Your statement about not being paid overtime raises a few follow-up questions.  In order to determine whether you are entitled to overtime pay, I need to know: Where do you work?  If you don't want to give the name, I need to know the nature of the business and the size.   What do you do for your employer?  Are you in a management position?  Some employees are exempt from overtime laws and rules.  This means that they don't receive overtime because of the job that they do.  It's not your title that matters, but the duties you perform.  If you are not in a mangement role, there are other exemptions that may apply, so the answer to this question is vital to evaluating your eligibility to overtime compensation. If you're concerned about sharing too much information, you can go to www.dol.gov to read more about overtime requirements.  The Department of Labor (DOL) enforces the Fair Labor Standards Act.
