A junior who qualifies for OT because of their low salary was asked to work on something over the holiday weekend. OT was denied because we have off on Friday for the holiday. Some BS about how you only qualify for OT if you work a 40 hour week. I get that if you took PTO, but this is a holiday, on the weekend that they’re being asked to work. Yes, I get they should just put in their dues and do it, but I think the policy is so ridiculous.

This is exactly why agencies keep losing good talent. If a junior qualifies for OT, they should be protected, not penalized by a technicality around a holiday weekend. Asking lower-paid employees to give up their time off without proper compensation shouldn’t be normalized. Put a senior on it, adjust the timeline, or pay people fairly. “Paying your dues” shouldn’t mean being taken advantage of.

Sounds like wage theft in CA but I’m not a employment lawyer. And if it’s not it’s still poor policy.
