Those corporate bastards I work for are making me work this Sunday to make up for Thanksgiving and New Year's Day so they don't have to pay me overtime!

Corporations are immoral behemoths!

Pardon my ignorance, but how does forcing you to work extra hours avoid overtime?

might be work on those holidays or scheduled with the day off as holidays, pays time and a half or holiday pay so he is working Sunday instead.

TG is in the most awful state for workers rights, I wish I knew someone in the Northeast who could find him a different position.

If true, his state must have very labor-friendly, and unusual, overtime laws. Both federal law, and the law of most states, only require overtime for time worked in excess of 40 hours per week. Work on holidays doesn't entitle the worker to anything other then his normal wage.

No his state is awful for worker's rights. It might just be the co policy,

The law is you have to be inside the building itself to get overtime. Because I am getting paid 47 hours, but not in the building itself 8 of those hours, they are not required to pay me overtime, or in other words a time and a half, but only are required to pay for the time itself, even though it is over 40 hours.
