[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does the contract say?  Mine guarantees me pay for a specific time frame each day that I am reserving my time for the family?  E.g., for a 40-hour week, I might be reserving my time for NF 8am-4pm Monday-Friday and I am guaranteed to be paid for those houre even if they do not need me.  If one week my NF needed me 6am-4pm Monday-Thursday and did not need me on Friday, I would expect to be paid for all of my guaranteed hours (8am-4pm Monday-Friday), as well as overtime for days I worked longer than 8 hours.  That is how my contract works and it is legally required to pay overtime if the employee works over 8 hours per day in many states.[/quote]

This is similar to my contract and I expect to be paid OT for every hour I work outside of my regular schedule, even if I have a day off that week. An easy way to breed resentment by not paying OT. [/quote]

Real question, but why do you expect to be paid overtime for hours that aren’t legally considered overtime? Is that explicitly stated in your  contract. I’m not trying to be argumentative, but it seems like following labor laws is the reasonable assumption for things not explicitly negotiated.

I do realize the first PP is talking about. Greater than eight hour days, which apparently do require overtime in her jurisdiction, but the second PP refers to “every hour”[/quote]
