Does my employer have to designate a time to leave work?
Find answers to your legal question.





Does my employer have to designate a time to leave work?

There are no set shifts where I work, I go into work and it might be 10 hours or it might be 18. I never know! It's a 4 day work week, so that's supposed to be 10 hours a day. Can anyone give me any information as to if this is ok? Or does there need to be a set time?

It's going to depend upon your state and local laws. Often overtime is considered at-will and not mandatory. Sometimes you can be dismissed as no-fault for failing to work it. Your state laws (and possibly your local laws) will have the final say on how things are handled in your area.

It's OK as long as you are being paid for all the hours you work and being paid overtime for hours over 40 per week. This assumes that your job is covered by the fair labor standards act, but most non-management jobs are.

If you're on salary you typically work as long as necessary. if you aren't on salary then you need to make sure you're getting paid overtime for any hours over regular time (more than 40 hours in other words for the week)

You should talk to your employer he is the one to define and answer those questions. How does he know how to pay you then, unless you are on a salary. If so then he had better define all things. Check with the state employment agency in your state they can clarify things for you. God Bless
