I have a management position at a fast food store. I am paid by the hour, and frequently work substantial amounts of overtime. The hours of all employees are tracked on a digital time clock. I have no problem with working overtime, as I knew this would be the case when I was promoted into this position.
However, my employer has recently begun insisting that I 'clock off' when my shift is supposed to end, and continue working as they do not wish to pay the extra wages.
Am I correct in saying this is illegal under Employment Law? And what recourse would I have as an employee to stop this?
