preapproved OT compelled?
Dear Ken,
This has a short answer dependent on the facts.
If you are validly classified as "non-exempt" and thus eligible for overtime, your employer MUST pay you time and 1/2 for any time you work in excess of 40 hours per week. This is regardless whether or not you got pre-approval.
Now, the employer CAN discipline you for not getting pre-approval if that is the policy, but he can not withhold wages.
