Legal Question


Overtime for Salaried employees

My wife is a salaried employee and works well over 40 hours a week. The company policy is that salaried emplyees should only work 40 hours a week. In addition her normal days off are a Wed and a Sat but one weekend a month she has to work the whole weekend. Normally she would get Friday off til she had to come at 5 to make a 4 hour drive. Now her boss is making her come in on Friday for 2 hours sending her home and having her come back in at the normal time to drive to Miami (She knows its a 45 minute drive each way).

What I want to know is when is a company required to pay overtime for salaried employees. The only thing she can find in writing from the company manual is that salaried employees ''should'' only be work 40 hours a week. Nothing about overtime.
