Re: overtime

They call it "Chinese Overtime" and it's a sure sign you're being ripped off like an illegal immigrant in a sweatshop, hence the terminology.

From the sound of things, you're probably owed a substantial amount of backpay at a rate of TRIPLEtime for your employer's actions under current FLSA guidelines and law. If you would like to speak with my office you can contact me by email or through FLSAattorney.com.
