I am working a part-time and Federal job. I am working under MWR (Military Welfare and Recreation) and have some questions regarding overtime pay and my schedule.
I have no designated hours set in my contract on what hours I am to work, other than under 40 hours and more than 20 per pay week (Thursday through Wednesday). I have medical benefits and leave accrual for my position. Currently, my schedule is being edited a week or two in advance for when my manager needs me to be onsite. Am I able to ask for days to not work on certain weeks (such as one week a Friday, the next a Thursday) without it taking hours from my PTO (currently working 39 hours a week)?
Also, the state of Alaska has a law ( I believe) stating that any hours worked over 8 hours a day is overtime; I have been told that since I am an non-exempt federal worker, this law does not apply and only over 40 hours a week is noted as overtime; Is this correct?
Lastly, tying into this previous question, on days that I have worked over 8 hours management has attempted to "flex" my hours, so that if I work 9 hours today, they can work me only 7 hours tomorrow so they don't have to pay me overtime ( as it doesn't go over 40 hours a week). Is this legal?
Thank you for your time.
