Anonymous on Burning Overtime
“They make us “burn our overtime,” which associates call “buying back our overtime.” If you have overtime they make us burn it on our lunches. Example: say you have one hour overtime. We get an hour unpaid lunch, but they have us take a two hour lunch instead, prior to our Friday [payday]. It is against Federal Law according to the Federal Wage Commission for them to make us do this. Unfortunately, the associates need their jobs so badly, that they are afraid to do anything about it and tolerate this practice.
