What is the name of your state? Alabama
Not sure if this is the correct place to post this question. Need help. I work on a government contract. We just went hourly. We were told that there is no overtime unless it is approved. We are a 24x7 operation. They are asking for volunteers to work another person's shift so they can take vacation. They said that the person who work's the shift will have to take a day off later in the week to keep from getting overtime. Since hourly is new to us need to know is it against the law to alter a person's work schedule to keep from paying them overtime? Any help will be much appreciated.
