Can salaried employees be made to work 12 hour days on a regular basis without comptime or other compensation except agreed salary
Hello and welcome,What type of work do you perform for the employer?Do you have a contract with them stating a number of hours the salary is based on?
My son works in area of construction management. Job started @ 8hrs per day then moved to location of construction. Told he needs to be there 11 1/2 hrs to 12 hrs per day 5:45 am to 5:45 pm every day. Part of management team
I see.Executives, administrators, and other professionals earning at least $455 per week do not have to be paid overtime under Section 13(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act normally.A job is classified as an Executive position if the full-time responsibility is management of two or more employees. The employee must spend no more then 20% of their time doing other activities (or 40% in a retail environment), and their job should be a salaried position.If these requirements apply to your son's situation, then the employer would not typically be required to pay him overtime no matter how hours of work are demanded of him unfortunately. It is an area where employers do sometimes exploit employees.Here is a link that sets out these and other exceptions to the overtime rule:http://www.minimum-wage.org/overtime/virginiaIf you son does not fit one of the acceptions to overtime listed in the attached link, then the employer would normally be required to pay him overtime for all hours he works in a week exceeding 40.
