More details to this question:
took job 2 years ago on a few conditions such as my work schedule (8:30-4:30). Last week, out of nowhere, the boss decided to put me on a 40hr schedule with a 24hr notice and no compensation for those extra hours. Basically said take it or leave it. Is it legal??

the employer can increase the hours from 35 to 40. however, if you are an hourly employee, you must be paid for the additional hours. if you are a salaried employee, the situation is more complex. you may or may not be entitled to additional compensation. for example, are you an 'exempt' employee who does professional or management work ? you may not be entitled to additional compensation. ed dimon 732-797-1600
