My employer has come up with a creative way to keep from having to pay overtime. What happens is, if I have to stay late today for say 2 hours, then one day later in the week they will have me either come in 2 hours late or leave 2 hours early. Either way, we end up with only 40 hours in the week. This also means that we are working short at times because if someone is made to come in late, then we are a person down until they get there.
