Re: Overtime
If you are truly a manager, doing management duties mostly (a little helping with clean up doesn't remove you from that) and are paid at least over ~$24000 a year, then they don't have to pay you overtime at all.
On the other hand if they sent you out there to make sandwiches, then yes you are due overtime from someone. Send me a private reply - I love Overtime cases. They are generally open or shut and little gray area.
