    Default Salaried but check based on 80 hours

    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.

    No, not solely based on how the payroll department writes the check. The question you should be asking is if you were properly quantified as exempt vs non-exempt. What did your job consist of? What were your job duties, job title, etc? Did you manage anyone?

    No, you don't have a case for OT.
