[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have hourly employees recently assigned to me.

I found out they are in a catch 22 situation. OT is very rare and must be pre-approved. So they all “punch the clock” exactly their work hours.

Now my firm does pay a bonus. But mainly exempt employees. The on the clock people often get like $200 to $1,000 a year. The catch 22 bonus is paid for added work but they don’t get paid OT so all leave on time each day and illegal to make then work unpaid OT.

How do you motivate them? For instance if I take then to lunch they got to punch out so just adds to work day. They also have set breaks and lunch periods. It seems very outdated.

Your writing is a jumbled mess. The best I can tell, you are complaining that nonexempt employees work their exact hours, and no more. This is what the law requires, unless you pay overtime.

You then note that overtime is rare and must be pre-approved. That means that for your company to comply with FLSA, these employees MUST clock out and leave, barring such pre-approval.

So, your employees are making sure that your employer remains compliant with the law. That's what they're supposed to do.

If your complaint is that you aren't getting free work out of nonexempt employees, you're completely in the wrong. You need to have a talk with your HR and GC to set you straight. [/quote]
