Dear Sir:
I have been at my job many years with at least most of these years working 8 or more hour shifts until the business closes. Recently, new management took over and they changed by schedule and some days in the week they send me home early after only a few hours. I feel that they over hired and there is not enough hours for everyone. And this afftected the schedule that i was used to working for many years. Can a business do this to long term employees, because it does not seem right to change an employee's schedule who has dedicated their life to helping the company. Also, there have been days where they scheduled me to work double shifts, which I have difficulty doing with a herniated disc permanent disability. Is this allowed. And does the Florida Statute 448.01 below state that when I work more than 10 hours in a day that I should receive more than my normal hourly wage for every hour over 10 hours? 448.01 Legal day's work; extra pay.-- (1) Ten hours of labor shall be a legal day's work, and when any person employed to perform manual labor of any kind by the day, week, month or year renders 10 hours of labor, he or she shall be considered to have performed a legal day's work, unless a written contract has been signed by the person so employed and the employer, requiring a less or greater number of hours of labor to be performed daily. (2) Unless such written contract has been made, the person employed shall be entitled to extra pay for all work performed by the requirement of his or her employer in excess of 10 hours' labor daily.
