Answer to Denied overtime while on light duty

overtime or discrmination

Unfortunately, I find your question unclear. I do not understand if you are getting overtime pay before your injury (standard is typically 40 hours a week, not 80 every two weeks) or if you are not getting it now or you are being denied work hours now. Perhaps you have an overtime claim from BEFORE your injury. If your complaint is that your hours are reduced because of injury it is hard for me to give an opinion since I do not typically deal with discrimination issues, only overtime pay issues.

Answer to promises, promises,promises = SNAKES

You have a contract

From what you describe it appears you were promised certain money for doing certain work. If you did the work (and there are no other facts at issue) then you should be paid the money (a contract is a contract). While it would have been better for you to have had a written contract (easier to prove) an oral contact should still be binding under the circumstances you describe. You may want to pursue a small claims action. Please note that my analysis is provided based upon the limited information you provided, there may be other facts you did not communicate that could influence the situation.
