Re: Billed Overtime hours

Dear Overtimer: Your employer is engaging in a truly dishonest act. You may wish to contact the U.S. Department of Labor, Wages and Hours Division and report your employer's violation of law, to say nothing of unethical and dishonest practices. But, if you do, you may have to find another job.

Your call.Good luck.

Sincerely, J. Norman Stark
