I work in manufacturing in Kansas, salaried, manager. while there was never an agreed amount of hours that I was to work, I always worked 50-70 hours a week in order to complete my job weekly. i could have worked less but it resulted in verbal reprimands that i am not working enough hours and my responsibilities suffered. My question is this, my check lists 80 hours for a two week period and then has my rate of pay in the column next to these hours worked, (so my compensation according to my check is the salary i was hired at but based on 40 hours weekly) Recently removed from my position, do i have any case for overtime worked based on how my checks have been written? In other words, my check said i worked 40 hours, when I really worked 50 -70 hours a week, I know I agreed to salary but we never discussed hours required until i tried to work a 40 hour week and was told I should be working 50 per week minimum. i know that it seems as though I am trying to start something but they really have fired me for not putting in (unpaid) overtime.
