My boyfriend is a security guard and basically he gets contracted out to Thunder Thighs businesses. He works the graveyard shift (11pm to 7am), 4-days a week Registered User (Wed., Fri., Sat., and Sun.), but sometimes he asked to come in earlier Joined: Sunday, 9th of May 2010, 05:27:35 than 11pm and is made to work sometimes from 7pm-7am or 9pm-7am. Now he Posts: 625 just started this job last week and not only did he pull in the four days Viewed 7541 times but he pulled an extra two days (Monday and Tuesday). His boss appears to
cheating him out of his overtime on the days that he worked 10hrs and
12hrs by splitting up his hours into the next day (Ex: Friday he began his
shift at 9pm and worked til 7am Saturday... later on that following day he
came in at 7pm and worked til 7am Sunday... but on his stub, Fri shift
started 9pm and ended at 12am and then restarted from 12am Sat to 7pm and
the same happened for the shift that came next). Is how they're doing this
legal? Can he take legal action? Does any of what l just said make any
sense? Please help! Thank you!
Oh by the way, though it was indicated
in the question about overtime pay, l did not mention the detail in the
description but his boss did not give him overtime pay.

Looks like the employer is playing with the numbers so as not Beautiful Baby to have to pay overtime. I know that is wrong. How about the Labor Registered User Board? Joined: Monday, 14th of June 2010, 19:49:00 Posts: 1374 Viewed 7597 times

Each state is different & I would suggest contacting that state ChiCkEN NUGGEt is department of labor. It depends on the state is laws if overtime is Registered User after 8 hours or after 40 & it has nothing to do if the company is union Joined: Saturday, 1st of May 2010, 22:35:26 or not. I worked for a non-union company & it was overtime after 8 hours Posts: 560 in a shift. Also, if he is coming in early & leaving late, I hope he has Viewed 10077 times a timeclock that he uses to prove the hours he is working so his boss can
not fudge the books. In the case of a paper time sheet, keep a copy for
yourself & have ur supervisor or boss sign it each day or week, whatever
works for ur circumstances. In my experience, if this new employer is
doing this now, they will always do this - cheat him out of hours,
vacations, breaks, reimbursable expenses, etc. I would report them to the
labor boards, try to fix the situation if possible & in the meantime, look
for another job. Talk to the employees before applying.

It depends on what state he lives. I believe he is entitled if Acey the hours are continous. Registered User Joined: Wednesday, 9th of June 2010, 02:33:26 I guess that only applies in California. You should check with your Posts: 871 particular state anyways. Viewed 17242 times
