Re: Overtime
Hello. In my opinion, you
have a right to be paid for
the time that you work!! Of
course, if you are part time,
you may not have union membership, if there is a union, so your option would be
to quit....file suit for what
you are owed, if they owe
you and it amounts to a lot
of money. If it is less than
what it would cost to hire
a lawyer (which is what you
should do) then realistically
you have to weigh costs
versus principle. Good
luck!
