Split Hours between two Stores?

[bakerone]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Arizona-

I work for a local chain of stores, all of the stores are under the same corporation and central management department.

Currently I was asked If I could cover an extra shift at another store, I agreed I could use the hours. This would put me making overtime, unfortunately my boss informed me that because it is the same pay-week but the overtime hours are at a 2nd store That I would not be getting overtime pay.

Can she do that? I thought if you worked for the same company and over 40 in a week you got overtime pay and the location had nothing to do with it?

If this is the same employer, it's definitely not legal. Where the hours are worked is irrelevant.

You can either make a stink about it now, or just work it then, when you don't get paid overtime premium, file a claim with the state DOL.
