Company policy discouraging overtime work is not illegal. Refusal to pay overtime rates for actual OT time worked is.

I did just look up something from a lawyer answering a similar question that says that if they try to push the lunch break over an hour, you should be paid like a split shift instead of like you had a lunch in the middle of your shift, entitling you to an extra hour of pay for the shift splitting depending on your wage. It might at least be worth finding a lawyer that gives free consultations who can give you more specifics to your situation tho.

its your responsibility to stay under 40 hours each week and if a management member asks if you would take a short lunch on a busy night you have the right to tell them no. ( yah ur a fck boy if you tell them no )


when i worked there going over 8 hours a day is not overtime but if you go over 40 hours in a week it would be


wal mart pays good wage for entry level job
