Not getting all my over time?
|
the company i work for tells me its ok not to pay me all of my over time because they do not profit over a certain amount each year can i sue them for my overtime?
what they do is if i work 45 hrs they pay me 40 hrs for that week. Then if i work another week only 35 hrs they take the 5 hrs they took away from me the week or two ago and only pay me 40 hrs so i dont get time and a half. i added up all the time and a half pay and they owe me over $500

Some companies have a policy of 'banking' hours so that if you work over one week and under one week it all balances out. However, this is a more common practice with unions.
Depending where you live, the labour laws vary. In Ontario, your employer must pay you overtime pay (one and a half times your normal rate of pay) for anything over 44 hours in a one week period. Unless, of course, you have signed a contract saying otherwise.
With many municipal departments, they bank hours as stated above because the work is not considered to be 'steady'.
Also, if you are on salary, none of the above applies to you.
So ... contact your local labour board or re-read any contracts you may have signed (my contract, for example, gives me over time after 40 hours, not 44). |

Check your local labour codes. Here where I am the employees can work up to 44 hours a week before overtime is paid. |

I'd tell them that you plan on reporting them to the appropriate agencies. If they fire you, you'll have wrongful termination to add to your suite. |

Unless you are designated as a salaried employee (you get the same amount of pay every week whether you work 35 or 45 hours) you should get time and half after 40 hrs. I'm pretty sure that's the law. Check with the labor board. |
