[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-23-03 AT 02:26AM (CST)[/font][p]I have just found out that our management was telling ees no overtime is allowed, but telling the ees they must finish all thier work (answer voicemails or Emails) before they go home for the day.
The ees have been doing this and this has casued 90% of my staff to stay later then their scheduled times (hense work overtime)
Here is the kicker... They were told to NOT put the extra time on thier time cards becasue they would not get paid for overtime, and if they dont like it they can go find a new job.
What shall i do to get this resolved BEFORE someone files a lawsuit.
What kind of penalties am I looking at here? this has been going on for over 6 months
here is a new wrinkle... we have atleast one employee that has been working from hom via the internet taking orders and updating our status sheets on saturday and SUNDAY and was tiold they will not be paid for this... but thier manager has let them do it without saying stop.

If this gets management's attention, you should go back and figure how much these employees are owed and pay them for their time. Going forward, make sure employees are aware of the policy regarding OT and employees that do not adhere to the policy should be disciplined up to and including termination.
You should be able to find quite a bit of information from this website, using the search engine, to provide to management.
Good luck.
