That sucks. I would also demand your OT.

I don't want to hijack your thread but I notice you live in Kent, WA. You should check out the US Pacific forums and come to some events!

Hey thanx yeah kinda new to the forums but Ill check out the Pacific one...I used to be really into the car events but when I got an actual full time job I had to cut back...plus I moved outta my parents house so thats taking alot of money. I plan on talking to my boss but hes away on business til Monday and he locks up all the privious time cards!!

Depending on your employer, a lot of people do overtime in a couple of ways. In your employee agreement, you might've signed away your right to an over 8 hour overtime in ordre to recieve that over 40 hours a week ot. That may be great sometimes, but it sux sometiems too.

Did you recieve over 40 hours that week?

I never signed anything, I have gotten ot before, I think they may have just had a communication error, I know that the payroll department was real confused these past couple weeks! Where I work, if you work over 8hrs in a day you get ot its not based on a 40hr work week

Sorry but that is not a true statement.

Unless your union. At my old job technically anytime over my shift was overtime. Say i had a four hour shift. And i was asked to stay an extra hour? Thats overtime. Even tho i may only have 20 hours that week.
