It seems that exempt employees don't get overtime pay but outside of salaried employees I doubt factory workers meet any of the other requirements to be considered exempt. Knowing this I'm really curious how the company can even begin to think they could force these workers to work overtime without overtime pay.
>Oregon employers must pay overtime to nonexempt employees for all hours worked over 40 hours per week.
>The overtime rate under Oregon law is at least 1.5 times an employee’s regular pay rate.

Like you quoted they get OT after working an 8 hour shift but this is, at least to my understanding, pretty common with unions.
We are also a small business with a handful of employees, we use Deputy time clock system. We also use Gusto for payroll, and Deputy integrates so I can export time sheets right into Gusto.
We switched to an online time sheet because it allows us to restrict where they can clock in/out from (has to be from a computer in our facility) and I can monitor it easily. It sends me a message if anyone forgets to clock out, and only takes me 5 mins a week to completely run payroll, including approving and exporting timesheets.
It starts at $2/user/month which is the most affordable option I could find.
Well, if they are tying your salary to hours with butt in seat, then they are not adhering to how the labor laws define exempt salaried employees. In that case, they should be paying you overtime for any hours worked past 40.

Laws vary by state, doesn't look like NC legally requires any if you're 16+, but your employer sucks if they don't give employees breaks. Sauce: https://www.deputy.com/blog/meal-and-rest-break-laws-by-state
Per the FSLA you're required to be paid for overtime unless you make over 36568 per year or 684 per week. If you make less than that you're not FSLA exempt.
At the rate being given in this example you would be required to receive 1.5x pay over 40 hours.
Well that depends on your state. Here in FL lunch breaks are only required for employees under 18. If you’re over 18, lunch breaks are not required. There are a few rules you need to follow IF your company voluntarily decides to have them.
There is no federal law mandating lunch breaks.

> Please state the law where it's illegal to work multiple jobs at the same time?
Sure, it's called time theft, and it's punishable by law depending on where you live. Read more here. It says: > Time theft (sometimes called time stealing) is by definition the practice where employees bill their employer for time they have not actually worked.
I often see people complaining about things in the workplace, and from reading your comment you're absolutely right to do so.
So I'm going to make a suggestion.

Take ownership of the working roster by showing your supervisor how easy it is to schedule (you can even use software like https://www.deputy.com to design it in the first place, it has a free trial). Give examples of what you are doing to her manager (or area managers) show what benefits you bring.
If nothing else, if nothing changes at your current place you have a great example to show on your next interview of how you 'identified an issue, formulated a resolution, deployed a resolution, used continuous improvement, and provided stability to your companies operations' and even better it provides you with a step upwards.
As a manager the worst thing I can hear is 'My boss doesn't have a clue', often I don't, I do a different role to my guys, I used to live by the maxim of 'Don't ask someone to do something you can't do yourself' but in this 'climate' I often don't have the time to even begin, so I rely entirely on my team to tell me of issues and honestly to suggest fixes for them, because like yourself you know the issue intimately and can likely solve it better.
If you live in the US, contact the labor board in your state: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/contacts.!
Here’s a list of break laws by state: https://www.deputy.com/blog/meal-and-rest-break-laws-by-state
One of the franchisees in my network swears by Deputy. They can keep track of time and pay. The employees can also swap shifts and the manager can approve them.
Depends on where you live and work...sadly
Here’s a breakdown by state of where it is required, and where it isn’t
Sadly, there is no feseral requirement :-(
To follow up to the other response, about 31 states lack laws requiring employers to allow their employees breaks, Pennsylvania being one of them. When 3/5 of the country has no such laws, I find it somewhat disingenuous to say the country as a whole does. Many of these states do have some laws regarding breaks, but generally only regarding minors.
Yes, I would!! I pulled a lot of information from here https://www.deputy.com/us/blog/valuable-retail-skills-you-want-on-your-resume
A lot of paralegal work is just client management, and customer service which are all skills you can learn in retail too. A lot of small firms do on the job training, and disability attorneys are always looking for people to manage cases and hearings.
Employee management system is one of the most used tools that business owners find useful. It streamlines work and organises team management to a large extent. These systems are highly efficient as they track anything from payroll to performance and makes matters more reliable. The unique part about getting one of these systems is that you need to find one that suits all your companies needs and objectives. Such a system needs to cover all types of employees and thereby make the work function in a manner that promises better results. The factor of time will also be crucial, as it makes the employees spend less time on repetitive tasks. Visit scheduling software for the best employee management software.
9-5 were Banker's hours, which back in the day was the epitome of a dream job for miners, long shoremen, mule skinners etc. Anyone who showed up late for work was teased about "holding Banker's hours", still are in someplaces. lol In time, it evolved into the equivalent of a steady job with regular hours. Here's a link that gives you some of the history.
I'm looking for such software as well. Recently came across with https://www.deputy.com, it's a paid software and seems pretty basic. Anyone has any recommendation for a software that is able to include payroll for employees as well as input daily sales?
