I am a non exempt employee: I am not allowed to work over time. I have been told, if I accumilated any overtime, even 15 min. I will be written up. There are other non-exempt employees that have accumilated from 17 to 40 hours a week, in overtime alone; Sometimes my work requires that I stay pass my scheduled time. I have work that I must finish, but sometimes I have interruptions, that must be delt with at the time of occurance, this is normal practice. I was told that if I accumulated any overtime; I will need to put it on my time sheet as regular time; but, keep a mental tab on it, and take off early before the pay period end's; under no circumstances will I be paid overtime. One explanation that I was given; was that I would be paid to much an hour, (time and a half) and the other employees make less, and would be paid less. Is this fair; and if not what can be done about it? Does this sound like equal oppertunity? I really don't want to cause any problems, I just want the same oppertunity and fairness, as any other non-exempt employee.
