Work question[views:1169][posts:5]______________________________ [Nov 9,2009 2:49pm - Fist ""] So I have been working at this company here in MA. I'm getting paid hourly working well over 40 hours a week. We don't get paid overtime here. Meaning time and a half and such. I feel as if this is illegal. Does anybody know if they can do this? |
