    Default What to Do if Your Employer Tells You Not to Report Overtime Hours

    An employer has instructed his employee that she is not to report more than eighty hours of work during a two week pay period, and that she is not authorized for overtime. However, the employee has duties that cannot be completed within a forty hour work week. How can the employee get compensated for her overtime work, if she can't record the overtime on her time sheets?

    Default Re: What to Do if Your Employer Tells You Not to Report Overtime Hours

    The employee can report the overtime on her time sheets and, assuming she's non-exempt (as appears to be the case), her employer should pay her overtime. However, her employer can discipline or fire her for working the unauthorized overtime hours.

    If the employee is in a catch-22 situation, unable to complete her assignments within the regular work week, but unable to charge overtime for the work she cannot complete within a 40-hour week, she needs to discuss her work load with her employer. In the alternative, perhaps it is time for her to explore other job opportunities.
