I was an HR Mgr. for five years, but I have a question.....since I was one through advancement rather than through education *meaning I didnt' go to school for my job.
So here is the scenerio. I started a new job, and I haven't got the problem (yet) because I am new....but, this guy I work with works seven days a week. Actually, everyone but myself works seven days. So, anyway, I had thought according to my HR books that any time over 40 hours you have to get paid overtime. I figured this was federally mandated, and of course state mandated. So, they don't get paid overtime. They decided to put one of the guys on salaried at sixty hours a week....or if you work over 40 hours, they just pay you hourly, not time and a half. Is this illegal? Would the best way for me to get this answer be to call the labor board? I understand these people are CHEAP, but it's wrong the way they treat their employees. It makes me sick, actually. I've never heard of people doing this, any advice?
