I never understood the overtime laws. I never get paid for overtime. I work for a corporation with about 400 employees. We didn't talk about overtime when I started my job. I just was supposed to do my 40 hours and that would be all. But the past couple of months I have been worried about the company taking advantage of me since I am very trusting. I was asked by my boss to stay late all the time because the company isn't making so much money. Now I work about 50 hours a week. I work at least 1 hour overtime very day. I never get paid but this is supposed to be part of helping the team. Why are some people entitled to get overtime? I read about a lawsuit that the company didn't pay the workers for overtime.
