Can a business compel its employees to sign a form agreeing to $10 an hour wages regardless of overtime worked? My work is trying to force through an agreement that all regular warehouse employees will make $10 an hour no matter how many hours they work, including overtime.
No, they must pay their employees overtime rates for overtime work. You should talk to a local attorney or contact the California Labor Commission (assuming that you work in California) about this situation.?
Employer may not lawfully enforce any agreement that is less than minimum wage, with time and a half for all work over 40 hours. I would have to do some math to see if this is a violation or not.
