Salaried Employee
My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: Texas
I work for a company in Texas and they say that we are salaried employees base on 40 hrs per week. We are working 55-65 hrs m-f and then, plus 6-8 hrs on saturday every week. They tell us that this is part of the job and to deal with it. Our management is also salaried based on 40 and they work 7:30 to 5. The thing I guess I don't understand is that at the end of every month they have us sign a time sheet saying we only worked 40 hours a week for the month. Is this anything to be concerned about?

Re: Salaried Employee

Re: Salaried Employee
Thanks for replying. To be honest, I really don't know. I have searched for many websites to find out, but many of the links I have found do not work anymore.

Re: Salaried Employee
try this site
bottom line; if you are exempt, they do not have to pay you overtime anytime and there are very few (like none) as to what hours and how many hours they can require you to work.
If you are non-exempt, you must be paid overtime for any hours worked over 40 in a week.
as to the calculations; I'm not all that good on that portion. Hopefully one of the HR folks will see this and fill you in on the actual calculations. It is not a simple time and a half for hours over 40. You must figure your regular rate of pay first and then go frmo there.

Re: Salaried Employee
If the OP comes back and tells us he is nonexempt, I can go through the calcs.
