what?? that sounds borderline criminal, we need to reform our work laws like yesterday that's uncacceptable
Thanks for the life tip. Always research laws that affect you. I would hate to be caught in any situation like this.
Are you sure about that? This article on Iowa law says you're entitled to overtime: https://www.higginslawiowa.com/employment-law/wages-hours-overtime/
ugh that's so gross, they just get to take advantage of us with little repercussions
Gross, we need stronger worker protections all across the board now
Goodluck
I had no idea this was a thing. Thankfully, my boss is a cool guy and he pays overtime if we work extra hours. We're a small team and he knows that if he were to pull some stuff like this, we would all quit.
This is the type of thing that makes me vote democrat every single time. We need to get all our workers rights for them to be able to perform how companies need them. You can't tell me you had someone work almost 20 extra hours and you won't pay a bit extra for that.
No extra pay, no extra hours!
Allow me to also clarify, the employee count has to be under like 50 or 100. I was rereading my notes earlier.
I covered for an employee that had a medical emergency, no clue this was even a thing! I'm 42, NEVER heard of not being paid time and a half for hours over 40.
They did specify it is state specific. As stated check your states laws and make sure you're educated. I never thought to even consider it could ever happen. Live and learn.
