Anyone know anything about employment law?

Hey everyone,
Im having a problem and want a little expertise in the subject of employment law in the state of Virginia. My boss has been making our group work mandatory overtime since August..it is now January. It's one hour a day and we are getting paid time and a 1/2 for working this OT. We get an hour lunch. We were told the other day that this OT would be indefinite, might not ever end. We were all hired to work 8-5 since this is business hours. We were told now that we either have to work 7am-5 or 8am-6. I thought the standard full time shift was 40 hours? I've tried talking to my boss about it, because Im also a full time student. She doesnt think that one hour is alot, but that hour really makes a difference when you have other obligations outside of your job, especially when its been 1 hr per day for the last 6 mos..that really adds up!! Is this legal?

There can be a lot of variable at play, size of company, does company have shops outside the state, most likely its legal or the company wouldnt risk mandating it. The best place to check is the Employment Comission in your state. |

Yes it is legal. 1 extra hour per day is not bad in my opinion. |

Your employer sets the work schedule -- not the employees. He has a right to demand consistent overtime. Truly your only options are to either work that an extra time or find another job.
There are lots of folks who would love to have that overtime pay if you decide to give up the job! |

As long as your paid for it its legal. One hour isn't bad, my wife usually works 2-4 hours extra everyday as an engineer. If its too much for you, you can always get a different job. |

Is it legal..?Yes.. Is it right..? NO..
But unless you are a union worker there really is not that much you can do about it.
Because she is paying you over time like she is suppose to the only thing you can do is change job..
Sorry.. |
