You must be compensated for work over 8 hrs per day/40 hrs per week
in any case, there are no exemptions from compensation. There IS an
exemption from overtime pay, but the employee must receive
compensation for all hours worked, and the employer MUST document them.
There is a common misconception floating about that "salaried"
employees don't get payed anything for work over the 8 hrs/day 40 hrs
per week, but that is not true (as WalMart and Radio Shack discoveredl
Time off counts, which may be OK for you and may not, but it IS
compensation and it's tangible. Not getting fired is NOT tangible
compensation.
If you document hours worked and are denied compensation (which I
strongly recommend, by the way), the Labor Relations Board will be
interested..... You are in fact due compensation for each hour
worked. Not shift differential or weekend pay, necessarily.

People get paid for this? Neither I (automotive engineer) nor my
wife (RN in research) have ever been paid for more than 8 hrs/day,
weekend work, or weekend travel.
If I was, I'm owed about $100k conservatively.
What industry pays for this? I'm switching!

Subject: [MBZ] OT: Work travel
Hey,
Quick off topic. Does anybody travel for work? We've just been
informed that from now on we won't be getting any extra pay for
weekend work, off shift work or weekend travel. Previously we'd
been given comp days for weekend travel and differential pay for
off-shift and weekend work.
I *think* I'm an exempt employee which makes this all nicely legal
although totally aggrevating. It doesn't affect me all that much
but there are some folks here that will be pissed. Has anybody delt
with this sort of thing before? Sounds like we're up the creek and
short of leaving (not real likely in this environment) we have no
way to fight it.
We've basically been told this will happen or "There will be
layoffs"...
