Legal Question in Employment Law in Louisiana
over time pay
I work at an appliance and electronics warehouse. we work aprox. 50-60 hours a week and after 40 hours it is counted as overtime on our checks but they pay us our hourly pay.. the company told us they dont have to pay overtime because they carry appliances that cross state lines it sounded funny to me so i wanted to find out if it is legal for them to not pay overtime but make us work extra hours.

Re: over time pay
You should be paid overtime unless you are in an exempt position. Go talk to an attorney. If you are successful in getting your wages, there are provisions for good damage pay and also for attorney fees.
