Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida
Salaried Employee? overtime?
Hired as a cell phone sales Management trainee. I was told during the season the work week would be 48 hours and I would not be required to work any longer as a salaried employee. After the season it would drop down to 40 - 42 hrs a week on a 5 day week. I was told we would have paid vacations on major holidays.
This ended up being a job where I have worked 10-11 hour days on numerous occasions including Sundays which I was supposed to have off as well as 7 to 10 days straight without a day off. When there is a holiday your one day a week off is taken away. The pay is salaried plus split bonus between all employees at a location. The only employee at my location in most instances is me, and most of the stores do not regularly meet their bonus requirements.
Should I be getting paid overtime and should I continue to do work that is outside what they told me when I was hired?
Something is smelling very fishy here in Florida.
