Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

I'm a salaried employee working for a company that requires me to work 45 hrs a week, where as an hourly employee doing the same job as me is only required to work 40. I have never signed a contract for the extra hrs and even my paycheck shows an even 80 hrs (I am paid bi-weekly) regardless of any extra time I put in.

In addition to that I am required to submit reports, and sit in on conference calls on my days off without being able to count that time as work time. I understand that things like that come along with being salaried employee, but if my employer require I work a certain amount of hrs shouldn't I be able to count that time?

Just because your employer says you are salaried does not make it so and it sounds like you should be getting paid for the overtime. I have a posting on my employee rights blog on this issue www.takethisjobnshoveitblog.com. If you have further questions, call my office at or check out my website at www.behrenlaw.com.
