Asked on May 04th, 2014 on Labor and Employment - New Jersey
More details to this question:
I make about 30000 salary, I am a chef and my company does not pay us overtime for anything over 40hrs. However, if we do not work forty hours, they take our vacation time. Is this legal? Based on what I have read, and been told, companies aren't allowed to not pay overtime to employees that make less then a certain amount; is this true?

the answer is dependent upon your status as an employee. for example, 'exempt employees' are exempt from overtime. thye get paid a salary and get the job done in as few or as many hours as required. see IT specialists and chefs. ed dimon, esq.
