Employer not paying for all hours worked - where to report him?
I worked at Subway but recently I quit, I only got a total of 3 checks while I was working there and on every one of them he shorted my hours. We don't use an electronic clock in/out system, instead we write it on a paper what time we worked. There are also cameras in the store so he can see that we are really there for the times we write down. On my first 2 checks he shorted me .5 hours on each, and on my last check he shorted me 2.5 hours. That's $25.38 total. Not to mention the fact that I only got paid until 10:30 every night even though I stayed till past 11 every night. It's not just me either, he does this to everyone who works there. My question is can he do this? Where should I go to report him for this? Can I get the money he owes me? If anyone has any information about this please let me know. -Thanks in advance :)
Working overtime in Japan?
As the other people said, it depends on your circumstances. When I had an office admin job in a Japanese company, I didn't really work overtime much whereas most of the sales reps did about at least half an hour up to 3 hours. So my then work hours was 9 to 6 with one hour break. In contrast, when I worked for an American company (in Japan) and worked on a big project as a project manager, I had to work overtime a lot. The longest working hours was probably 8 to 23:45 (normally 9 to 6) without lunch break. I occasionally went to work on Saturdays as well. Some of my colleagues even had to stay over nights in the office (which comprises bedrooms and shower rooms lol). We were under deadline and had to finish up by then. Mind you though, those people are total workaholics so they loved to work like that! Some strict and traditional Japanese companies have a culture that you can't go home earlier than your managers and older workers. But as far as I can see, it's slowly dying. In fact I always left earlier than them with no problem. Also, as long as you are efficient enough, you would be able to finish off your work within your working hours, unless your workload is excessive. Overall, it really depends on your job, company you work for and other circumstances.
Is it Illegal for an employer to make off days mandatory overtime?
My husband was told he would be working 40 hours a week (7am-3:30pm) Mon-Fri. For the past two months he has been made to come in 5am-3:30pm Mon-Fri as "Mandatory" overtime and also to come in every single Saturday for 8 hours of this "Mandatory" overtime. Leaving him with one off day a week. They also do not give an extra break even though an extra 2.5 hours are added to his workday every day. He gets a lunch and one break. It would not be so bad if not for the fact that its so physically demanding and his co workers do not pull their share of the work. The Saturday overtime was supposed to be alternating with night shift so that the workers dont get completely exhausted but they are breaking their own policy. Not only that but the people who bring up the fact that the mandatory overtime theyre being made to work is not what they have stated in the employee handbook have been getting fired for extremely stupid reasons. Something just seems fishy to me, I think theres some illegal activity going on here. I know my husband isnt getting paid for all of his overtime he puts in because theres always something messed up on the paycheck stubs and they keep saying its a "glitch" in the computer system... Any legal advice? Is there something we should be doing?
Do people who work in HR do overtime or work for long extra hours?
It depends on the company, your position, and the general situation, but yes, absolutely, HR personnel can work extra hours and overtime if needed, and often do.Reasons for this on a lower staff level could be conducting an extra time-sensitive investigation concerning employee relations or compensation, making sure that documentation is ready for an audit, or just getting through a backlog of requests. Especially with an employee-facing position, the more time an HR generalist spends directly communicating with employees, the less time they have to actually complete the work that they are assigned by their managers. When this happens, they often "disappear" from office hours or become unavailable, so they can get their regulatory/assigned work done. This unfortunately leads to the perception (which I think is implied in your question) that HR people don't work as long or as hard as other departments. I would say that in most situations, this perception is not valid.On a higher level, building collaborative human capital methodologies with senior executive management, getting buy-in on talent development programs from all concerned stakeholders, and other strategic activities can often take a lot of time and effort, and so HR leaders will often work "overtime," although by that level they are not generally qualified to get paid by the hour.

What are overtime working rules in Indian IT companies?
The answer is no. No IT company in India pays your for working more than the office hours.As per labour law 17 (1) a and b, the maximum hours of work is 8 hours a day for 6 days a week OR 48 hours a week in total.So in IT companies (5 days a week) the working hours per day calculates to 9 hours a day with 3 hours extra. If you are working 9 hours a day for 5 day then you are working for 45 hours a week. However, as per law you MUST not be forced to work more than 10.5 hours per day. And even if it is so, you will be paid at twice (normal hourly pay + 100% extra) the rate of your current hourly pay. So, suppose you are paid 200 Rs/hour, which calculated to 36k per month while working 9 hours a day. If you work for 12 hours for two days, the employer must pay you Rs. 600 extra. If you google, you’ll find this:Practice required by law India————————————————Minimum rest while at work : 30 minutes per 6-hourMaximum overtime limit : 200 hours per year [attribution needed]Premium pay for overtime : 100%Dismissal due to redundancy : Yes, if approved by governmentNow, IT companies, under SEZ, get a lot of advantages including low salary, random sack, no union policy and many more which cannot be removed. “Why it is so” may take us back to 1991.The problem is not with the companies. In UK/US people generally tend to work 8 hours a day. But in India it is not possible to force companies to reduce the working hours. That will make per-hour rate higher, which will make companies to move out of India. In China it is even worse. This is because, as they say, we need to compete with first world countries. We have to work hard and for less money in order to compete with them. Which will never be possible.The labour law in India is never implemented forcefully just like the anti-piracy act, which has recently been enforce after all these complaints from “bollywood” production houses only, mainly reliance.In our country politicians loves to impress the businessmen. And in a country with so many businessmen close to the PMs (everyone), never expect the labour law to be enforced.All we need is to rise against them united, build an union. “Speak up, rise and snatch what you deserve, your rights”.
Do you get paid extra if you stay overtime?
My gf recently got a job at a cafe (part time) and she gets off work at 10:30pm. however, they have been keeping her until 11:00pm+. Is the cafe legally supposed to pay her extra for her extra time?
If you are an hourly wage employee and your boss asks you to work late, do you remind them that it will be over time?
I see no reason why you should need to do this.It is already clearly outlined in your contract (and in state and federal employment law) that you are owed overtime after you work a certain number of hours.You don’t need to keep track of the hours you work and remind your boss when you are about to go over those hours. As your employer, it is their responsibility to do that. (Many employers use a digital time clock so that employees can electronically log their time. It’s even possible to set up an alert for when employees pass 40 hours per week.)When someone hires an employee, it is up to them to keep track of the hours that employee works. So, if you are scheduled to work extra hours that will take you into overtime, your boss should already know that. You shouldn’t have to keep track of it for them - just work the overtime hours and carry on. :)P.S. It sounds like you might be asking this because you are worried about your employer putting the blame on you. Are you worried that they haven’t realized their request has pushed you over 40 hours per week, and they will blame you for the extra hours you worked?If this is the case, the issue is with your boss and not you. They will never be able to refuse you overtime pay in this situation. The Fair Labor Standards Act requires that employers pay employees for all hours worked, including overtime whether or not it is authorized.The FLSA states that it is up to management to use its control to ensure employees don’t perform unauthorized overtime. It would be very difficult for them to prove that they didn’t know you were working overtime, because according to the law they should be aware of it. So, don’t worry about it - the FLSA has you covered.
