You might try checking the regulations in your province and federally to find out if what your employer is doing is illegal. It might be, though in the U.S. companies employing less than 20 people are often exempt from many regulations.

If it is dubious, you want to be careful how you use the information so that you don't get fired. But it might help you to say something like, "Since the way we handle overtime is a little unusual (*hint, hint: illegal!*), perhaps we could use mine to pay me while I'm on my trip."

I know firing 'troublemakers' is illegal, but they can find some excuse, and then you have to file a complaint and you might get the results by 2015. Grrr.

Everyone that i know that has worked there forever have tried everything to get them to change their policy about overtime and nothing has changed. And you're right, if any of us made a big deal over it, he'd find a reason to fire us....it's that kind of place

Your joke made me laugh out loud, Mindy. Good one.
It sux about the way your boss pays back the overtime. I don't know what you can do about it but it really is mean.

I'm glad that you liked the joke. The sad thing is that there isn't anything we can do about the overtime.
