Pressured To Work "Off the Clock"
I was offered a position in a school district. The hours are 7:30 to 4:00. After quitting my previous job and starting the new one, I began to see that everybody works 10-20 hours overtime "off the clock." I refuse to do it and am continually pressured/harrassed. I am also criticized for taking lunch. Is this legal and what can I do to stop this type of pressuring?

the rules are different
much depends on your position with the school district. there are special rules for school employees, even non-teaching ones. if this is happening throughout the district, you should contact an attorney experienced in employment law. please call me for a free phone consultation.

Wage and Hour Violations
Sounds like a series of wage and hour violations -- overtime should be paid for all non-exempt employees and you have a statutory right to lunch breaks as well as intermittent paid breaks during the day. Please give me a call if you would like to discuss further. If your case looks promising I will likely connect you with experienced employment law counsel in Southern Cal.
