In short (depending on the specific facts and circumstances of your case), depends, no and no. Each question you raise could potentially give rise to certain employment claims, but it all depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding the request for overtime and the layoffs. Please contact our firm if you'd like us to help you examine these issues.
