OT is allowed for my team, but they've made it so there's many more hoops to jump through. Also we're supposed to get it approved in advance, which is laughable since we frequently get calls towards the end of our shift and our manager consistently leaves 2 hours before that.
you get paid overtime??????
Working OT as an hourly worker and being told not to report it is highly illegal. There are bodies of federal and state agencies setup to investigate and punish this. If true, report it.
"An employee is entitled to compensation for overtime as provided by federal and state law."

I was going once shown the formula that was used to calculate PKI. If you were an exempt employee and entered more than forty hours it negatively impacted your PKI.
You absolutely should report overtime hours of hourly non-exempt.
Obviously, be honest about it. Don’t slack off for a day or two, and then be forced to take overtime because you’re missing a deliverable or needing to do after hours coverage. 2 wrongs don’t make a right.
@gaz+1vUdwqIf - assuming you're salary, why not just put in 40hrs and don't obsess on whether you go over 30 minutes today or leave 30 minutes early tomorrow?
It's all fake numbers anyway if you're salary
Yes they do this! Some managers won't let you put in for overtime if you are hourly and yes it is breaking the law. This should be reported.
I was told if you're ahead of your number and working overtime they will pay it out with no issues. It's when you work overtime and are behind your number they start to side eye you... you work so much and don't hit your number... what's wrong with you?
I personally am very good about only doing 40 hours. If work late one day I work less the next. So my hours always equal 40 and I don't have to worry.
Non-exempt (Hourly) Employee are required to report Authorized hours worked and be compensated by the Employer. If the Employer is telling you not to report these required hours being worked, they are breaking the law. Go onto your State .gov website and reach out to your Attorney General or Dept/Division of Labor.
