Is it legal for an employer to schedule an employee to work 60 hours per week at two different locations, 30 hours at each, without paying overtime?

the question you didnt tell us " do you get pay one check or two" for the diff location of the job, or is there one pay check, the company pays you one pay check and time card, they have to pay you for the 20 hrs over your 40 hrs, but if they pay you with two checks, then they can get away with it,

Overtime is not a law in some states. Time and a half could be a benefit depending on where you live. If your state has a overtime law then he has to pay you overtime

No: If the paying site is the same overtime is due. If I have one employee work for me at my gas station, and the same employee work for me at my movie theater: I do not have to pay over time as long as the businesses are separate entities.

Don't think so but your contract is the big decider.
Usually the law applies to the employer, not the working location.
If you work 60 hrs, that comes from the same employer, that is 20 hrs OT. (at least in CA, other anti - worker states may not care - where are you ?)

No.
The way the Army got around it when I was a civilian employee was to work me for up to 100 hours in a week, then just pay for 40.

no. if its the same employer... they need to be paying you 20 hours of overtime. contact human resources. tell them that they need to be paying you. anything over 40 hours a week is overtime. so, if they refuse to comply, you need to file a grievance or contact department of labor and industrial relations. they will investigate and fine the people.

it depends. if the 2 seperate locations are 2 seperate "companies", yes. totally legal. some states don't require paid overtime as well.

Yes it is legal it's one of those little loop holes employers just love. I know it's legal because I was once in the same boat and I tried to sue and lost.

If you reside in the United States and are not an exempt employee, the answer is no.

if you work under US law and are not overtime exempt, this is illegal and they are required to pay overtime. you can file a complaint with the labor board.
