Mandatory Overtime

jboone

Can you require a non-exempt employee to work overtime?

Rockie

In South Carolina you can, as long as you pay them. I know some states probably do not allow mandatory overtime.

We do it almost everyday. And, if they refuse, it is a progressive discipline issue and can result in termination.

Gillian

Yes. I suppose that might be some strange situations such as overtime which stretches into church time or something like that, which would get into accomodations issues, but other than that, yes.
