My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: New York
Hello, new to the forum and have been trying to find out information about working hours for exempt/salaried positions. I understand that for non-exempt individuals that they are required to get overtiime after 8 hours or 40 hours a week. In my case, I work in an exempt position. I know that overtime isn't paid, however my question is this: Do you have to work late if you don't want to. For instance I remeber someone telling me that its your choice in the matter that if its a salaried position that you dont really have to work late if you dont want to. We all know that its like an unspoken rule that usually there is compensation given back to people who work late through bonuses or what not for exempt positions. I am currently looking for a new job because of harrassment at work, however I also do not receive bonuses of any sort and have been in my current position for a couple years now. I no longer want to work late for these people if its not required of me. Do I have to work more than 40 hours if they want me to? Am I allowed to go home after 8 hours or can they fire me over the fact that I do not wish to work longer than 40 hours a week. I thought there was a law somewhere stating that you dont have to if you dont want to. I am afraid that they will fire me if I refuse to keep working late for them. I just want to know my rights in this situation. If they cant make me work late, can I sue them for firing me over this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
