Legal Question in Business Law in Illinois
I am a salary employee who has been filling in for an injured co-worker at night and over the weekend. My job consists of more or less secretarial work, and my co-worker is an addictions counselor. I am licensed to counsel, but it is not part of my normal day to day. My employer believes that because I am salary, I should not be compensated for doing someone else's job. Is this correct?

Not necessarily. Speak to a lawyer about potential violations of the FLSA. Your employer should compensate you for the extra hours.
