If you work an extra 5 hours of OT one day and the next day they tell you to take a day off, that is perfectly legal. They do not want to pay the OT charges so they let you have an extra day off.
However if they did not let you have the day off you are entitled to those 5 hours of OT. |

I would say no - they would have to give you 7.5 hrs of paid time off |

California has a daily overtime provision.
Check your California Labor Laws. |

Probably....
Lieu time is legal in most places, this would depend upon what is written in your employment contract. |

Only if "Comp" time is written into your employment contract. |

Depends. In some states, you cannot have an employment contract unless you are part of a union, so that point is moot. Overtime is regulated by the state. You need to investigate by going to the state's website and reviewing the laws. In a lot of states, overtime is not paid until the employee has exceeded a 40 hour work week. So if you work 4 days of 10 hours, you get paid straight time. That is the most common way of administering payroll.
However, my husband's union does it on a daily basis. If he works more than 8 hours in a day, he receives OT. But that is unique and part of a union contract.
I feel like I have said this alot on this site, but be thankful for the job. Alot of people are now forced to cut their hours to less than 40 hours a week as a way of saving the company money during the recession. This is not the time to cause an uproar with your employer. |
