Isn't unpaid overtime illegal?
- jedberg 7y agoNot if you're an exempt employee!
- conro1108 7y agoNot if the position is overtime exempt.
- saberdancer 7y agoI'm not sure if this exists in EU. Does anybody know of a similar situation in EU?
- Ntrails 7y agoAbsolutely does. Everyone just signs to opt out of the 40 hour (something like that) working week directive and contracts are clear that there is no such thing as overtime.
- mjparrott 7y agoYour job isn’t to do X hours of work your job is to meet a goal, objective or target. You don’t get to stop when the clock hits a certain hour in this industry.

- connicpu 7y agoIt's only illegal if your total salary would work out to less than minimum wage. Working 80 hour weeks year round at WA's 2020 minimum wage works out to $70k a year if you include time and a half after 40hrs/week.
- disillusioned 7y agoNot for white collar, FLSA-exempt employees! And boy is that a broad umbrella! See: https://www.dol.gov/whd/overtime/fs17a_overview.pdf https://www.dol.gov/whd/overtime/fs17a_overview.pdf
