Unfortunately, due to the fact that most jobs have no unions to back them up, most people do not earn overtime when they exceed 8 hours in a day. The employers get around it by insisting the people are "management" (whether they are or not), and therefore make a straight salary regardless of the amount of hours worked. I was a victim of that abuse at one time, but I rectified that situation by applying for and eventually getting a job with a transit agency. Where people are usually paid fairly. |
