay...if you worked overtime during that period, you'd want to pay extra close attention to make sure that was paid as well.

That would be an illegal garnishment of wages/salary, thus subject to a court order; not a bosses whim or any such contractual obligation. I can not believe the ignorance of some of the answers to this question. It would be a null and void contract, if you signed any such document, so you may wish to contact the proper state/municipal authorities.

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.

I've included a link to the federal Department of Labor's page regarding overtime law.  Depending on the specific facts of your situation, you'll be able to access a specific answer.

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.

Employers are required to pay overtime in most cases.  There may be exceptions to this if you are working 24-hour shifts where you're allowed to sleep during the night . . . at which point they can legally pay you for 16 hours of sleep, as long as they providing your room and board at no cost during your work time.  \n\nSince this can vary slightly from state to state, the best advice I could give you is to call your department of labor, and ask them.  If you don't want to open a can of worms where your employer finds out and is upset, ask them the same question anonomously.  \n\nThe other question I would ask is, regardless of the answer, is this work you're happy doing?  The "red flag" that jumps out at me in all this is whether you will end up burning out if you are workng that many hours, particularly if you are routinely working in excess of 50 hours.  What are you doing to take care of yourself, because you can't effectively take care of others, if you're not taking care of yourself.  \n\nTake it from someone who knows . . . both from experience and as soon who works in the same field as a Human Resources Director for a homecare agency.  \n\nBest of luck.

you get paid for what hours you work. usually it's time and a half. you don't have to work a certain amount to get paid at all

Afraid not.  Holiday pay is something negotiated between the employee and the employer.  Overtime is a different case, sao that if you have worked 40 hours and then then the holiday as well, you may have a case.\n\nNo law requires an employer to give employees time off for nationally recognized holidays. And no law requires an employer to pay a premium to workers who do come to work on those days.\n\nThe only exception is if working on a holiday puts a non-exempt, or hourly, worker over a 40-hour workweek. In that case, the Fair Labor Standards Act says such workers should be paid at a time-and-a-half rate for each hour over 40.\n\nHope this helps!
