Is it legal for my employer to make me work after the hours i'm supposed to?
Answer:
No. if you use a time clock at work once you clock out thats it your done for that day. if the boss wants you to work longer then they need to pay you for that time. if you work part time they still need to pay you for your time there and if you work full time and are working more than 40 hours a week then they need to pay you over-time. if they dont then they are breaking the law. you should contact the labor department of employment standards and hour division. A.K.A the department of labor and industry i think. you can also call information to find out more about your options. you should be able to report this to the labor department and they should be able to do something about it.
the phone number fot the lador depart ment would most likely be under federal in your phone book.
I would say as long as you're being paid an hourly wage it's okay. If 30 mins-1 hr means a lot to you, find another job.
Restaurant work is different than other jobs. Yes, you can be asked to stay. Your job depends on customers and when they come in. If they are still busy and you haven't finished your work then yes, you need to stay. You might as well get used to jobs like that. No one works exactly 9 to 5. In order to get ahead in life you have to work hard long hours.
As long as you're paid according to labor laws, yes they can ask you to stay. You are perfectly welcome to look for another job if you don't like the one you have.
yes she can
No Its not. Overtime laws are covered in the FLSA but without a Union what are you going to do? Get a union where you work
Yes, for restaurant work in most states, (check your state labor code) you can be asked to work past your normal work hours.
However, they may not work you off the clock (unpaid). As a matter of fact, if you work more than 40 hrs in a week they should pay you overtime.
If they are working you off the clock, you may have reason to file a labor complaint with the state labor commission. or Federal Dept of Labor.
If you don't want to work extra hours, remember you can find another job.
Restaurant work tends to be minimum wage work, you could try unionizing, however, restaurant workers are a dime a dozen and unskilled, undocumented workers are beginning to take over the industry. Any talk of Unionizing could lead to all the workers being replaced before any vote is called. Or it could drive the restaurant out of business.
It depends upon the contract of employment made between you and your boss!
