Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Non-compensated work

I'm a part-time hourly worker and did not sign an employment contract. My employer expects me to man a company booth for 2-1/2 hours, on my day off, for no compensation whatsoever. No pay, not even comp time or mileage to help defray gasoline expenses. Is it legal for my employer to require such non-compensated work as a condition of my continuing employment? Thank you.

Re: Non-compensated work

Forcing you to perform uncompensated work is a violation of both Federal and FL law. I regularly handle cases seeking payment of wages for time worked. I handle these types of cases on a contingency basis which means I only collect a fee if I win your case for you. Feel free to call me for an at length (free) phone consult.

Re: Non-compensated work

If you are an hourly employee then you should be paid for each hour worked. Anything else is illegal.
