Most people do not refuse overtime because the employer has the right to fire or do a lay-off.
They can get rid of you the first time you do something wrong, and they can always find something wrong if they do not like you.
Smile and be an avid "team player" during the overtime. If you get some spare time or ask for comp -time off some Friday, or Monday, you could start secretly going to job interviews at companies that you would rather work for.
That is my best advice on this matter. |

yeah, you can work the hours. If your job is classified (by the government) as an overtime exempt position, you have to do what your boss says and no extra pay |

When you take a salary position, you are aware that this situation will occur, or should be. You could always ask for a raise. |

No-once salaried, you work overtime without extra pay-BUT you should have "comp" time, where with approval from your superior, you get additional time off, usually when your work load has slowed down. |

depends whether you're an exempt employee or non-exempt employee.
You're entitled for over time if you're a non-exempt employee. |

While you might be a salaried employeee,and know that this may entail some extra hours of work time; there is still a limit to what they are. Some times you may be compensated in other ways, such as accumulated comp. time. This could come in handy when you have run out of vacation time and need time off. Whatever the circumstances this should have been determined prior to your contract being signed and accepted. If you feel that you are putting in much more time than was explained and are not being compensated in any other way you might want to contact the labor board and see what the perticular parameters are for you position and what legal rights you might have.
Good Luck |

When you’re being paid salary, you don’t typically get overtime pay. |

Under salaried employment, you've pretty much given up your wage-earner's right to time and a half after 40 hours. |

mst salaried employees are considered exempt from the overtime provisions of the labor laws.
So basically, if you are continually working OT for no thing extra, you are screwed.

not really. thats part of being salaried. when I started my job I was working 70+ hours a week, with no days off. |

Well your rights are the same as an hourly employee in that you are free to seek employment elsewhere. As a salaried employee you agreed to be paid an annual salary in order to complete a job regardless or the number of hours. You certainly are allowed to petition your employer for additional income or perhaps another FTE to support your role, however there is no legal recorse you can pursue as far as obtaining additional compensation.
Most employers target 40-50 hours a week for their salaried employees. Many offer "comp" time policies where by if you are clocking 60 hours a week now, perhap your can work 30 hours a week during slow time.
I hope that helps. |

As a salaried employee, you are considered exempt from the overtime laws and regulations. About the only thing you can do is call the U.S. Department of Labor and your state's Attorney General's office to get an opinion on whether you are properly classified as salaried under the state and federal laws. |

As a salaried employee, there is nothing you can do short of approaching your boss and outlining the situation and finding a way to make it equitable. However he or she is under no obligation to you and your legal rights are nil UNLESS you can prove that you are being exploited and that would be very difficult. The nature of salary is that you are paid for the job you do, not the hours you do it in. Good luck. |

You are being asked to work 50% longer, so you should only give 75% effort to make up for it. |
|

Yes , if you are the only one asked to work so many extra hours it is a sign of discriminatory behaviour on the part of your employer. |
|
whatever!!!
|
I was told when I turned salary that i would keep my normal 40hr weeks unless it was needed to work more. Now I am on a schedule doing 50 hours a week, plus more job duties. |
