Q: Forcing to take PTO when I am over my 40 hrs. Is this legal with a private company that follows federal guidelines
Example it can be wednesday and I could have 40 hrs overtime and come in late thursday 4 hrs they are making me use my PTO for the 4 hrs even if I have 40 hrs overtime. Which the company is private and follows federal guidelines and is in florida. We have weeks where we are on call and get 40-60 hrs overtime plus my normal 40hrs. Is this legal?
A: Although is sounds difficult to believe--that any company that "follows federal guidelines" requires or even allows its employees to "work 40-60 hours overtime plus (your) normal 40 hours" if this true you are advised to seek legal assistance from a labor & employment lawyer immediately.
