Question

Is it legal for my employer to refuse to pay me overtime? I'm a tipped employee, and my employer reduces my hours worked in the computer to 40 every time I work overtime. These overtime hours also don't show up on my paycheck, either as regular or as overtime hours.



Answer

That is very illegal. You MUST be paid overtime for any hours worked over 40 hours per week. Additionally, you MUST be paid for all hours you work and your employer can't force you to work without being paid.
