Illegal mandatory OT for employees?

purplefrog

I was just wondering if it is legal for companies to make you work mandatory ot. I work for a very large company and we are constantly being told that we have to work mandatory ot. I am a salaried employee so I am not entitled to overtime pay, but I was wondering if this was legal. I work more than 60 hours a week and I am getting very tired. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

There is no definitive answer to this question since labor laws vary from country to country. However, in general, if a company requires its employees to work overtime, it must pay them for their additional hours worked. mandatory ot.

Yes, it is illegal for companies to give you mandatory ot. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires that covered, nonexempt employees must be paid not less than time and one-half their regular rates of pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Therefore, if you are working more than 40 hours in a workweek, the company must pay you time and a half for the overtime hours.
