Hi. My name is Nathan. I need some advices for my case.
I've been working at an asian company for about an year. Technically, I don't get overtime pay since I am an exempt and salary employee. But, I was wondering if there is any way I can get overtime pay or any compensation.
I have never got off earlier than 18:00 (I starts work at 8:30). Most of days, I get off after 20:00 sometimes after 00:00. I have no life, my health is getting worse. I've been working 60~70 hours a week without any overtime pay or compensation.
The problem is not only the overtime work, but also a discrimination. This happens to only those employees who has the same nationality as the boss and company. The colleagues in my department are americans and they get off on time like 17:30 Only two employees who share the same language and culture (I would rather not specify the nationality) have been suffering in this situation.(I am a US citizen by the way)
Since the day I got off at 5:30 in the morning and had to come back to work on time the next day,
, I started to keep track my off time just in case. The boss kept saying about the company policy for exempt employees. But the question is if there are that many works to do, why should only two people do all of it? Why the others in the same position get the same or more salary and work less?
Is there any way to get me get out this situation and work the same as the others?
Please advice me..
