    Default Can Hours Worked be Carried Over Into the Following Week

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: SOUTH CAROLINA

    Hourly employees in our company were required to work an extra 4 hours this past week to cover time for the office being closed on 11/24 the Friday after Thanksgiving. So for Work Week Ending 11/17 the hourly employees worked a total of 44 hrs but were only paid for 40. The extra 4 hours will be applied to the following week for the office being closed that Friday after the holiday. Is this allowed?

    If these hourly employees are truly non-exempt (and yes, I agree, the majority of hourly employees are non-exempt, however there are some that are not), then this practice is illegal.

    Yes they are truly hourly employees. Is there some documentation that states this or applies to this?

    Federal law: 29 USC 207
    California law: Labor Code sections 204.2 and thereabout.

    Are you sure the defined pay week is the calendar week? Generally agree you can’t cross payweeks but you need to define what your employers payweek ( consecutive 7 days of 24 hours that employers are allowed to define and split any point in the week but it is meant to be consistent)
